Royal Dornoch Golf Club - Hole 2 | Par 3 | Course Intelligence Guide

Standing behind the 2nd green at Royal Dornoch, you see the prototype of a design language that shaped American golf for a century. Donald Ross redesigned this hole and built into it the crowned green that would define his entire career, from Pinehurst No. 2 to Seminole to over 400 American courses. Hole 2 — Ord — at Royal Dornoch Championship Course is a Par 3, 177 yards. Two deep bunkers guard the front of the green. A grassy mound between diverts a short shot into either bunker. The plateau green has steep fall off on both sides and rear, and slopes back to front. Small is beautiful — and brutally testing. In this course intelligence film, Gary Dingwall, PGA Head Coach at Royal Dornoch, walks through exactly how the hole was designed to be played — the key decision points, the danger that is invisible from the tee, and the local knowledge that separates a round you understand from a round you survive. — WHAT THIS FILM COVERS — · Why Donald Ross redesigned this hole and what he was trying to achieve · The crowned green — how to read it and where to miss · The wind's effect on a par three that plays completely differently in both directions · The approach strategy that professionals use and most visitors never learn · The walk from the 2nd green to the 3rd tee — one of the great moments in golf Royal Dornoch Golf Club is ranked among the top five courses in the world and has been a pilgrimage destination for serious golfers since 1616.
