A hole-by-hole guide to the Olympic club, the venue for this week's US Open.

1

Par Five, 533 yards. Downhill tee shot to fairway that doglegs right. Most players will reach the green in two, but those who lay up must avoid bunkers 40 yards shy of green.

2

Par Four, 394 yards. Narrow, tilted fairway takes driver out of players' hands. Elevated green slopes sharply from back to front.

3

Par Three, 223 yards. The Golden Gate Bridge seen from elevated tee is prettier view than the narrow green guarded by bunkers that tilts toward the back.

4

Par Four, 438 yards. Downhill tee shot to dogleg left. Second shot is blind and uphill.

5

Par Four, 457 yards. Dogleg right, downhill tee shot should leave a long to mid-iron second shot.

6

Par Four, 437 yards. A slight dogleg left featuring the only fairway bunker on the course. Green slopes back to front and right to left.

7

Par Four, 288 yards. Five bunkers guard green of course's shortest par four.

8

Par Three, 137 yards. Uphill tee shot to green which slopes dramatically from back to front.

9

Par Four, 433 yards. Doglegs right while fairway slopes in opposite direction.

10

Par Four, 422 yards. Dogleg right. Fade off the tee leaves a short downhill approach to green which slopes from front to back.

11

Par Four, 430 yards. Usually plays into the wind and gives players a chance to use their drivers. Two-tiered green guarded on right by large, deep bunker.

12

Par Four, 416 yards. Plays 26 yards longer than in 1987 due to new tee. Fairway slopes from left to right and two bunkers guard each side of the green.

13

Par Three, 186 yards. Plays downwind. Overhanging tree can come into play on left of narrow green which features bunkers in front and on both sides.

14

Par Four, 422 yards. Dogleg left, two bunkers to the right and left of green.

15

Par Three, 157 yards. Hump in the middle-right of the green, which is also guarded by two deep bunkers on the left.

16

Par Five, 609 yards. Distance and sharp dogleg left make it virutally impossible to reach green in two.

17

Par Four, 468 yards. Plays 40 yards longer than in 1987. Second shot is uphill into prevailing wind, while green slopes to the right away from the fairway.

18

Par Four, 347 yards. Downhill tee shot and uphill approach. Well-bunkered green slopes back to front.
