The 17th at Sawgrass is a gimmick hole, if your looking for a par 3, you want the 7th at Pebble Beach

14th on the Old Course, called 'Long', just the most superb par 5. Out of bounds all down the right, the Beardies down the left, and you try and drive into the landing area known as 'The Elysian Fields'. Second shot hopefully over Hell bunker trying to avoid the 'Grave' and 'Ginger Beer'. Chip on to an incredibly undulating green that you will do well not to three putt. Pure theatre.
Easy hole. Thin the tee shot into the right rough about 30 yards short. Wait for the GM editorial team and cameraman to assemble, pitch to two feet and hole out for par
Great call,still not parred it despite about a dozen goes.
The 6th at my club which is a 520 yard par 5 with OOB all the way down the right.It is a beautiful golf hole and IMO one of the best par 5's in the UK.

17TH on the Old Course played it once easy 4, good drive ,6 iron just short ,chipped over the bunker holed putt,simples.
1st at Machrihanish ,class hole., or the 5th at Portstewart Strand 440 yards if i remember ,played it 15 times never parred it once ,elevated tee, then green set thru 2 large dunes with the 2nd shot up hill on to a 3 tierd green, probabaly plays nearer 480 when the flags at the back,and mostly into the wind.

10th on Sunningdale Old. Best par 4 I've ever played. Sheer joy.

Par 3- 10th at Royal Dornoch, just a beautiful 6 iron to a smallish green surrounded by pot bunkers with views to die for.
Par 4 - 6th at Boat of Garten, very attractive dogleg right, elevated tee, plays downhill to a heather and birches lined tight fairway, 2nd requires a very good shot over a dip to a hogsback green, sticks in the memory.

Lovely hole this, close to a miracle par there once when playing with Pieman & Region 3 (I think).....piped a nice flighted 8 iron over the trees and onto the 6th fairway, full wedge back over the trees to 15ftt and lipped the putt...............course management? Think outside the box!!!
Not my favourite, but love this hole too.
Ask Auburn Warrior about my chip in off the left hand bank for birdie.
It was nearly as good as PN Wokinghams fabulous chip in at last years Blackmoor meet.

The par 5 12th on the St. Mellion Nicklaus course.
From the tee.
From the fairway.
To the green.
The 12th at St. Mellion is one of the best par 5s you could play. The drive is one of the tightest you'll ever come across, almost claustrophobic on the tee! The par 3 before isn't too shabby either!!

Not played the Hawkstone Course yet but the 10th of the Championship Course is one of my favourite holes to look at with the giant lake on the right hand side (pretty scary for a slicer!). Sahara Corner is also a nice hole. Admittedly you have all probably played more nice courses than I have!
The Postage Stamp 8th at Troon.
I've been lucky enough to play it many times ( retired boss is a member
)
From the slightly elevated tee you're faced with a tiny green surrounded by pot bunkers which even in calm conditions and at only 120 yds is a challenge to find.
If the wind is blowing, anything can happen.
I always look forward to playing it.

I seem to be in the minority that find that par 3's don't float my boat.
To me, it's one shot. You have a teeing area and a green, it doesn't matter what's inbetween as far as playing it is concerned. Yes, it can look pretty, but it's still just a tee shot to a green.

Steve, look at those feet of yours. They're almost going as far right as that infamous shot at Machrihanish!

Played it once, easy two!
8 iron into right hand bunker. Sand iron into the hole for an unlikely 2! Troon back 9 is the toughest golf I've ever played. You can tell me Carnoustie is tougher if you like but Troon's back 9 into the wind is brutal!

Me on the 9th at RCD. Was happy to find the right side of the fairway. Great hole.

Tough one this.
One hole I do particularly like is the 13th at East Berks. Cracking long Par 3.

Over the years, I must have played that hole about a dozen times or more. I've only ever scored once on it. And that was 1 point during our 2nd round in September. I hate that poxy hole
