right now my hardest hole is at Idlewild. hole 18. It is straight shot through the trees uphill 651 feet with a 20 foot wide fairway the whole entire time. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=507#
OK, all this talk of Idlewild made me want to go out there & play it today. But I'm a wimp, and played Idle Mild (short 24 & casual OB). Took fives on 5, 6, 15 & 18, so for me, they all tie. I'm OK with 5's on those holes at my rating.
btw, I was pleased to get a four on hole 10 (a rarity for me).
Hole 17 at Iron Hill. Almost impossible to not hit a tree.
Roane County Hole 13. 420 feet.
This hole is heavily wooded and the terrain slopes from left to right for the entire length of the hole. To make matters worse, Watts Bar Lake borders the entire hole on the downhill side of the slop.
From the tee you're faced with a straight line across a ravine that will require a 250' shot through trees to clear. Once across the ravine you'll find a sidewalk on your left that is OB.
If your tee shot lands clean on the basket side of the ravine you will now have a tough approach. OB sidewalk on left, OB lake on right and water 15 foot behind the basket.
Very tough hole in my opinion.
Currently down at AM Worlds Doubles playing Selah Ranch and the Trey Texas Ranch courses all for the first time. Hard to pick any one hole as being the most difficult but certainly a handful are among the hardest I've played.
Hardest that I can remember? Probably #9 at Blue Valley in Kansas City.
Double dogleg left (big wide U shape). Played as-
-350 feet across a valley.
-Turn hard right.
-300 feet through a tunnel.
-Turn hard right.
-350 feet down a tunnel.
Agree with this one. Hole 18 nockamixon can also be a killer
Lindrith, New Mexico on the Galloway Brothers' course. I don't remember the hole number, but it's the first one after climbing out of the canyon (maybe #14?). Very long, and when the wind is kicking it's almost impossible to find a suitable landing area to set up your second shot. Without wind and tourney pressure it's a tough one, then throw in competition conditions and it will test your mental fortitude. It'll make you want to chew rocks and spit out bad words.
Long 10 @ Stumpy Creek. Steep uphill to LZ, then double dogleg from there, with scattered trees throughout the pretty narrow fairway. Even with decent tee shot, I've never had a 'good' look at a second shot.
+1 for 5-Nevin.
15-Hornet's Nest. This one's maybe more of a personal nemesis. It just doesn't suit my eye well. Par 3, 320, slight up- to downhill. The ridge you go over mid-fairway is a gap about 10'. Hitting that gap alone is tough for me, but the slight uphill to the gap can make the rest of the shot squirrelly. After the gap there's some room to the right to work a shot, but if you don't get the movement back left to the basket, there's OB. Missing the gap, or leaving the fairway anywhere, especially left, makes par really tough. I've birdied it once, had to make about a 35 footer through the V in 'that tree' short of the green. Made plenty of 5s.
