Pick a Hole

[HawkeyeMS]

It would be a toss up between 17 at Sawgrass and 12 at Augusta for me

The final few holes at St andrews would be awesome with a crowd and the town looming over you. The postage stamp at Troon and coastal stretch at turnberry would be pretty special too.

Over the pond, I would say the 12th or 16th at Augusta, and the 17th at sawgrass would be hard to beat. While I love watching Scottsdale on the tv, I really wouldn't want to be in that cauldron.

13th Muirfield.
Very fast hourglass double tiered green.
Six foot deep coffin bunkers on both sides of the pinch point.
Steep hillocks with thick marmon grass surrounding.
Steep,fast, banked approach where the ball will roll back 50 yards.

Only for the brave.

Tap in 2 on my one and only attempt *smug*

The Postage Stamp at Royal Troon.

~120 yards and terrifying. I have played it a few times. Highlight is a birdie after hitting a 4 iron into a very strong wind.

If the pin is at the back of the long thin green it is especially difficult. If you go into the coffin bunker on the left side expect a high score!

18th at Royal Lytham StAnnes with a 1 shot lead, knowing you needed a great tee shot between the bunkers to give yourself the best chance of making par.

18th at TOC.

500 years of history, footsteps of champions, ghost of Old Tom, world's most knowledgeable gallery, shivers down the spine.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

12th at Augusta

 

[snell]

The 17th at Sawgrass for me....played the replica at Rudding Park Repton Course and it was great fun!

 

[Hobbit]

18th at TOC.

500 years of history, footsteps of champions, ghost of Old Tom, world's most knowledgeable gallery, shivers down the spine.

Playing into that green, with everyone lining the fence, even for just a club golfer visiting still sends goosebumps up my spine. Not difficult but the atmosphere - wow!

If it doesn't excite you, you haven't got a pulse.

Par 3 15th at North Berwick....Redan.

Par 3 15th at North Berwick....Redan.

A very over-rated hole in my opinion.

Hole 3b at punta mita,
view from the tee

Flying out this afternoon for a week here and have rounds lined up on the Bahia course for Mon,Tue and Weds.

Monday is a bit of a tournament with 10K USD hole in one at this par 3.

Looks pretty amazing and I will just be pleased to reach green ( or land) in one !!

Id 2nd that, it's bunker hell from the tee, then you got to hit the green. I was estatic when I birdied it when I played it. Cracking final hole, and Birkdales 18th worth a mention too.

 

[Kaizer_Soze]

16th at Augusta with the traditional Sunday pin position, would love to see if I could get one to come down off the slope and roll toward the hole.

 

[Capella]

I prefer to play when no one is watching, to be honest. Just the thought of a gallery or even a grand stand full of people watching is making me cringe.

 

[Captainron]

I think the 16th at Phoenix must be right up there just because it is utterly different from every other hole. Nowhere else do you get that many people around a golf hole.

If I was thinking in 'purist' terms then the 18th at the Old Course would be my choice.

 

[Dellboy]

Island hole at Sawgrass and a very large bag of balls
