HOLE 1
A slight dogleg left that demands an accurate drive to navigate bunkers on both sides of the fairway. A strong drive will offer players the opportunity to reach the green in two. The green complex slopes severely from back to front and right to left. Ideal approaches will be left below the hole.

HOLE 2
Nestled into the base of Baltusrol Mountain, this hole requires a tee shot down the right side of the fairway, which features a dramatic slope from right to left. Drives played to the left side of the fairway will struggle to stay in the fairway. Approaches are played into a large green with a variety of unique hole locations. Pin locations on the right side of the green have returned as part of the restoration project. The location of the flag will dictate the approach.

HOLE 3
A long par 3 with a challenging green surrounded by bunkers that slopes to the left off Baltusrol Mountain. An up-and-down for par after a miss to the right is unlikely. A variety of tees allow the hole to be played from several different distances and angles. A proper tee shot will land in the middle or right side of the green and funnel toward the hole.

The approach from an uneven lie is one of the most challenging on the property, and is played to an elevated green that is guarded by deep bunkers on the left. A two-putt for par is a victory on this difficult and sloping green.

HOLE 5
With stunning views of the New York City skyline, this hole is played downhill with a dogleg to the right. A well-placed tee shot is required to avoid a wooded area to the right and a large American Elm tree just left of the fairway. Accurate drives leave players with a medium length approach into a green protected by bunkers short and left.

The infinity green on this long, downhill par 3 is well protected by bunkers in front and to the sides. A change in elevation must be accounted for off the tee. A large fairway has been restored short of the green. The putting surface is large, and will require two good putts to escape with par.

HOLE 8
A slight dogleg to the right with fairway bunkers on both sides. Drives that clear a large mound in the fairway will be rewarded with an additional 20-30 yards of roll. Precision is paramount on the second shot, as a large fairway bunker awaits to the left. An accurate shot to the right side of the fairway offers the optimal angle into a raised green, which is guarded by an American Elm on the left. The eighth green is the first on the Upper Course to slope from left to right.

A short par 4 that requires strategy off the tee. A large pond is positioned in the middle of the fairway but is easily cleared with a good drive. Players who take on the narrow fairway and bunker to the left will be rewarded with a short approach into the green, while a conservative drive will be played into a wide fairway short of the bunker. The green, which is the smallest on the property, was restored and lowered to its original footprint.

HOLE 12
The most accurate drive of the round is required on this short and narrow par 4. Tee shots should land on the left side of the fairway, as a ridge will propel balls forward and to the right. The approach is played into a slightly elevated green with a variety of hole locations. The hillside behind the green has been reduced to allow expansive views up the fifth fairway and challenge the player’s depth perception. Deep bunkers surround the green.

Danger is everywhere off the tee, with a pond and fairway bunker on the right and a creek that runs parallel to the left edge of the fairway. The ideal drive will land on the right side of the fairway, creating a great angle into a well-bunkered green. The approach should be played to the center of the green to avoid run-offs short right and off the back.

A picturesque par 4 played directly into Baltusrol Mountain. The dual greens and multiple teeing areas provide a unique challenge and offer a variety of ways to play the hole. Tee shots should be played up the left side of the fairway, as shots played to right face a blind uphill approach into both greens. The green on the right is protected by a small creek, while bunkers heavily guard the green on the left.

The green complex is heavily guarded by bunkers short, long and left, but a miss right may be even more costly, as players are left with an extremely difficult second shot from well below the putting surface.

HOLE 18
Length and accuracy are required on this demanding finishing hole. Tee shots should be played up the left side of the fairway, as drives to the middle and right side of the fairway risk running off into thick rough or strategically placed bunkers. The approach is long and challenging, and must navigate bunkers on both sides of the green. A swale in front of the green provides an opportunity to play short and bounce the approach onto the putting surface.
