From Nick Borrman:

There is a plethora of great published information out there about this ultra-exclusive private club. It starts with going to the official US Open page and clicking through all 18 hole flyovers to get a good understanding of what the players will face this week.

The fairways in general are wide, much wider than what you would expect at a US Open, but because of the slopes combined with the expected firm and fast conditions expected by the weekend, it will still be difficult to stay in the fairway. Runoff areas look brutally tough with natural barrancas coming into play on just about half of the holes.
