Golf Monthly takes an in-depth look at Pinehurst No.2 ahead of the 2014 US Open

Hole 17 – Par 3 – 205 yards

In many ways the 17th hole is similar to that of Pinehurst's 15th hole as both are of similar yardage and both are par 3 holes. However, unlike the 15th, this par 3 consists of a larger green that is easier to hit. There is a falloff in the front portion of the green. The most likely club used from the tee will be a mid-iron.
