The fourth hole can be stretched to 230 yards
A hole-by-hole guide to Atlanta Athletic Club in Georgia - host course to the PGA Championship.
Hole 1, 454 yards, par 4: New tee has added some 25 yards to the dogleg left. Tall tree line guards the left side of the fairway and well bunkered to the right.
Hole 2, 514 yards, par 4: Normally a par five, but a long and tough four for majors. Narrow landing area with trees and heavy rough down the left. Green reshaped five years ago.
Hole 3, 475 yards, par 4: Prevailing wind is against with bunkers guarding the right side and a green that is deceptively fast from back to front.
Hole 4, 219 yards, par 3: A large lake guards the front, left and back of the long, narrow green, while a new tee has added 15 yards. Back-left hole location can stretch the hole to 230 yards.
Hole 5, 565 yards, par 5: Twenty-five yards longer than in 2001 and cross bunkers have been added about 100 yards short of the small, well-bunkered green.
Hole 6, 425 yards, par 4: Ideal tee shot will favour the left centre of the narrowest fairway on the course. Forward tee at 295 can make the green driveable, but there is a pond front left.
Hole 7, 184 yards, par 3: Wide, narrow and undulating green offers a number of difficult hole locations. Pond short, but large bunker is more of a factor.
Hole 8, 467 yards, par 4: New tee means it is a 280-yard carry over the corner of the water on this dogleg left. Water and sand short and left of the green, while there is trouble long too.
Hole 9, 426 yards, par 4: Bunkers left and right and anyone straying too far right will tangle with rough and be blocked out by trees. Wide green has a variety of challenging hole locations.
Hole 10, 442 yards, par 4: Dogleg right with a pair of bunkers guarding the left side of the fairway and another sand trap on the front and left of the green.
Hole 11, 457 yards, par 4: Sharp dogleg left with a 290-yard carry over the bunkers down the left. Plenty of room right, but it lengthens the approach to a well-protected green with pond on the right.
Hole 12, 551 yards, par 5: New elevated tee has added length to this dogleg left. Water protects the right side from 100 yards out from a relatively small and shallow green.
Hole 13, 372 yards, par 4: Shortest and tightest par four on the course. A sharp dogleg right with tall pines lining both sides and a slightly elevated green.
Hole 14, 468 yards, par 4: Slight dogleg right with massive bunkers protecting both sides. Ideal tee shot will be left centre, leaving an approach to the most severe green on the course.
Hole 15, 260 yards, par three: The hole David Toms aced during his 2001 victory plays extremely difficult with a large pond on the right. New highly-elevated tee has been added.
Hole 16, 476 yards, par 4: Narrow, long, uphill par four with new tee adding 35 yards and bunkers introduced down the right. Landing area tightens the further you drive it.
Hole 17, 207 yards, par 3: Huge lake surrounds most of the green. Beyond the green is dry, but well protected by bunkers and very difficult to stop any shot coming back downhill towards the water.
Hole 18, 507 yards, par 4: Played as the hardest hole in 2001, with Toms securing the title by laying up short of the water, hitting a wedge to 12 feet and making the par putt.
