Hole of the Month: The Country Club #3 - Challenge for risky golfers
Not only possessing the features of a romantic country golf course, the 3rd hole of The Country Club - which will host the U.S. Open 2022, also brings extremely interesting challenges for adventurous golfers.
The Country Club, located in Brookline, Massachusetts, is one of the oldest country clubs in the United States. And one of the signature holes is the 3rd hole. To play this hole, the safe player can play their tee shot up the left side of the fairway where it will tumble out of sight as it rolls down the hill and leaves a lengthy approach over a protruding bunker to a green lined with sand on both sides. The risky player will bomb their tee shot over the rocky hill on the right side of the hole which will effectively carry the bottle neck portion of the hole and propel the ball to the top of the fairway. Effectively pulling off this tee shot will open up the angle to the green and leave a short wedge shot into the putting surface.
