What Are The Most Brutal Courses?

Renny I've played and you will need serious brass ones. Hawk Hollow by rep which I will be playing no later than October at the Mid Atlantic DGCR Meet .

Kennsington Toboggan is absolutely the hardest course I've played. The elevation changes leave your legs sore for days too.
I also need to add the back 8 at Pratt Park. The first 10 are nice but the back 8 is at a whole different level.
Campgaw Reservation has the most elevation change I've ever encountered and will flat wear you down.
summer or winter layout?
I played the summer/winter layout. Up one side and down the other. I cannot wait to get back and play the Fall/Spring and throw from the top of the slope.
Idlewild in Burlington, KY is probably the most difficult I can remember, and Jackson course at the PDGA HQ in GA is killer too.
I truly hope you don't think the only thing that makes a course difficult is the length of the holes. :thmbdown:
Distance is a horrible way to determine the difficulty of a course.
McHose Park will wear you out by the time you get to hole 12. I guarantee it.
This is correct.
I may never go to Gateway again. I shoot underpar at most courses in DFW. Very frustrating course for a intermediate player.

Yeah. I heard its ridiculous. 15 min away from my house, but I've never gone due to all the negative feedback and the amount of quality courses in proximity. Plus I'm not a big fan of middle aged male prostitution.
middle age male prostitution....BRUTAL!
I bet they are not out there when it's 100 degrees or more, unless they are truly dedicated.

Gateway West Fort Worth is currently getting a makeover.Holes 1-11,17,&18 are realy cleaned up. Still a tough course, But not like before. It will get better when they finish.

Dude you'd be surprised how dedicated some gay people are. I see them at the crack of dawn at my home course.
Crack of Doug you meant!
Seriously though...there are many things that make a course brutal and we all seem to difine it differently. I tend to think of brutal as excessively punishing to lesser players....you know the kind of course that requires throws that are just beyond your ability and will put you in the woods or the water or down the hill etc.....just because you could not hit that 20 ft wide 350 foot lane off the tee....the kind of course that demands precision and power and will brutalize your score if you dont have the ability or make a mistake....brutal means recovery is not possible or at least not easily possible.
I stand by my list and am considering French Creek due to the denseness off the woods off the tight fairways there.
I played WR Jackson at the IDGC today, and for me, it's comparable to Nevin. It's a bit longer with a bit more elevation, but noticeably more forgiving of errant throws.
