Unusual golf hole names

108 points iirc, won it by 30 odd points I think.

The next handicap committee meeting was fun, after I suggested that format.

Did that format ever resurface? Lol

Yep, they have done it on other occasions.

I played at Hazlemere recently, they have a hole named "Luke Donald's Ace". I couldn't for the life of me figure out what happened for it to get that name.

Twist and Shout (FOUR)

There are back to back par 3's at North Wales called "O.L." and "L.O."

 

[AntShadow]

The Astbury near Bridgnorth when owned by KK Downing had all the holes there named after Judas Priest songs, excellent course too until it closed!

 

[Pathetic Shark]

Monifieth has a hole called "Lucky Daddy". We've got one at Pyrford calling "that bleeping 9th"

 

[Big_G]

A course near us has a hole called "Kinheil"

Muckhart possibly Brian. The 4th on the Cowden course is Spion Kop. Par 4 to a green at the top of the hill. Not a hard hole but one that is quite narrow at the mid point. Used to be a member there.

Canmore in Dunfermline also has a par 3, the 12th I think, called Spion Kop.

Craigie Hill GC, 5th is Spion Kop and 11th is Skinny Lizzie.

Craigie Hill GC, 5th is Spion Kop and 11th is Skinny Lizzie.

Seems it's a popular obscure name

Prefer names of holes to relate to the hole or some geographic feature or golfing aspect of the hole. Holes are not named in current track. But of clubs previously a member of I liked the names of holes on Pitlochry and East Renfrewshire. All conveyed a sense of place or golfing challenge - and I like that. Though what non-Scots might think of a hole called Lag-Na-Buie or Guid Skelp I am not so sure

I would assume the course designer was Polish.

I think Jamescek Bairdowskl for EastRen and Willaczek Fernski for PitL

The Army GC has a number of holes named after battles including Arnhem, Goose Green, The Somme, Waterloo

Not Beatles tracks I know but Mannings Heath has the first two holes called Soddom and Gomorrah

I was there last Friday to watch the Nokia Masters on the Europro tour. I can see why ... it looks a tough course. I shan’t be playing it ... I don’t think my drives carry far enough on some holes to get over the crap and onto the fairway! 😂 That’s the Waterfall course ... I used to like the easier Kingfisher course, but they converted nine of the holes into a vineyard. I wouldn’t mind, but I don’t drink wine. 😥

My club has names for all the holes, but none are particularly interesting ... although the 3rd, Devil’s Gorge, is aptly named 😕

The 6th hole af my club is called Amelia's Landing after Amelia Earheat landed there after her famous transatlantic solo flight.
