Hole 2 at White Horse Golf Club is a challenging par 4 that requires both accuracy and distance off the tee. From the championship tees, this hole measures at 439 yards with a handicap of 9, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.

The fairway width is relatively narrow at only 38 yards, so precision off the tee is crucial to avoid any potential hazards. The slight dogleg right adds an extra layer of strategy as players must navigate around trees and bunkers strategically placed along the fairway.

At an elevation of approximately 100 feet above sea level, altitude may impact ball flight conditions for longer hitters. In addition, wind can be a factor on this hole as it is partially exposed to gusts coming off Puget Sound.

For those who hit their driver around 217 yards, aiming towards the left side of the fairway will give them a better angle for their approach shot. However, players should also consider using a less powerful club such as a hybrid or long iron to ensure they stay in play and avoid any trouble spots.

From there, golfers are faced with an approach shot into a green that measures at just over 8,000 square feet. With only one percent greenside bunkers compared to total bunkers on this hole (7), players can focus more on their target rather than avoiding hazards near the green.

During different seasons and weather conditions in Kingston Washington (98346), local knowledge suggests that temperatures typically range from low-40s in winter months up to high-60s during summer months.
