LSU #17


It is tough, no doubt. Hard green to hit. For some reason it has never really given me that much trouble. I often par it.

Uclub


I assumed this was a public/ semi private list, because all 18 holes at UClub from the back tee boxes (or the normal tips) are harder than all of the holes that have been listed so far, except for maybe 5 at SM.

17 at copper is a tricky approach shot..ended up short in the weeds too many times.

It is, its an awkward line, I always lay back on the tee shot because I think I'm gonna go in jail or the ditch, plus the approach is uphill with water left.

It's a small margin for error off the tee unless you are a big time hitter with the driver, and that green is so small with sand and water in play. It's a tough hole.



I hit the ball 265 on a good day and I had a 1/2 sand wedge in last time I played it. There's a lot more room down there because anything to the right that isn't banana sliced funnels left and the lake on the left moves away from the fairway in the landing area.

9 at NerdStone really shouldn't be that difficult for you.

3 wood,
6 iron,
Scoring iron
2 putt

It's the second shot that's the B. I did hear you say the pin position can be brutal. Up on the ridge runnin through the green looked to be the worst. Or just off of it.

SM #5 can screw up a nice round in a hurry

Carter #14 for some reason eats my lunch every time. Its in my head from the second I step on the tee box. frick that little par 4 with the creek crossing and all those deep arse bunkers. Just put me down for a snow man

Current #1? Or old #1, which is now 10? Neither are anywhere near #9 (old 18).

The other hole at Greystone that gives me fits is 15. You have to carry the water onto the sharp dogleg which can run you right off the fairway on the otherside, OR you layup at the corner which leaves you a long iron to the green that has that hay field in front of it. One night I'm going to sneak out there and fill up my truck with balls out of that long grass.

I'm surprised that BC #7 hasn't made the list yet!

440yards
uphill
into a wind (most of the time)
OB left

personally, i think that #14 at BC is harder just because you have to hit a huge fade off the tee.

Current number 1 at GS isn't that bad. If you're left, or short, there's no line at the pin.

Not a very easy first hole. When they flip the front and back, current #10 is gonna be a nice easy opening hole.

Uclub 3 and 4 shatter my confidence going into short par 3 over the water at 5


6 sucks too

Yes. 14 at BC needs to be in the mix. Not easy.
