Best par 3 ever played?


SHERO

Recommended Posts

Pics necessary
I know we all have many, but which one is your favourite?
BTW, :worth:

10th at Hermitage is definetly the most dramatic hole.
200 foot drop between green and tee.
The wind plays havoc, small multi-tiered green surrounded by bunkers and the River Liffey which always comes into play.
Included are pictures from the tee

Green back up to the tee

From the tee during a flood.


Cheers,

It's not the BEST par 3 I've ever played. But it is one of the most enjoyable and one of the few I have pic's of. The drop is about 100 feet, the ball seems to stay in the air forever. The course is Wolf Laurel Country Club in Mars Hill, NC.

Hard to top PB #7. Great picture, did you take that or get it from somewhere else?

Haha, The first picture is particularily un-flattering.
I couldn't find a better picture.

Here is a vid:

I've always loved a short but challenging flick of a hole. Few are better than the Postage Stamp 8th at Royal Troon. The 11th on Turnberry's Ailsa Course is another fantastic par 3 even if the attached photos are in the wrong order.

I think the 13th at Muirfield is one of the best par 3s on the planet, but I haven't been lucky enough to play there yet.

Sorry no pictures but there was a par 3 that was pretty much straight downhill at Stonehouse that I thought was pretty sweet. Also the 17th at Bethpage is a tester also.

[quote name='Beavs17' post='2151211' date='Dec 30 2009, 09:56 PM']Yep...it's a 145 yard elevation change from tee to green. Felt like I needed to hit 3 wood, and I believe I hit 6 iron to the back left bunker.[/quote]


Big 6-bat that is !! That really is a fantastic looking golf hole.Is that your home course ?

Bet you feel like you need a tin hat on when your teeing off on that hole to the right too,with the incoming fire.

I've only played it once, several years ago. I still remember it well though...it immediately came to mind when I saw this topic!

The Dell at Lahinch.

In the photo, you will see the green tucked behind a bunch of mounds. The tee box is out of the picture to the right. To hit the green, you aim over the mound (they place rock on top to guide your aim) and fire blind at the green. I nearly got my first (and only :-( ) hole in one there.

The Dell is another one of my favorites. I made a hole in one there a couple years ago when visiting a friend that lives in Lahinch. Forgetting the hole in one it is just a very unique fantastic hole. I loves watching my friend and his dad who had played countless rounds there use the edges of the dunes on chip shots to get the ball closer to the hole when they missed the green. I couldnt help but admire the imagination that they used instead of just pulling out their 60* wedge like most americans would do.

#7, #15 or #16 at Cypress Point Club.
The 4 par 3's at Cypress may be the greatest collection
of 3 pars at any location on earth #3 is often forgotten
but its still a great hole but when compared to the other
three it is a tough sell.
I feel that Dr. Mackenzie crafted some of the world's
greatest par 3's. That little one in Georgia @ #12 isn't
too shabby either or the finishing hole @ Pasatiempo.
Just a point to ponder?
