Yep although i've birdied them both it has to be either 15 or 16. I think 15th green gets the most sun so it is actually faster than all of the other greens on the course and I keep forgetting. It is so hard to hit a GIR on that hole it is insane. ![]() 351 Yards ![]() Actually to add onto these two 17 is a beast as well. It is actually like our own Amen corner. 17 is 450 something yards and is basically straight away but the approach is so deadly. In order to get the ball onto this green you have to hit the highest possible ball or you have to hit it 20 yards short and roll it up. The front part of the green and left side immediately bowl hard into the middle with severe slopes. Last year I found myself taking a PW from 157 in order to get the ball high enough to stick the green. ![]() |

I have 2 holes on my home course. 1st is a par 3 on our desert course, about 170yds, pond on the right, open on the left. The pond used to be covered in reeds and I never hit there, I was always left, they have since cleared reeds out and I can't stay out of it now. Frustrating. The other is a par 5 on our mountain course. Water left the whole way and the fairway is slanted left and shaved the whole length and around the green. I can get the drive down the middle, but the 2nd or 3rd shot seems to always end up in the water. I have just accepted a 6 or 7 as my par on that hole for the rest of my life.

Number 6, 398 yard par 4. Downhill tee shot, slight dogleg right, wooded hill on the right, reachable bunker on the left. Last 2 times I played it I sliced it into the trees, last time the ball bounced out but it left a really long 2nd shot. I'm gonna play in a league at this course so I better get this hole under control.

#18 at my home course is a 195 yard par 3 with a lake running the entire left side and behind the green, cart path and parking lot are on the right. 2 tier green with a pretty steep drop off the back. Wind is usually coming off the lake which makes you have to start the ball over the water and hope the wind pushes it back onto the green. Always second guess myself and hit it right at the green, only to end up well right.

I have one that is a par 3 also. There is nothing special about it, just a 160 yard par 3 with a little lake in front of you but it ends 30 yards shy of the green, so if you are a little short it is no big deal. It is an optical issue for me. The tee box is not cut straight at the green, and it just messes with my head. As hard as I try to visualize the hole without seeing the tee box, I always wind up hitting a big hook, and am never close to the green. Just thinking about that hole is making my blood boil a little bit.

We have 6 courses in the county I live in and hole No.4 at my home course is rated as the No.1 hardest hole in the county. It is a par 5 which plays 510 yards off the mens tee.
From the tee, the fairway runs down hill to a creek that is 220 yds from the tee. The entire right side, from tee to green is OB. At the creek, there are 3 large trees left (yellow circles) plus a wooden bridge. The opening from the trees left to the OB right is 55 yds. For me, playing safe, it is a iron tee shot just short of the creek. From there, you are faced with a blind shot forward, as the fairway slops towards the creek at the halfway point and runs downhill towards the green in the forward half of the long fairway. I often play a 3 wood as my second shot, which can bring the pond left into play as you play away from the OB right. If you make up to the downhill part of the fairway facing the green, you are then faced with a old Box Elder tree which hangs out to protect the front of the green, again with OB right. The green, which we nicknamed the "rock" many years ago, slopes towards you as you approach but the rear 2/3's is pretty flat which is where the pin is most of the time. The green is super small, 33 ft wide and 63 ft long, hard and super fast. Par is a great score here, birdies are rare and double or triple bogey common. This hole is often a round maker or breaker. ![]() |

Why yes I do! It is Hole #5 at Longshore in Westport, CT. You can go and see my bunker near the green where every year from June - September, they actually erect a cabana and provide me with my personal bunker raker, bringer of double scotch, pool boy. The pro shop actually tells people if they call to find me to go "look in the right front bunker at #5". Sad, I know....
To see my personal bunker scroll through the slide show here to Hole #5. If you need me, that's where I'll be! |

The 3rd hole at Kitty hawk the eagle course. Par 4 430 yard dog leg right water on the right and a creek that runs into the pond is where the dogleg starts around 220 to carry the creek. if you slice ir hook it right your in the pond. Carry the creek and you should have a 9 or 8i into the green. It's a big and fairly flat green but you can put up a big number on this hole.
