Long hitters can certainly get to #2. In fact, I think #2 is the only birdie hole on the course.
Butler is a treat to play. The experience is fantastic; what a great way to spend 5 or 6 hours. It is one of the toughest golf courses I have ever played. As Tim said, you can make a high number any time. I am a 2 handicap, and when I played there I was 2-over par after 7 holes. I pushed my tee balls on #8 and #9, made 2 double bogeys, and just like that turned a 38 into a 42. On the back I was even par after 16, and finished double-triple, turning a 35 into a 40. Very easy to do there.Quick story about Butler's service: my buddy lives in Winnetka and belongs to Skokie. I stayed at his place overnight, and we drove to Butler early one morning to play (with traffic it took about 45 minutes to get there), getting there about 7:45. Once we got to Butler he realized he had his wife's car key (the only key), and she was driving out of town at 10:00. As a staff member was showing us around, my buddy said he had to leave to drive the key back to his house for his wife to use. The staff member said no way was my buddy leaving, that someone from Butler would take the key. "That's very nice," said my buddy, "but I live 45 minutes away." "No problem," said the staff member. "Just write your address down, and we'll get it to your wife by 10:00." That was very impressive; made the experience that much better.
