Just as a side point. I was out playing in Las Vegas last week and the shortest par 3 was 147yds. And when I say short it was shorter than the next closest by 40yds. Most were about the 225-240yd mark. Not enjoyable at all.

Meyrick Park in Bournemouth starts with a 247 yard par 3 off the back tees then an easy par4, then par 4 stroke index 1 then a 248 yard par 3 4th.
Get through those 4 holes and you might make a decent score.

Our track has par 3's on the; 4th, 6th and 8th.
Another course near me starts with a 170 yard par 3, that I have played into the wind. 5 iron on your first shot is fun, over water, OB right :O

My course starts with a 170ish yard par 3, being a links the wind plays a big part in club selection. My last 2 rounds there I've hit 7 iron to the back of the green and 2 iron to the middle

1st, 3rd, 11th and 16th are our Par 3's, and sandwiched between them is SI5 Par 4. You do feel if you don't get off to a great start on the par 3's, you could be in for a long day!

My course is nine holes but with four par 3s (2nd, 4th, 7th, 9th) with different tee boxes for three of the four on the second loop.
The 9th generally plays around 165 off the whites but as the 18th its 225. Not a fun finish if you need to make a score.

Old Course St Andrews, only has two par 3's, and the first one is the 8th hole.
We have five par 3's but the first one is not until the 6th.

The Berkshire Red Course ?
Doesn't the blue have the same? Royal Ascot starts with a tricky 229 yard par 3 to ease you in - NOT

Our last 2 are par 3s. 17 is 195 and usually plays into the wind. 18 is 220 up the hill with OOB all up the right. Has been voted as one of the 10 hardest finishing holes in Scotland. You can walk off 16 on a decent score and end up walking off the last in tears.

what course is that? sounds like a real tough finish alright!
A course in Coventry (Windmill) starts with 3 x par 3's.
A lot of us at KGC would like to see our course played back-to-front which would mean a 190 yard par 3 start rather than a 475 yard par 4 immediately followed by some of the toughest holes on the course!
Don't think it will ever happen though.

I play on a pretty new course which has been made from what was an 18 hole par 3. It means there are a lot of older holes that are still par 3 but a few par 4's in there now. The 1,2,5,6,7,8,9 are all par 3 as is the 16,17,18. we are looking at increase a couple of these up to par 4's though and making 2 of the current par 4's par 5's.
