I'm not sure what Mike and Ed think are blind shots. Do you mean where you can't see any portion of the green, a portion of the green, the bottom of the flag, the flag itself? There is also the matter of different landing areas for different golfers. What might be visible to some might not be for others. For instance, if you hit a very long drive on the 9th at Shinnecock, you can't see anything of the green, nor the flag. It might be easier for some to have a full shot in to a visible target. Last time I was there I hit it to the end of the fairway (from the member tees) and had no sight clues at all. I knew the green so it wasn't too unsettling. For someone there the first time, they might not have any confidence at all in the approach, this after a tremendous drive.
In the case of Rolling Green there are a number of blind and semi-blind shots as you would expect on a course with 11 uphill approach shots. Some blindness is irrespective of distance, others a result of distance, pin position and landing zone location. Now that I think of it, there are so many areas of greens that are unseen it must be a bit difficult for first timers and guests. It is a wonderful feature for members as it takes local knowledge to feel confident where the pin is and how to hit the shot. This certainly accounts for some of its difficulty.
If you end up on the left edge of the fairway on 1, most of the left side of the green is blind although the flag is visible everywhere.
If you are on the left side of 2 most of the left side of the green is hidden by the raised bunker; half the flag is visible.
The par 3 third green is visible from the tee, none at all from the left bunkers
Only the very front of the green is visible from most landing areas on 4, nothing on the left side at all. The best angle for attack is usually the right side of the fairway and there's a bit more of the green visible from this LZ. For most newcomers, if they think the shot is pin high, they're short. If they think they went over, its pin high for back pins. The partially blind nature of the green and being informed that the green has a severe back to front slope makes most golfers try to play below the hole. A front pin is tricky and many times balls trickle back down the steep slope leading up to the green on shots that try to stay below the pin.
On the left side of the fairway on 5 (where you should be on this level hole) the farther left the more of the green you can see. From the right side you can only see a bit of the rear of the green and the front quarter of the green due to the fronting bunkers.
All but the rear portion of this long green is visible from the tee on the par 3 6th.
Completely visible 7th green.
Only the front of the green is visible from most landing areas on the steeply uphill par 4. The landing area is level to the creeks and just over then the ground rises sharply to the green.
The 9th, a 620 yard uphill par 5, has so many different approach areas that it is hard to say how much is hidden. The green, especially on the left is usually not visible from most LZs.
On 10, all but the left edge of the green is visible from the tee on this LONG par 3.
The 11th is downhill then uphill. The entire green is visible from the tee like most holes so the pin position is not unknown when the approach shot is taken. The farther left the more green is visible. From the right only the very front is visible.
12 is partially visible from the left side of the fairway with back left and the right side obscured by hill and bunker. Like the 11th, a tee shot on the right side obscures most of the green save the front left.
13 is completely visible to strong drivers. For shorter hitters, it is mostly obscured because one has to hit down into a landing area below the green so that no parts of the green are visible, even some flag positions.
I have to take a break...taking my son to breakfast. I'll finish the post if anyone finds this at all of interest.
