Par 4 – 426 yards
The famous church pews are introduced to you on this fabulous par 4 on the left-hand side off the tee and adjacent to your second shot. The boundary of the club property is down the right side, and the scale of Oakmont is truly felt for the first time as holes 4 to 8 flank your view to the left of the 3rd hole. Trusting your line is necessary for the blind second shot to the green that has dramatic run off in the front and rear of the hole. The green does not have an abundance of contour, but the small back subtle shelf is the most menacing pin-able area. Stop and look around from the 3rd green as it’s a high point and a majestic vista of one of the world’s greatest championship courses.
