| Golf-U.S. Open course hole by hole Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:04 PM PDT LOS ANGELES, June 11 (Reuters) - The majestic Pebble Beach Golf Links, one of the most famous and picturesque courses in the world, will host the U.S. Open for a fifth time next week. Designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, this classic venue on California's picturesque Monterey Peninsula was opened for play in 1919. Normally a par-72 layout, it has been set up as a par-71 and will measure 7,040 yards for the second major of the year, having been lengthened by 194 yards since the 2000 U.S. Open when Tiger Woods obliterated the field by a record 15 strokes. Built along low cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Pebble Beach is renowned for its small greens and stunning vistas, especially along the seven-hole stretch from the fourth that hugs the shoreline above Carmel Bay. The permanent venue for the PGA Tour's Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February, the seaside course has previously staged the U.S. Open in 1972, 1982, 1992 and 2000. Here is a hole-by-hole look at the layout: No. 1, par four, 380 yards - The first requirement on this short opening hole is to keep the ball in the fairway so many players will hit irons off the tee to set up approach shots into a narrow green. - - - - No. 2, par four, 502 yards - Normally a par-five at Pebble Beach, this hole has again been converted into a brutal par-four for the U.S. Open and will require a very long second shot into a narrow, deceptively fast green flanked by bunkers. - - - - No. 3, par four, 404 yards - This sharp dogleg left requires a draw off the tee with a long iron or hybrid and a high fade into the green, which slopes downward from right to left. - - - - No. 4, par four, 331 yards - The first of nine picturesque holes laid out directly above the shoreline, this short hole has rough and bunkers lurking on the left for tee shots directed away from Stillwater Cove on the right. - - - - No. 5, par three, 195 yards - A challenging hole where the prevailing wind, which blows in off the ocean, generally swirls and can make club and shot decisions very tricky. The small green is guarded by bunkers in the front and back left. - - - - No. 6, par five, 523 yards - This hole runs uphill along the right side of a high peninsula that juts out into the Pacific, and usually plays against the wind. The second landing area has been widened but could leave a blind third shot into a tiny, hilltop green protected by bunkers on both sides. - - - - No. 7, par three, 109 yards - The shortest hole in major championship golf, and also one of the most treacherous. From an elevated tee, the green appears almost entirely surrounded by water with waves crashing onto rocks to the right and back. Ocean winds can make club selection here very difficult. - - - - No. 8, par four, 428 yards - One of the most demanding holes at Pebble Beach, it starts with a blind, uphill tee shot to a narrow fairway that ends after about 220 yards at a cliff overlooking a beach. From there a middle-iron approach is needed to carry the waves and the rocky beach to a green perched above another cliff. - - - - No. 9, par four, 505 yards - Another very tough hole which runs parallel to the shore with its fairway sloping severely toward the ocean, leaving the ball below the player's feet and making a long second shot even more difficult. The green is guarded by a deep bunker on the left and a sheer drop down to the beach on the right. - - - - No. 10, par four, 495 yards - Another challenging hole along the beach with a fairway that slopes toward the waters of Carmel Bay and a green hugging a high cliff. In the 1972 Open, Jack Nicklaus hit his drive on to the beach before missing the green and making a double-bogey but he still won the championship. - - - - No. 11, par four, 390 yards - Despite the helping prevailing wind from the ocean, the tee shot here is blind to a very narrow landing area followed by a partially blind approach to a green that slopes severely from back to front. - - - - No. 12, par three, 202 yards - The second-longest par-three on the course, the green here is firm and tough to hold. Players will fare best if they can feed their tee shots in softly from right to left. Anything landing on the back half will end up in thick rough or bunkers behind the green. - - - - No. 13, par four, 445 yards - A new tee box has been added here to lengthen the hole by 45 yards, requiring players to hit a drive of around 250 into the prevailing wind to carry a cross bunker. While the sloping green is one of the slickest on the course, it can be attacked given the "bailout" area to the rear. - - - - No. 14, par five, 580 yards - The longest hole on the course and very few players will go for the green in two shots, opting instead for a short approach. Fairway bunkers on the right can be carried off the tee but, with the fairway on this right dogleg sloping to the left, drives can easily run through into the left rough. - - - - No. 15, par four, 397 yards - The fairway here has been narrowed to about 30-36 yards, which should persuade most players to hit an iron or fairway metal off the tee for accuracy and still leave a relatively short approach to a well-bunkered green. - - - - No. 16, par four, 403 yards - A sharp dogleg right where the safest strategy off the tee is an iron to the upper shelf of the fairway, some 240 yards out. This will offer the best approach to the green, which is framed by Cypress trees left and right and fronted by a wide bunker. - - - - No. 17, par three, 208 yards - The longest par-three on the course, it plays against the prevailing ocean wind and into the setting sun. From a relatively sheltered tee, the strength of the wind can be deceptive and players need to pay attention to the flag. In 1982 Tom Watson chipped in for birdie from deep rough to assure his victory, over Nicklaus. - - - - No. 18, par five, 543 yards - One of the most picturesque finishing holes in golf, it curls left along the Pacific coastline after starting out with a drive over the rocky shore to a narrow, firm and fast fairway where two Cypress trees lurk in the landing area. While longer hitters may try to reach the green in two, most will lay up for a more accurate approach.
