    9th definitely but 13th couldn't be considered as a 'driveable' green for an average club golfer on a regular basis in my opinion.

    In any event you didn't drive it if you were short :D

    yeah, but I'm not long. I imagine if people are taking about driveable par 4's, they are long hitters in their own regard anyways ;)

    Sure Athlone has 2 driveable ones if you're long enough, 14th and 15th holes. Both holes about 300 yards long, but with the right shape on both shots, they are definitely doable.

    Also, the 11th in Athlone from the Society tee is driveable. Downhill and the ground 80 yards short of the green is quite hard pan, so someone who hits it low and long could easily get on there!

    Seen the first and 13th drove in Moate, both without carry, not every day events mind.

    Forgot about the first. Never on for me as I hit an iron or my 5 wood off it, but with the right shape, it would definitely be doable :)

    Was walking off it and the ball just landed on the front and rolled up the green, for the 13th was on the 17th tee looking across, one lad caught my ear as I heard it land just short so I pointed it out to my partners and then the next shot landed on the front of the green as we were staring at the earlier ball, couple of those big hitters obviously.

    I think EVERY course should have a short risk/reward drivable par 4, put some fun into the game. Something around the 260 yard mark.

    My stuff on Adverts, mostly Tesla Pre Highland Model 3
