The 2023 U.S. Open will present a challenge no player in the field has ever encountered before. 

The North Course at Los Angeles Country Club is unique and new to everyone, with five par-3s ranging from 85 to 300 yards, a drivable par-4, three par-5s, dramatically undulating land, patchy rough and firm fairways and greens that run faster than L.A.’s freeways.
