Muirfield Village Golf Club course breakdown
Now that we know the layout of the golf course, what else makes Muirfield Village Golf Club a challenge?
The golf course has a primary defense of landing areas crowded by trees, overhanging branches and rough. The course is set up like a US Open-lite course.
The greens are a good size, but they are typically incredibly fast -- some of the fastest played anywhere in professional golf. Missing in the wrong places will often lead to a three-putt.
The par 5s are not particularly tricky, but knowing how to get the ball in play off the tee is a big challenge.
