whats the most intimidating hole you have ever played and why?

[G1BB0]

as per title. As we are on about the 18th at Wentworth, folks not happy with this element of their game and so forth. could be a tricky tee shot, a savage water hazard or a mare of a green.

post away

I think the 6th at Stoneleigh Deer Park off the back tee's must rank as "intimidating" 230+ yard par 3 to a raised green 5 pace's wide,surrounded by bunkers upto 6 feet deep !!

for me its the 18th on the brabazon, as if the tee shot isn't hard enough your then faced with a do i or dont i ? 2nd shot. Haven,t played a harder hole than that,Great finishing hole though

18th - Forest of Arden.
17th - my home club.
16th - Royal Lytham and Stan's gaff
15th - Royal St David's.

....I'll finish my list sometime after some zzzzz's

The first tee at the Old Course. Just because it is!

 

[chris661]

the 6th or 7th on the Tom Doak redesigned front 9 of the old Tom Morris links in Rossapenna 180 all carry to a small green tucked away

 

[LanDog]

When I was about to win my first comp and I was on the 18th at Greencastle Co. Donegal, an intimidating par3 with the entire clubhouse watching, with bunkers and a dick of green to contend with. Made a par and won the comp though!

 

[palindromicbob]

16th at Slieve Russell.

161 yards to carry water to the front of the green and then only 26 yards to play with to avoid the deep bunkers surrounding it.

 

[Mongoose]

Most of the holes off the back tees at Woburn's Duchess course.

 

[Imurg]

ALL of the holes off the back tees at Woburn's Duchess course.

Fixed that for you.......

 

[Paul_Stewart]

17th at St.Andrews - because you know what is there.

9th at Pyrford - 592 yards with OOB left, water right and then an island green - and it's usually into the wind.

 

[Mongoose]

ALL of the holes off the back tees at Woburn's Duchess course.

haha - it is pretty much like that. There were a couple that werent so intimidating, or maybe they were, just didnt seemquite so intimidating as the rest!

The 2nd at Monte Rei always scares me! The drive is over a big lake, with water then continuing down the right, with a prevailing wind which is generally into and off the left. Not a great combination.

If you get a decent drive away (you can't bail out left because there are a pair of fairway bunkers that side), you have to play a good positional second to prepare for an approach to a shallow raised green which is well bunkered and has none of the putting surface visible.

A tough par 5.

 

[Big_Tom]

the 18th at West Midlands Golf Club. Par 3 Island Green, with the club house watching and fisherman to the left, just adds to the pressure of the hole.
