westy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Last week I played a 727 yard par 5, this weekend I'm playing a comp at a course which has a 75 yard par 3 over a quarry. Anyone played a shorter hole on a full course?

mizuno_lover Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The shortest hole I've ever played on a full length course was a 120 yard par three that played about 95 yards because of the elevation. It felt like about a 3/4 sand wedge and it was havoc in a strong wind again because it was so high up. It really messed with my head. My Bag Driver: G25 Stiff shaft3 Wood: JPX 850 16 degree.

Maac40 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Shortest hole I ever played was playing 68 yds. but it was also one of the toughest to putt on. It was on an executive course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkev Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The ones I've made 1's on - those are the shortest holes I've ever played - oh you mean by distance not time - I don't recall ever playing a hole under 90 on a regulation course - there's one that ranges from 60 to 95 on the Par 3 course that I will play on occasion.

Kor.A.Door Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 There is a par 3 at orchard hills country club in Buchanan Mich. That plays as an 80 yard shot, is probably the easiest/ hardest par 3 to play, it's straightforward, I think a bunker right and back, but nothing in he way, just an 80 yard shot. There is a hole at Tega Cay golf club here in South Carolina tha has a 120 yarded that is severely elevated so it plays to about.85-90 yards, a total guess unless you use slope on the rangefinder, that's a tough hole as well Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Last year I played at Oasis RV Park and Golf Course in Ephrata, WA. Nine hole par 27 with the smallest, mounded greens ever, but the were very smooth and quite fast. Hard greens to hit and you could putt right off them. On the 4th of July they had a blind draw scramble that my team won at 21.

BIG STU Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Pawleys Plantation on Pawley's Island SC has a par 3 over a swamp that can play anywhere from 55 yards to maybe 95 yards over a swamp to a narrow but long island green. Miss that green and you are screwed. The drop area is on the right side of the green. If the pin is all the way left you have a 75 foot putt. I did make a par that way one day. All the locals say that "It is the shortest par 5 Nicklaus ever designed" Caladonia right up the road from there has a short par 3 that may be only 100 yards at the most. Local legend has it that it was the only place to put the 9 th hole Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

sp0rtsfan86 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'd say around 75-80 yards. Most of the courses I used to play had some short holes. Around 100 yards in is about the shortest I see on a regular basis. The longest was a 240 yard par 3 or a 650 yard par 5. They were not fun.

NiftyNiblick Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The club to which I belonged for years is now acres and acres of house lots. It began as a social, health, and racquet sports club and then bought the run down, WPA Project muni next door from the town and fixed it up. I loved the place and miss it, but it was unique in that it had only ONE set of Field Turf tees and there was but one yardage listed on the card for every hole. Anyway, the shortest was 88 yds., but it was a fun hole because despite its shortish length, the course featured some of the largest greens in the area. This one, however, was the size of a pitch and putt course green--a small one at that--and the sudden contrast was visually jolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well, I played the hole twice on Sunday in a comp. 60 yards to clear quarry (dead in there). Then a green that's 100 feet wide but only 8 paces deep, that's sloping towards you steeply. Oh and it was down wind! Out the back is lush grabby rough up a bank. Went long in first round and didn't get up and down, left chip above hole.....cardinal sin. Lipped out for birdie in second round and had to hole a horrible 18 inch cross slope putt for the par. This was a hundred and ten year old course that has kept the original and strange start of a par 5 and then three par 3's (ranging from 75 yards to 200 yards) and then another par 5. Par 69 course of 5900 yards. Tiny greens, and I mean tiny. Love courses with character, makes a ncue change from the modern courses sometimes.
