Hole 2 at Lehigh Country Club presents a classic par 4 that rewards accuracy over raw power off the tee. The approach demands a well-struck iron to a green that punishes misjudged distances, making club selection critical. It's a hole where strategic patience often outperforms aggression.

Lehigh Country Club hole 2 offers a deceptively demanding test at 357.0 yards, where precision trumps power. This straight par 4 rewards golfers who commit fully to their tee shot strategy, finding the fairway with confidence rather than caution. The approach shot presents the hole's signature challenge—four distinct greenside bunkers encircle the putting surface, creating a gauntlet that punishes anything short, long, or offline. Handicap 11 reflects the demanding nature of this green complex, where accuracy matters more than distance. Players must club correctly and trust their swing, as the sand traps guard nearly every angle of approach. It's a hole that separates sharp iron play from careless execution, making club selection and shot shape critical to card a respectable score.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 21 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, prioritize accuracy over distance off the tee—a mid-iron or hybrid layup to this landing zone reduces the risk of finding trouble on this tight, 357-yard par 4.

tee shot

Longer hitters aiming to challenge the green should note the fairway widens to 29 yards at the 250-yard mark, offering a more forgiving landing area for those willing to take driver and attack this short par 4.

hazard warning

Three bunkers cluster tightly between 334.5 and 358.4 yards—directly in range for big hitters trying to drive the green on this 357-yard hole. Consider club selection carefully to either lay up short of 334 yards or carry all three hazards.

approach

Given the bunker cluster surrounding the 358-yard mark near the putting surface, approach shots should favor a controlled trajectory that avoids the sand rather than an aggressive line that risks catching one of the three greenside bunkers.

green

This small green (3,968 sq ft, playing 33 yards long by only 19 yards wide) demands precision on the approach—favor the correct yardage over aggressive pin-seeking, as the narrow 19-yard width leaves little margin for error on off-line shots.
