1The first hole East is appropriately named Reveille, the wake-up hole, by its creator A. W. Tillinghast. In contrast to first hole West, this is an inviting hole, perhaps drivable.A relatively open fairway is flanked by two bunkers, but only the right bunker will threaten these long-hitting amateur golfers. An out of bounds on the right could entrap a sleepy2The 1923 brochure announcing the opening of Winged Foot explained this hole’s name as referring to the golfer being O-Bliged to hold a left — or, as horse racers would put it, “A dollar bill,” said the 1923 brochure, “couldn’t lie level on either of the first two greens with their pitches and rolls.”3When East was renovated in 2013, the original false front of this hole’s green was restored.The change reduced the landing area and encouraged any short shots to spin back and circle down the hill, leaving the golfer within a tricky chip over the left bunker. Formerly, th4It has a name that recognizes the two ponds that menace the golfer and is one of the prettiest holes on the course.It is also a double dogleg and of such unusual character that the 1923 opening brochure imagined it becoming “nationally famous.” The tee shot crosses water and heads to an elefrom which the first dogleg unfolds. The golfers’ second shots will be watched closely, with one or both of the team’s players potentially choosing to go for the green. RO-Bert5Shaped like a bootleg, this hole has been lengthened twice, most recently in 2013, by 30 yards. The golfer’s tee shot must be long and straight if he is to clear trees on the rigThe green is one of Tillinghast’s classic two-tiers, affording back flagstick positions behind a pronounced perpendicular spine.6This is the second of four great par 3s… and a long one.Golfers will hit irons to a dramatically sloped small green, stalking an essential — an uphill putt — while knowing that a shot landing too short will roll back off the green�7The first six holes at Winged Foot East track inexorably the eastern perimeter of the property, following a short-long, short-long, short-long pattern, as they weave their way throThe seventh hole, the first on this terrain, presents one of the most difficult par 4s at Winged Foot. The second shot, long to begin with, is made more difficult by an elongated, 8Played as a par 5 by the members and a par 4 in this championship, this hole emerges as pretty short, even for a par 4.The hole “hooks” left about 250 yards from the tee, a dogleg design that asks for a “lay-up” drive, unless the player decides to go for broke over the left trees, courting 9A dogleg slightly to the left, this hole favors adrive to the right-hand side of the fairway, a shot that opens up a green tightly bunkered on both left and right.Another unique green layout, unlike any on both courses, was here created from the fertile imagination of Mr. Tillinghast. There is a deep perpendicular swale at the back of the gr10This is one of the most scenic holes on the course, with the view from the tee taking in the full beauty of the east side of Winged Foot’s Tudor clubhouse. In days past, the gree11At 9 yards longer than 10 East, is this hole drivable as well? What hath God wrought?Any attempt to drive the green on this dogleg demands a 350-yard drive and then some, over trees to an extremely narrow green that is tightly bunkered. The green itself is steeply 12A demanding par 5 befitting its name, the 12th hole is the longest on the East Course. In the 1950s,Winged Foot pro Claude Harmon, on his way to a record-setting score of 61 on East, reached this hole in two; using his persimmon driver for both shots. So, yes, the second shot wit13If the West is a course of great par 4s, the 13th hole contributes mightily to the East’s reputation of great par 3s.The name Cameo likens this elevated green to the raised carving in a cameo brooch and brings to mind the jewel-like appearance of this green, mounted in a setting of bunkers and tr14The 14th hole is a classic dogleg par 4,finished off with a steeply sloped green tightly guarded by both left and right bunkers. The unfortunate player finding any of the near bunkers will be presented with an almost imp15The 1980 Senior Open program described the 15th hole as a “short par four.” Or nowadays is it a massively long par 3?The four-ball format will, in any case, invite the contenders to try to drive this domed, hardto- hold green.

That gained her two strokes on the comp18In medal-play championships, short par 4s are scorned as not challenging. But in this match-play format, this particular short par 4 could create great finales for any contenders gThe hole offers one of the more readable greens at Winged Foot. That means putts going in on top of putts could easily produce closing heroics.
