Pinehurst #2, 5th Hole

Pros and duffers alike consider this 476-yard par-4 among the most brutal golf holes anywhere. “You drive to a blind fairway that slopes from right to left and runs away from you,” said Joe Rassett. “If you hit a good drive, you’re still faced with a second shot of 180 to 200 yards on a downhill right-to-left lie that needs to be hit to an elevated green that sits at an angle that’s not conducive to a positive mental image.”
