It will be everywhere the players look at this year's U.S. Open. Chances are, if they're in it, they really don't want to be.
Lined with sand and dotted with native grasses and ball-entangling plants, the barranca at LACC winds through most of the first nine holes and part of the back nine, as well.
Use it in a sentence:"The barranca down below where the bunker is, it is very bad,” Collin Morikawa said when asked how he might approach the short par-4 sixth, a hole with options. Walking through this natural-looking, brown-greenish landscape hardly feels like being in the heart of modern-day LA. But it's the contrast of the course's features set against the skyscrapers and Beverly Hills glitz on the horizon that makes LACC one-of-a-kind.
“You can get a very bad lie, but you can also get a lie that’s all right to where you can hack it out to the middle of the green,” Morikawa said. Some areas inside the barrancas are marked as red-lined hazards, but others aren't, meaning a drop from an unplayable lie is still only a one-shot penalty, but with no guarantee the lie that results from a drop will be pure.
