A bit of fun

Please make up an 18 hole golf course using a par 72 with 18 holes you have played or want to play.

You can only pick one hole from each course -

Layout must be 4 par 3's , 4 par 5's and 10 par 4's

:thup:
 
Do they have to stay as the correct hole in my dream course or can I move them around? For instance if I chose the 17th from the Old Course does it have to stay as the 17th or can i have it as the 5th on my course?
 
Excellent. Day off today so was trying to find something to do instead of tidying up the house. I'll get right on it and tell the other half it's a very important design job I'm working on.
 
I want 6 of each par on my course....like the Red at the Berkshires :(
 
In no particular order:

Par 5's:
13 @ Augusta
17 @ Hillside
12 @ Belfry (PGA)
14 @ Royal St Georges

Par 4's:
10 @ Riviera
18 @ Belfry (Brab')
14 @ Celtic Manor (2010)
17 @ East Lake
17 @ St Andrews (old)
18 @ Muirfield

Par 3's:
10 @ Congressional
17 @ Sawgrass
17 @ Medinah
1 @ Royal Lytham & St Annes (this should be the opening hole)

I'm sure no one will agree with any of the above, but it's a 1st draft, and done in a hurry during lunch.
 
Thought this would be pretty easy, but I know I've missed out loads of world class holes but.... He's my starter for 10 (not putting anything about Cypress Point / Pine Valley or other courses that I've never seen or played)

Edit again - only just noticed the 1 hole from each course part. Time to start again.......

Must have deleted them by accident when trying to decide between different options :p

add:
18th @ Muirfield Village
16th @ Wentworth before Ernie changed it
10th @ Turnberry (Ailsa)
10th @ Kedleston Park

all par 4's
 
Wow, this could be tricky.


Par 3's

7th at Pebble Beach
9th at St Annes Old Links
17th at TPC Sawgrass
12th at Augusta
8th at Royal Troon

Par 4's

18th at West Hill
10th at The Belfry
1st at Wentworth West Course (would play it as a 4 as pro's do, rather than the usual 5 for us mortals)
17th at St Andrews
5th at Isle of Purbeck (check out this view) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SyKo_Szz9o8#t=81
5th at Blackpool North Shore
18th at Carnoustie
1st at Plantation Course Kapalua

Par 5's

13th at Augusta
6th at Pebble Beach
1st at Desert Springs
2nd at Remedy Oak
18th at Abu Dhabi


That's my quickly thrown together dream course. For now.
 
Don't mean to be picky, but you have 2 holes from Pebble Beach (6th & 7th)
 
Apologies, have two from Augusta too. Would maybe sub the 12th at Augusta for 10th at Hillside and 6th at Pebble for 4th at Merion.

It's tricky isn't it - wanted the 10th at Hillside as well, but even though I played it like a tool, I loved the 17th so went for that (11th wasn't bad either).
 
Of the courses I've played

Par 4s
1st Royal St Davids
9th Turnberry (Ailsa)
18th West Hill
5th Caldy
2nd Wallasey (Ever wanted to know why Stableford was invented!!!)
7th Shooters Hill
3rd Crewe
18th West Lancs
18th Vale do Lobo (Ocean)
7th Wrexham

Par 5s
5th Aldersey Green
11th Quinta do Lago (South)
8th Royal Liverpool
2nd Sandiway

Par 3s
17th Littlestone
16th Vale do Lobo (Royal)
12th Aberdovey
12th Woodhall Spa

Well that was harder than I thought it'd be, and no doubt I've forgotten some brilliant golf holes!
