Hardest holes in Wis

[WIGS]

In your opinions, what is the hardest hole to play in Wisconsin? Mine is #17 at Grignon Park in Kaukauna. It would be hard to believe anyone getting a birdie on the hole.

[tallpaul]

I have birdied that hole. I ran the first ever leagues there and have been playing that course since day one; I know of only three birds there. I birdied it the same day as I aced #18 (different round); in the short pin.

It is one of the best holes ever and often is a determining factor during a round (league play or otherwise). A three there is good....

#11 @ Tendick Nature Park, Saukville, WI. It's not too bad but it's pretty wooded, commonly know to the locals as "Devils @$$hole". It's hard for me to birdie..and par..lol.

Also quite a few at Winter Park, but that course was so much fun. The Hallway (Can't remember hole # off the top of my head) was challenging :)

[Ziggy]

Biggest score seperator and loss of man-juice belongs to hole #24 of Sandy Point. I have seen 2's and 12's on the same card.

I would also nominate
the gauntlet at Big Brother,
the 1000 footer at Gold,
#3 on the temp west course at SRO when it had telephone lines,
Brown Deer's #8 (i have yet to 3 it),
#15 at Silver Lake in the longs

[IronJack]

#8 in the long position at Brown Deer... if I walk away from that hole with only a bogey it's high fives all around.

[WIGS]

Tall Paul- Was it a long drive or a lucky 2nd shot

[tallpaul]

A combo of both (I was a ways around the corner; but not that far)....though I wouldn't call it lucky. Takes talent baby!! :)

[therealbigtrav]

Hole #8 at Blueberry Hill always gives me trouble. I almost never make it cleanly out of that initial corridor. #17 at Grignon is a tough birdie!

[#19325]

Highbridge Gold
Hole #6--B Position

My vote is Hole #8 at Highbridge Gold.... Unless you can throw 700ft have fun with that one.

[chickenonabun]

The hardest one I've played in the fox valley (I haven't played that many courses) is probably 7 at telulah; with 17 at grignon being close. I just always seem to hit a tree like 70 feet off the tee at telulah # 7.

[therealbigtrav]

I don't think 8 is that difficult. It's wide open, just really long. It's not tough at all as a par six. I think 18 on Granite is tougher for a long hole just because of the climb.

[Cgkdisc]

There are two ways to look at this. Either the hole with the highest overall scoring average which would probably be 8 on Highbridge Gold. Or, the hole with the highest scoring average over a legit value for par. Gold 6 at Highbridge as a par 5 might be one of the top ones. But it's likely there's a bonafide par 3 in Wisconsin with a scoring average close to 4 or more due to a really tight fairway and nastiness off of it or a hole well protected with punitive OB hazards.

Sandy point #24.

[Cgkdisc]

Yep. That might be the hole with the highest scoring average over par. I'm thinking it might be listed as a par 3 but is probably a par 4 since not many can throw that far off the tee then park their second shot.

that is one beast of hole, but my bro birdied it once...never even came close since, but all u need is once, right? :p

#8 in the long position at Brown Deer... if I walk away from that hole with only a bogey it's high fives all around.

I would have to agree with this, that hole is my least favorite hole of any coarse ive played. But also I wouldnt say its the hardest hole in the world. If you can get a good drive then you will be fine and have a chance to run it. But I would second that it is a bitch to get a 2 on.

i took a six on this hole at the GMO and walked away relived that it was over

Same here. Fortunately it was only triple bogey of the three rounds.

I wonder what the pros did on that hole. If you look at the score, if I remember correctly, even Barry, who had the best score, was only a couple under par.

Besides kool-aid superpowers..

For the pros, 1,2,3,4,5,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18 were deuce opportunities.
That's 13 birdie chances. Assumming a .333 avg of not hitting any trees , 4-5 birdies then 2 or so bogies. I'm pretty sure the majority bogey 8 + 9 and the rest, walked away clean. So going under can be had.

#24 at Sandy Point:thmbup: After playing woodland golf all afternoon, coming down to throw over all that open water is challenging. Wish I was there right now.

