We’re on the eve of the 118th US Open where the year’s second major championship will be played at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. After Brooks Koepka’s triumph at Erin Hills last year, the US Open will return to a more familiar setting in one of the oldest formal organized golf club in the United States.

So far, many players have raved about what a challenge this links-style golf course will provide for golf’s ultimate test. In the video above, take a look at a preview of the front 9 of this year’s US Open venue.
