...... that just pisses you off.
For me, it's #17 at Forest Hills. It's a par 5, uphill all the way. It's hard to tell, but it's a fairly good incline. Out of bounds on the cartpath to the left. The bunkers on the front and right side of the green are the deepest on the entire course: The ones on the right are 15 to 20 feet below the green.
The large live oak on the left side at the landing area catches and kills all slightly left tee shots. The fairway also slopes sharply left to right about here, and all slightly right shots are kicked into the rough or pine trees.
I usually play this hole from the white tees, which is listed as 506 yards, but I swear the grade is such a killer that it plays more like 606 yards. From the blue tees it is 554 yards and the black tees it is 563 yards.
I can rarely even get to the green in 3 on this hole. I have birdied it once: driver, 3 wood, PW and a 10 ft putt. My usual score is a bogey or double. I consider a par on this hole a moral victory.
This used to be #8 back in Bobby Jones' day, as the nines were reversed. That would make more sense, as then the finishing hole would be a par 5, instead of a short par 4. I have begged the club to switch the nines but they won't do it because they can't see the current #10 tee from the new clubhouse.
I hate this hole.
