The 2011 US Open returns to Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. Here's your hole-by-hole guide to the Blue course that last hosted America's Open in 1997
Hole 12 Par 4 471 yards
Another hole that has been lengthened for the US Open, this dogleg left par 4 now plays 471 yards. There is a bunker on the right of the corner that will be in play for those who opt for a driver from the tee. From there a mid-iron shot downhill plays into a green protected by bunkers on both front corners. Ridges break up a medium sized green.
