US Open Course Features Infamous Barranca Ravine Offering Beauty and Danger

The U.S. Open golf tournament is being held at Los Angeles Country Club.
The barranca, a deep gully or ravine, is the most feared and talked-about feature of the course.
The barranca winds through most of the first nine holes and part of the back nine.
The barranca presents a risk-reward challenge for players, with potential for both good and bad lies.
The course has been renovated to bring it back to its original California native feel.
