Par 5 • 502 Yards • Mamaroneck, New York

Enhanced Content

Moderate

The second hole at Winged Foot Golf Club (East Course) presents a deceptively straightforward par 5 that embodies the course's reputation for precision over power. This 502-yard test features a straight layout that demands strategic thinking rather than brute force. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easy birdie opportunity, but the small green complex tells a different story. Players must navigate a generous fairway that gradually narrows toward the putting surface, where approach shots require pinpoint accuracy. The compact green leaves little margin for error on longer approach shots, making three-shot strategy often the prudent choice. This hole exemplifies Winged Foot's philosophy that par is always a good score, rewarding course management over aggressive play.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 200-yard landing zone where the fairway is at its widest at 36 yards - this gives you maximum margin for error and sets up the best angle for your second shot on this reachable par 5.

approach

If going for the green in two, be aware that the fairway narrows significantly to just 24 yards at the 250-yard mark - accuracy becomes critical for longer hitters attempting to get into optimal position.

green

The green measures 24 yards wide by 41 yards deep (6,120 sq ft total) - with its rectangular shape, club selection is crucial as distance control will be more important than lateral precision.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 491.3 yards guard the green complex - if laying up, stay well short of the 250-yard mark to avoid the narrow fairway and set up a comfortable wedge distance.

approach

At 502 yards, this par 5 is reachable for many players in two shots, but the risk/reward calculation changes dramatically after the 250-yard mark where the fairway width is cut in half.
