Chambers Bay Golf Course Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Hole 2 at Chambers Bay Golf Course is a challenging par 4 that will test both the accuracy and distance of your shots. Located in University Place, Washington with zip code 98467, this course offers stunning views of the Puget Sound and can be played throughout all four seasons.

From the championship tees, Hole 2 measures 404 yards. With a handicap of 13, it is considered one of the more difficult holes on the course. The slight dogleg left requires a precise tee shot to avoid being blocked by trees on either side of the fairway.

For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, it is recommended to aim for the right side of the fairway off the tee. This will leave you with a shorter approach shot into one of two greenside bunkers that make up only 1% of total bunker coverage on this hole.

The green itself is large, measuring at approximately 15,507 square feet. However, its undulating surface can make putting tricky if not approached from an ideal angle. As such, for your second shot into this green we recommend using a pitching wedge (120 yards) or possibly even a sand wedge (around100-110 yards depending on conditions) to ensure proper control and placement onto this expansive putting surface.

Altitude may play a factor here as well due to Chambers Bay's proximity to sea level which may cause slightly longer carry distances than expected so keep that in mind when choosing clubs for your approach shots.

Overall weather conditions should also be taken into consideration when strategizing for Hole #2 at Chambers Bay Golf Course. On windy days or during colder temperatures where ball flight may be affected by denser air density then usual; consider clubbing up accordingly or playing conservative smart golf instead by laying back off-the-tee with something like an iron/hybrid/3wood/etc..

With only two bunkers guarding this green, water is not a concern on Hole 2. However, the large fairway and undulating green make accuracy and precision crucial for scoring well on this hole. Keep these tips in mind as you approach this challenging par 4 at Chambers Bay Golf Course.
