For me:

Copper Mill #3- Its short but the tee shot owns me for some reason. You can't go left at all and the tee is elevated and guarded by a massive bunker.

The Bluffs #10-#1 handicap and she earns it. Long par 4 with jail right. The fairway is almost always wet which makes her play even longer. The green is also very elevated.

City Park #7- Tee shot is pretty crazy, don't really have a sight line. You can Nitro over all the trees but the line has to be good. If your tee shot is not accurate you are in jail. Plus the green is the size of a parking spot.

Copper Mill #12- Long Par 5 with water running down the entire left side. Even if you Nitro the drive perfectly the second shot long and must be accurate. Almost always a lay up.

Santa Maria #5- Semi long par 3 with water on the left and jail on the right with a large bunker in the front. You pretty much have to be dancing to have a good chance for par.

Webb #14- frick that hole.

What says the board?

Of those, the only one listed that I would have is SM #5

CM #3 has bailout long and right over the bunkers,

City Park #7 isn't long and the line is just over the oak tree on the corner.

CM #12 is Driver, 5 iron, PW or 9 to a massive green.

Webb #14 is tough but once you birdie or par it one time, it doesn't seem as hard.




As for me (Public/Semi Private Courses):

SM #5
LSU #17
Bluffs #10
Beaver Creek #12 (tips only)
Island #11

CM #3 isnt bad for me but #12 does suck. #10 and #14 have killed my game more than a few times, talking about tee shots. Always seem to hit those right for whatever reason.

#14 and #15 at webb both suck as well.

#5 at SM is a bastard as well.

Forgot about this darling. On top of how hard it is, the fairway is always wet killing any good drives. Hole is very hard. Will add.

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.

Copper Mill 12 and Webb 14 are the two worst for me. I hate those holes.

The 2nd shot on CM #12 is a son of a bitch, lost many a ball trying to lay up to about 130-140.

Beaver #14 is a tough one, approach is usually a long iron for me,

Bluffs #10 is a nasty bastard.

LSU #17 is a long hole, hitting a good drive is a must or no chance at par for me.

SM #3 eats my lunch with the narrow fairway leading up to the green when trying to leave a short wedge approach.

Carter #11 - a little further from BR, but this hole is a bitch. Played from the tips once, hit a great drive and still had a long approach.

This list is a farce without any UClub holes.

Was shocked this wasn't in the OP. I hate this hole, and the wind seems to always be your face.

Start it out right with a draw, 56 yards to the pin. But do they ever move the pin off the ridge in the middle of the green?

Webb #14 shouldn't be that tough, but its the line that fricks with you. Apartments left, ditch in front of you and running on right side. You can Nitro a drive but then you end up next to the bathroom behind the trees. Not to mention the green is small as frick.