#10 Hiestand Park 537 feet of right side double bogey potential. Hit the fairway and one still has a tricky downhill approach into a prevailing headwind with a green thats much faster behind the basket than in front. Very good hole.

I agree. Gold #8 with a tailwind is a blast, but Granite #18 is a bitch any way you slice it.

[Lamp]

#8 at Brown Deer, long tees, hardest hole I've ever played in my life. I'm going to have to agree with those before and say that it actually is a relief when that hole is finished. There are probably a couple other holes at Brown Deer that would be in my top 5.

Finally another Sandy Point #24 believer :hfive:

#10 at hiestand in the long tees to long pin is brutal. What makes it even harder during tournaments is the insane wait it takes to throw this hole.. When I get to this hole, I just want to throw and get it over with instead of thinkingthinkthinkingthinkthinking it over...

[Jivecody]

Brown Deer #7 on top the hill, and #9 @ 738feet

I spotted on #10 for the last Ale Asylum Open. lol The wait is truly insane. There were like 20-25 people waiting on the shorts and longs for like an hour. Fairway gets pretty narrow after standing around for tic tic tic tic.

Lucky to have this hole on a home course.

[TheWCG]

Hole 4 on Bear @ Highbridge was definitely not easy. I need another hack at that one..

[Cgkdisc]

When we played it in an event before Worlds our Master pro group averaged over 8. In fact, it may have been the first time in a PDGA Sanctioned event in Master Pro where an 8 won the box for teeing on the next hole.

[basketcase15]

brown deer is a hard course in general, but yea 8 at long is ridiculous

[Jivecody]

Lost my camera glow golfing at abendschein =(((

[WIGS]

i have a hard time believing anyone can birdie # 17 hole at Grignon Park.

[SMBAlcandre85]

big anny over the top can get you a putt, or a throw in

[horsmanm]

Brown Deer #7 on top the hill, and #9 @ 738feet

Cody, you just need a bigger arm. Lol. I have deuced 7 in the spot on the hill and hit chains for an almost 2 on nine on Sunday. But yeah I think that my averages for both of those are like a 3.8 and a 4.4

[superberry]

#3 at Winter Park - Scotty G's Wooded Monster. It's a tough alley through the trees, uphill and back down to a blind landing spot that curves to the left. Don't do too far left because you have to throw 100-150' back uphill, through a gap, to a green on a slope and scattered with trees (rollaways are VERY common). A 3 is good!

Hole D (8D) can make you pucker as well, but it has been deuced way more often than #3 (never deuced that I know of).

[superberry]

^ #3 at Winter Park. Throw to landing zone, pitch to green, putt in - par 3. But it averages 4.54 according to all the scores on here.

There are two ways to look at this. Either the hole with the highest overall scoring average which would probably be 8 on Highbridge Gold. Or, the hole with the highest scoring average over a legit value for par. Gold 6 at Highbridge as a par 5 might be one of the top ones. But it's likely there's a bonafide par 3 in Wisconsin with a scoring average close to 4 or more due to a really tight fairway and nastiness off of it or a hole well protected with punitive OB hazards.

[superberry]

Hole 4 on Bear @ Highbridge was definitely not easy. I need another hack at that one..

I've 3'd it. We still have the scorecards. It was with Phil and Justin on a Memorial Day weekend. I 4'd it the other rounds we played.

[ZMan44]

While I don't claim to have played more than a handful of courses in Wisonsin, I have played some of the most highly rated. #6 at Highbridge Gold and #18 on the Granite Course have both been mentioned and get my vote. #24 at Sandy Point is just behind those two. I love the last hole at Sandy Point...it may be my favorite finishing hole...ever.

[ShebyDiscer]

Hole 8 at volrath park in sheboygan gives me trouble!!! The tee is off a cliff and you have to either sidearm or annhyzer(for righties) the disc through a 20 foot gap and weave in and out of trees. ANY shot that doesn't land in the putting area, which is basically a 15' circle, will take a LONG time to find the disc. The hole is short, only about 180', but it is the hardest hole on the course to me.:wall:
