The Greatest Hole in Golf ?

Right up there with the best of them, definitely none more noisy..

16th hole at TPC Scottsdale

The 7th at Pebble Beach. I took this pic: (the green looks tiny from the tee)

17th at TPC Sawgrass - The one I really want to play!

This is the best hole I have played. Unfortunately the pictures do nothing to show the massive variations in height. Its either a 5 iron lay up with a wedge in, or if you have the length, perhaps a 5 wood or something similar onto the green. Super risky though.

some great holes and they all deserve a mention guys its hard pick and great question

christ there quite few choose from if had pick one I go 13th in Augusta the par 5 just because its hole that may require you play any type of shot at any situation

Golden Bell, Augusta's 12th

Yea my vote goes for Golden Bell aswell. Would give pretty much anything to tee it up on that hole. Read an article once that reported on people swimming down rays creek in the dead of night to hit a tee shot on number 12 at first light. Defo worth it, but apparently they have since blocked it off on both sides.

The 14th at the Creek, very challenging.

What a tough question. I played with someone (a Yank) off +2 who'd played Augusta, Pebble Beach, Sawgrass etc. and he said that holes never look as good as they do on TV. There was one at Pebble Beach that he waxed lyrical about, but he reckoned the best holes he'd ever played were at Turnberry (the 6th or the 9th?), Venezuela (!) and Royal County Down's 9th.

Then again, he didn't like Augusta, and Amen Corner looks incredible. I reckon every golfer who watches the Masters thinks to himself 'before I die, I want to play there'.

I've only played a handful of courses outside Ireland, so my choice would be Tralee's par 3 13th, Druid's Glen's par 4 13th or Narin & Portnoo's par 4 8th, but really, there are too many to choose from.

9th in Royal Co. Down

Nothing prepares you for when you reach the top of the hill, breathtaking!

As a spectator it's simply unreal, but purely because of the atmosphere.

Played it twice and without the stands and crowd as a golf hole it's nothing spectacular at all.

More bizarre than great

What a golf hole, unreal feeling when you play it!!!!!!!!
Also agree with Narin & Portnoo's par 4 8th, great golf hole

How about the "19th" hole at Legends Golf & Safari Resort in South Africa.;)

The course’s so-called “Xtreme 19th” hole is a par 3 — a par 3 whose tee is atop a cliff on Hanglip Mountain, more than 1,400 feet above a green carved like the continent of Africa. You’ve got to take a helicopter to get to the tee box, and from there it’s more than 630 yards to the pin. Once you tee off, it takes nearly 30 seconds for the ball to hit the ground.

Edit: I've just noticed someone else has already posted about this!but oh well, the video is cool anyway.

Can't believe you took my photo of Natalie Gulbis down. It'a fine to slag certain individuals off but a harmless pic of her hole, to cheer us all up, and like that, it's gone.

I'm on your side.

Good shout. The 2nd and 3rd are good but the "razors edge" is by far and away the best hole on the course in my opinion. Par 5 12th is a cracker too.

12th Hole at the MACREDDIN GOLF CLUB - great driving hole

PhilipMarlowe

Guys, no more Natalie pictures... undoubtedly she is fine but they are NSFW (not safe for work) pictures so that's one of the reasons that they are getting clipped.
Stick to golf holes

Body off Baywatch, Face off Crimewatch, you'd get inside the door of her trailer she'd batter you and steal your wallet. Trailer trash!
