Favourite par 3’s, 4’s & 5’s

[Deleted member 1147]

The forum’s best holes thread hasn’t been the success it could have been, with some unhappy with how it’s been put together.
So why don’t we just list out top 5 of each par and see if any holes are regular contenders?
(All holes we’ve played, in ?? & ?? )

Par 3's in Scotland I can think of off the top of my head that I enjoyed. I'm sure there will be others when I sit down and think about it.

Castle Stuart 11th
St Andrews Old 11th
St Andrews Castle 17th
Western Gailes 7th
Barassie 4th
Mach Dunes 5th (setting alone makes it tremendous)
Dundonald 11th
Dunaverty 4th
Royal Aberdeen 17th
Prestwick St Nick's 2nd
Callander 15th (I think)
Fereneze 4th (my first hole in 1 must get a mention for sentimental reasons)
Trump Aberdeen 3rd
Royal Troon 8th
Anstruther 5th (I think - bloody tough hole)
Kingsbarns 15th (I think?)

Was that a dig at me questioning the "voting system"?

No dig ?
It just went a bit sideways

He might have a dig at you because you can't count to 5 though

I'm farting about in the garden trying to keep/look busy. I'll get round to the 4's and 5's.

No rush, lockdown is still alive and kicking!
