For me it's the fourth and sixth on my local course.
The fourth is a long dog leg left through trees that line both sides of the fairway. The dog leg kicks in at about 190-200 yards, so you only need a 5 iron off the tee to reach the corner. A further 170-180 yards down the fairway the trees narrow down and there is a large tree towards the right hand side of the fairway and a pond next to it on the left - effectivley it means you need to go over the top of the tree or play across the pond but it's from a distance of 170-180 yards and you need to hit about 210-215 to clear the pond. Often found myself laying up to the left of the tree and playing down from there.
The sixth isn't particuarly difficult but it's a dog leg right and you have to be able to hit your driver HIGH to get over the trees on the corner of the dog leg. I don't hit the ball particuarly high but it's not exactly low either, but I have never cleared the trees - not once, infact very few people do. Means you end up playing a 3 or 4 iron to the left of the trees which just makes the 2nd shot 250+ yards rather than being 200-220 which is achievable with a well struck 3 hyrbid.
Love my home course - as you can probably tell
