7th at Gairloch.
91 yards with rocks all the way down to the green and the beach not too far behind it. From memory you cant see much of the green either from the tee.

I love that hole, I have hit 3 wood there in the morning and wedge in the afternoon.
Last time I played it 2 years ago you couldn't see the green from the tee because of the sea mist, Such a shame that you now walk back up the same way you went down and not up the other side, It holds up play no end.

The 14th at Hunstanton is a bit of a brute. 212 yards and completely blind as you play over the brow of a dune!! oh yeah and its Stroke 18. 
Tbhe 15th at Cruden Bay as mentioned previously, but at least you can see the right edge of the green so you have some idea of what you need to be doing.

+2 Cracking hole and very quirky with the flag telling people your on the green, when we were standing on the nxt tee, the group behind hit one long it ran down the path and all the way down the bottom ,some second shot that. Again on Arran the 15th or 16th at Whiting Bay has what is a like buried elephant in the middle of the green, get on the wrong side and is impossible to make par

I love the quirky 'traffic light' system on that hole

Keighley hole 11 - Par 3 uphill guarded by a huge Oak (I think) tree. Only about 120 yards but you need a massive shot to get over the thing or shot under it.

The 4th hole at Erewash Valley GC in Derbyshire, 92 yds played into the bottom of an old quarry. If memory serves, some people play it off the quarry wall rather than playing directly at the green.
Another is the 242yd 6th hole at Chevin GC, a blind tee shot, to a green with a (dry) moat in front and a steep bank behind.

5th hole at Powfoot. Stupidly long par 3 (258 from yellows!!) every time I've played it, it was into the wind. Whites are a couple of yards back, but they then make it a par 4, so it's only SI 17!
Nuts.
Nuts.

Castle Coombe has the 17th which is about 100ft drop. It's 150 or so yards but it is a chipped wedge at most

The Addington 13th. 230y off the whites, all carry to land on the green. Forget it if into the wind.

two come to mind that I have played:
The 17th castle course- st Andrews - Not as quirky as some have said on here but its about 180 yards over the north sea anything right its bye, bye ball and if you hit too hard will roll through the back into the gorse or through the green into the sea. don't forget you have to battle the wind and stuff up there too lol
cant remember the course I played but it was the last one on a society trip last year in Dumfries (maybe Duckster can name it) but it was around 160 yarder up hill, now I say up hill it was virtually vertical. hit it too soft and the ball is lost in rough or hit it too hard will run off at the green at the back. You have no idea where you ball will land as the green is behind a big ledge and if no one is at the top watching your shot chances are it will be lost

Anyone played the 17th at Halifax (Ogden)? http://halifaxgolfclub.co.uk/about/
150 yards, with probably a 150ft drop. Cabbage all the way until probs 15 yards short of the green, and bearing in mind you are high up on the moors, theres a 90% chance it's blowing a gale. I had no idea what club to hit.

Oldham golf course has 2 (possibly 3) par 3s where you have to use a marker post as a guide.
