The Challenge
- Men’s 430/428 metre par 5
- Women’s 420/401 metre par 5
A straightforward loosener with a testing approach shot to a slightly elevated green. Bunkers catch any wayward shots to the right front of the green. Stray shots to the right can result in being out-of bounds.

St. Anne's
- Men’s 157/120 metre par 3
- Women’s 118/151 metre par 3
Straight forward hit to a 2 tier green. Any wayward shots to the left will be punished by a strand of pine trees which will make for a difficult second shot.

Merion
- Men’s 245/264 metre par 4
- Women’s 234/234 metre par 4
A fairway pond is located on a good driveable length. Tempting for long-hitters, a trap for the unwary.

Carnoustie
- Men’s 175/158 metre par 3
- Women’s 149/155 metre par 3
Delightful par 3 over a pond but not as easy as it looks. Tough hole in a crosswind.

Oakmount
- Men’s 244/245 metre par 4
- Women’s 237/244 metre par 4
A dogleg but keep the shot to the left of the fairway or to the right of the bunkers for the big hitters.

Hoylake
- Men’s 340/341 metre par 4
- Women’s 355/341 metre par 5
Another dog-leg that requires a good tee shot (avoid the right side) to make the rest easy.
