Watching this course eat up the best in the world got me thinking about what I would shoot with the exact conditions from their tees. I doubt I could keep it under 115, I cant reach 2 of those par 3s without hitting driver and that would have to be a good one at that.

I would at least three jack every green.

I'd say 120. I'm a 16 handicap.

Eta: make it 130.

115-120, would no doubt lose a ball a hole in that rough without spotters. You could walk over your ball 10 times in the first cut

I'd pretty much screw up the first few holes and just walk to the clubhouse and have a buncha beers

A club scratch golfer would be pushing 90+ out there easily.

115-120. Easily.

When I played, I was a 10. Playing from the US Open tees, I couldn't break 100 unless Lady Luck was riding shotgun.

On most of those holes, I'd be playing them as bogey at best and layup every time I had the chance.

Probably still shoot 110.

I would say its probably a 20 -25 shot swing from your normal score.
