- 381
Hole Description:
The opening hole at Bellerive might best typify architect Robert Trent Jones’ description of a great golf hole as “a difficult par but a comfortable bogey.” The crowned fairway may be the most elusive of all to find with the tee shot, so the longer hitters may choose a 3-wood because the bunkers squeeze the landing area. Most players will hit a middle to short iron to this wide green. The player hitting his or her shot from the rough will have a hard time holding a shot into a left hole location.
Hole #2

- Hep: 16

- 372
Hole Description:
This hole probably saw the most dramatic changes from the renovation of 2006. It used to be a really difficult dogleg left where a player could not see the green from the tee. One of the main issues in the redesign was drainage and as such, the existing creek was transformed into a lake, which shortened the hole by 20 yards. Off the tee, if a player lands the ball in the fairway, he or she will be able to be aggressive with their second shot and attack any hole location. An errant tee shot and the player will have to play safe from a lie in the rough.

Hole Description:
An enticing par 3, this hole should offer several birdie opportunities, but beware of a poorly struck iron shot. Water surrounds much of the green, making the right and back hole locations dangerous to access. If the cup is cut over the left ridge, there will be a good chance to see a hole-in-one that day.

Hole Description:
Players will try to drive over the left fairway bunker, keeping the ball inside the opposite bunker, to get a shot at this well-protected green in two. At 522 yards, this par 5 gives up plenty of eagles, making it an exciting hole to play, even for the shorter hitters. Tee shots that find the rough or the many strategically placed bunkers will force players to lay up in the 80-100 yard range, short of the treacherous bunkers on the right side of the fairway. Players would like to make birdie here before going on to the next two difficult holes.

Hole Description:
This is one of the classic Robert Trent Jones par 4’s. Any kind of par will be much appreciated here, with the rare birdie chance coming when the hole is cut on the left side of a massive green. All tee shots kick to the right, towards an always thick and healthy rough. Unfortunately, the left rough is even harder to negotiate. Finding the fairway off the tee under any circumstance should be the goal of all players on this difficult hole.

Hole Description:
This is the signature par 3 at Bellerive. In the 1965 U.S. Open, this hole played to an incredible 4.03 stroke average. The green has even shrunk a bit since the renovation, making the front of the green just as difficult to hit as the back right shelf. Hole locations cut in the middle swale always provide some excitement with tee shots feeding toward the cup. Unfortunately, plan on seeing more than a few big numbers made here.

Hole Description:
This is the easiest par 4 on the front side. The proper tee shot puts a wedge in the player’s hands, allowing for a welcomed scoring opportunity. However, the green is well guarded and undulated, making it difficult to control approach shots coming from outside the fairway.

Hole Description:
This hole underwent a slight change to the landing area. The left fairway bunker, which guarded the dogleg, has been removed, allowing players to take an aggressive line that potentially affords them an opportunity to hit the green in two. The creek that hugs the right side is now exposed, making golfers think twice when laying up for their second shot. This green offers a wide but shallow target. Any hole cut on the left side of the green is protected by two deep bunkers.

Hole Description:
You can take your pick between holes 5, 10, or 15 as to which is the toughest of the par 4s at Bellerive, but this hole might yield as many bogeys as any of those. At only 437 yards, it’s not the length that makes this hole so challenging. The classic uphill approach to the most complicated green on the course makes it impossible to gauge the right distance in order to be hole high. If the hole is not cut in the front bowl, players will have very few good birdie chances. This hole might offer some of the most interesting up-and-down attempts or lag putts during the round.

Hole Description:
The 10th hole offers a great eagle or birdie opportunity for any player. Hitting the fairway is a must in order to have any chance at all of reaching the green with the second shot as the rough to the right and bunker to the left are unforgiving. A wide but shallow green provides some defense for a hole that a majority of players will be attacking with long irons or fairway metals. The deep bunkers in the front and behind the green should give the players pause when making decisions on their approach shots.

A true risk/reward short par 4! Players choosing to lay up short of the pond guarding the front right of the green will only need a mid iron to do so. This will leave the player with a wedge to a long, narrow green. The risk taker will need a precise drive in order to hit the green. However, the hole can also be played at distances of 271 to 325 yards, enticing more players to try to hit the green. With a pond guarding the front right of the green, the hole will likely surrender as many double-bogeys as it does birdies.

Secluded back in the trees, the 14th asks the player to hit a tee shot to a landing area guarded by treacherous bunkers on the right and deep rough on the left. The longer hitters will have to be most accurate, as the fairway narrows. The green is so tucked around the corner that players hitting approaches from the left side might not be able to see their target. Birdies will come in bunches when the hole is placed on the front right of the green.

However, miss short right or go over this shallow green and a player will find a most difficult up-and-down from the bunkers. The steep right-to-left slope makes short pitches and chips very challenging.

A well-struck second shot past a strategically placed cross bunker could provide the player with a realistic eagle or birdie chance. Approach shots should be played with great caution when the flag is on the right front or back of the green as any missed shot to the right will most likely end up in the hazard that winds its way down the entire right side of the hole.
