#5 at Bishops Bay is a fun par 5.

I’ll throw out 5 at BWR River. Fun downhill tee shot out of the woods.

6 & 7 on straits are strong!

Hole looks beautiful, great postcard hole, in terms of how it plays it’s awful after the tee shot.

7 at BMGCC, 8 at SV, 9 at EH, 13 at BMGCC, 17 at SV - I think should all be nominations

I think we could reasonably get a par 70-73 with world-class holes

Never played it, so no idea

I’m gonna fight like hell for Blue Mound and Erin’s par 3s. Also loved 3 at BMCC.

it made the rounds on the internet earlier this year - Par 3 with a massive tree blocking the green

Yeah, one’s that jumped to mind for me were 7 at LL, 8 at SV, 9 at EH, 13 at MD, and 17 at SV. Not having played Blue Mound but seeing pictures, could easily see those being included

Maybe a worst 18 is to be debated after this composite…

Speaking of par3’s with big trees in the way, I’m going to ride hard for 8 at Grant Park.

Maybe one of the worst holes I’ve ever experienced. That tree is MASSIVE

If you can’t hit a 20 yard hook with a 4i, then get the hell off the course and go back to the range that they don’t have.

Oh they have a range, except you just don’t get the balls back after banging them into the trees.

I think this may be a stock shot for me with a 4i… finally found a hole that may fit this shot shape

Good call on 7 at LL - missed that one

Been tracking this whole thread just to nominate #5 at Glen Golf Park in Madison. IYKYK. Will put it in the running for hardest par 4 in the state. Made even more difficult by the recent reno which absolutely puts anyone walking up the 7 fairway in play.

For those who may not be familiar, plays as a dogleg left of about 440 yards. Approach shot through a roughly 10 yard gap in the trees so drive has to absolutely split the fairway. Green has a false front and long is dead.

Kicks off maybe my favorite two-hole stretch I played this year. Crazy land movement on this hole - can make it a three-shot hole and have a look at the smaller green (for a par 5) or go for it in two with a completely blind second shot from the bottom of the ravine.

I will say that I made par after topping my tee shot approx 15yds

6 - Mammoth Dunes - 344 - Par 4

The greensite it was stands out to me on this hole. The horseshoe green is super fun to mess around with. The hole presents some strategy off of the tee - try to drive the left side of the green and work the ball around the horseshoe or lay back and have a difficult second shot into the green
