1Hole #1 - One look at the opening holeand players will get a taste of the challenge that awaits them as part of a difficult opening stretch.A conservative tee shot provides plenty of room in the landing area, but a more aggressive drive puts the fairway bunkers on the left and trees on the right into play. Bunkers prot2Hole #2 - Famous golf writer Dan Jenkins included this slight dogleg-righthole among the best holes in America in a book published in the 1960s, and nothing has changed to diminish that distinction. The tee shot is one of the toughest on the course becauThe best shot shape is a fade. Most players will have a long, uphill approach shot to a large undulating green that is bunkered on the right and has hummocks on the left.3Hole #3 - A relatively short par 4 that is not to be taken lightly.The position and angle of the tee suggest hugging the right side is the optimum play, but if it leaks right, trees block the approach.The line is straightaway favoring the left side. This opens an approach with a short iron to a small, elevated green, but distance control is a must to reduce the risk of three-put4Hole #4 - Aim for the middleof the green on this difficult par 3 with trouble lurking all around. The green is guarded heavily on the left and the front right of the green. A recovery from the right is a bargThis green is a very difficult one to hit. Riding the prevailing wind with a draw is the best shot for finding the putting surface.5Hole #5 - Driving down into the valley mightappear easy on this hole named "Ocean Waves" by Scioto's founders, but the ball can hang on the slopes on either side or bound forward toward the creek 300 yards away.You want to position the tee shot dead center for the best shot into the green. The second shot is the real challenge, however and an errant tee shot will have to negotiate the cro6Hole #6 - The key here to setting up a birdie chance is a solid drive. There is plenty of room on the right, where even a tee shot that finds the rough still allows an avenue up the fairway.The two-tier green is reachable in two, but if the flag is in the front portion of the well-bunkered green, it's better to stay short of the putting surface than be above the hole.7Hole #7 - A well-struck drive inthe fairway could help yield another birdie opportunity, but a tee shot of average length leaves a severe uphill lie forthe approach to a green guarded by a hummock front left. Players must choose between a restrained tee shot short of the fairway bunker or use the width of the fairway to the right 8Hole #8 - This is Scioto's most picturesque hole,but it presents plenty of challenges. The hole plays as a par 5 for the members and was a par 5 in the 1986 U.S. Senior Open,but was a par 4 in the 1968 U.S. Amateur and the 2016 U.S. Senior Open. The primary challenge is positioning a tree shot hugging the left side to open up the approach over the lake9Hole #9 - This is a great hole,where the green sits at an angle and is deceptively difficult. In the 1926 U.S. Open, BO-B Jones never hitthe green here and played it in 3-5-4-4. It's easy to see why. It's a short but deceptive hole that plays slightly uphill, making it difficult to judge flag placements, and it also10Hole #10 - A beautiful hole but quite treacherous.An ideal tee shot should find the left half of the fairway, just at the top of an upslope.That should leave 130 to 140 yards to a green that slopes right to left and is guarded front and left by a creek. Short drives leave a blind shot, while a tee shot hit too far prov11Hole #11 - This is one of the shortest par 4s on the course and could be set up as a drivable hole with the tees moved up to 264 yards.Fairway bunker on the left pinches the fairway.A good drive sets up a wedge second shot from a canted uphill lie to a well bunkered elevated green. Trees block the approach if you stray to either side. Better players might want12Hole #12 - This hole commonly plays longer thanthe yardage suggests because you are hitting into the hill off the tee. If a player can reach the middle of the hill with his drive, it's possible to reach the green in two, thoughIf a player can reach the middle of the hill with his drive, it's possible to reach the green in two, though the hole swings more left than many people think. For most, the best te13Hole #13 - This is one of the tougher par 4s on the course,which plays relatively straightaway and into the prevailing wind to make it seem even longer. The fairway sloping downhill to the green looks inviting, and the second shot plays quThe green, heavily fortified with front and side bunkers, is canted against the fairway slope to create the illusion of putting uphill and makes for a difficult read. Three putts a14Hole #14 - The front edge of the green is a very smart play on this lengthy par 3.Attempting to play at the flagstick can result in a quick bogey, as this green tilts significantly left to right toward Riverside Drive. A recovery from the deep right-front bunkerAttempting to play at the flagstick can result in a quick bogey, as this green tilts significantly left to right toward Riverside Drive. A recovery from the deep right-front bunke15Hole #15 - A very demanding hole,where the conservative route off the tee is to play short of the left bunkers. A big hitter might opt to challenge the right bunkers at the inside of this dogleg-right with a line The second shot is to an undulating green guarded short left by a bunker and on the right by a bunker the length of the green. Gary Player three-putted this hole to cost him the 1916Hole #16 - A slight dogleg-right where long hittersneed to pay attention to the three bunkers on the left side of the fairway.Hitting the fairway is an absolute must. Level lies can be found at about 165 yards from the green and again at 135 and 120 yards. The second shot plays uphill to a natural green s17Hole #17 - This hole is extremely difficult for where it comes in the round.The soundest strategy here, once again, is to play for the middle of the green.Bunkers guard both front left and front right of the green and water comes into play over the green on the right. The view from the tee suggests it plays downhill, but it rarely do18Hole #18 - The wide fairway tempts players to hit all out for the extra distance from the new tee box to make the approach shot shorter and a bit easier, but that mistake could briThe second shot plays to one of Scioto's largest greens. Bunkers protect the front left and right side of the green and need to be avoided. Anything middle to back is the play, b
