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.

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.

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

All good choices, I'm going with:
1- GS #1- bad mutha fricker. Can't go left, in canal. Long right, in the tree monster. Even if you go long down the middle you end up with an uneven lie to approach a green with water. And oh yeah let's make it the opening hole.
2- SM #5- like the rest of y'all I hate this one. It's a par 3. I should be able to roll something up there and get up and down. But somehow that damn canal right finds a way to reach out and grab my ball. Sneaky how close to the green it is.
3- LSU #18- I don't get why this one is so hard. Nothing there to cost you a stroke. It's straight. But sure enough trees on right get in the way, or I approach long and end up in the damn ditch. Aggravating to say the least.
