Heading into the 126th U.S. Open we know one thing for sure—the star of the week is going to be Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. The iconic course located just off the eastern shoreline of Long Island truly has it all and is ready to present the stiffest of challenges for the best players in the world.
The one thing it mostly lacks, which will be easy to see when you flip on your television this week, is trees. There are rolling hills, elevated tee boxes and greens and lots and lots of fescue rough just waiting to derail a player’s hopes of winning our national championship.
