Best par 3 you’ve actually played

[KenL]

There’s a great par 3 at The Glen, again over the rocks and water, superb hole.

13th, Sea Hole.
Could be better as it is a blind hole from the tee.

This one on Mauna Lani South course, Big Island Hawaii.View attachment 46607

That’s a good looking golf hole.

9th at Turnberry is stunning
10th at hillside a little git of a hole but beautiful
17th at the JCB is comically good.

Love the 2nd at Woburn on the Duchess. Although the short par 3 3rd on th Duke gets most of the praise, the 2nd is a beautiful hole and pretty intimidating at the same time. Like threading cotton through a needle!

8th on the Arden course, Forest of Arden?

Think you're on your own with that one. Tough finish, but is it a great hole?

Saunton West Course will fill the 18th.
Saunton East will dislodge 17

The two that stand out is the Postage Stamp at Troon and the 17th at Littlestone

No, wouldn't say it's great, was just giving an option

Thread is best par 3 you’ve played, not best part 3 ever

Parkstone?

Parkstone?

On my bucket-list but probably won’t be playing it for another year or two

... and the 17th at Littlestone

Definitely nowhere near the best. It's brutal - particularly wind against, which is always when I've played it

 

[Golfnut1957]

The 1st at Aberdour. The 2nd is a bit tasty as well.

17th at Littlestone is a fantastic hole.
Maybe you would enjoy it more if you played it off the reds.

 

[IanM]

The 16th on West Course at Saunton is a super drop hole. This is from the tee, and the green is towards left side of the rainbow! The other green is 6th, a strong par 4 running in opposite direction.

Took this earlier in the month.

I guess its a definition - i remember hitting 8 iron in the morning and 3 wood in the afternoon...its challenging and memorable = good!

 

[Bratty]

I've been massively struggling with this one, as there's so many to choose from and so many I've forgotten.
9th at Silloth is lovely, with great bunkering and a very tricky green if you short-sided yourself.

 

[Deleted member 17920]

I agree, I have played so many good par 3's badly over the years but the one I would go back and play time and time again is the 12th at Hopeman, just love it as its so natural.

 

[Pants]

Maybe you would enjoy it more if you played it off the reds.

Why do you automatically make the assumption that I don't?

 

[clubchamp98]

The first at S&A is a good hole but can ruin your day.
