Scorecard

Par 4

1

378 yds

The nervy opening tee shot is actually just a layup toward the bunker at the corner of the fairway, setting up an approach shot around 150 yards to a green that tilts strongly back-to-front and toward the ocean.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 5

2

509 yds

This hole is a reachable par-5 during guest play and will play as such during the U.S. Women’s Open. During PGA Tour and U.S. Open play, the hole is traditionally a par-4. For those laying up, the fairway stops 100 yards from the green in front of a hidden cross bunker.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

3

397 yds

The fairway on this dogleg-left threads bunkers on both sides of the fairway. An aggressive line around or over the trees can set up a short pitch into this well-protected green that runs out to the ocean.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

4

333 yds

This was the only par-4 to play under par at the 2019 U.S. Open, but plenty of trouble lurks, with nine bunkers surrounding the fairway and green. The ocean also comes into play for the first time, and will stick around for the next seven holes.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 3

5

189 yds

Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened for play in 1998, this green feeds from front-left to back-right. Beware of the bunker behind the green — it cuts into the putting surface more than it appears from the tee.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 5

6

498 yds

Take a good look at where the green is as you walk up to your drive. The second shot of this iconic par-5 climbs nearly four stories to an elevated second fairway.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 3

7

107 yds

Take a look at the flag on the sixth green to gauge what the wind is doing. Aces have been made here with clubs ranging from a lob wedge to a 3-iron.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

8

416 yds

From the bottom tees, an aiming rock helps you find this fairway, which pours over a cliff after about 240 yards. From there, enjoy what Jack Nicklaus calls his favorite approach shot in all of golf, over a seaside chasm to a green that steeply slopes from back-to-front.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

9

483 yds

Welcome to the toughest hole of the 2019 U.S. Open. The fairway plateaus 200 yards from the green, before falling right to Carmel Beach. Big drives get you closer to this well-protected green, but you'll have to deal with a downhill lie.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

10

444 yds

The widest fairway on the course slopes toward Carmel Beach, setting up a sidehill lie on this long par-4 to a green perched on the edge of a cliff.

Par 4

11

370 yds

Tee shots that find the left side of the fairway open up the approach into one of the smallest greens at Pebble Beach. Stay below the hole — this green slopes severely from back-to-front.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 3

12

202 yds

This demanding par-3 is surrounded by bunkers. A shot that threads the throat of the green will work its way left toward the ocean.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

13

401 yds

Drives that flirt with the fairway bunker on the left side set up the best angle into this green, which races toward the ocean.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 5

14

559 yds

This dangerous par-5 played over par at the 2019 U.S. Open, a rare occurence in today's game. Its elevated green might be the most challenging on the course. The shorter the third shot you have, the better your chances.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

15

393 yds

The prudent play is a drive that finishes short of the pot bunker in the middle of the fairway, setting up an approach shot inside of 125 yards. Although you can't see the ocean, the green slopes toward it.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 4

16

400 yds

A tee shot played over the island bunker in the middle of the fairway sets up a flat lie from 150 yards. Keep in mind that the green slopes strongly from right-to-left.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 3

17

182 yds

This iconic hourglass-shaped green can play 15 yards longer or shorter depending on the pin placement. The traditional Sunday U.S. Open hole location is back-left, where Jack Nicklaus famously hit the flag with a 1-iron and Tom Watson chipped in.

  • MAP >
  • PHOTOS >

Par 5

18

541 yds

It's the most famous finishing hole in golf. Aggressive drives attempting to reach this par-5 in two need to send their tee shots left of the tree in the fairway. Or you can safely play to the right of the tree, lay up and wedge onto the green.
