Most difficult course you've played?

[thedoxology]

Ocean Course, Kiawah Island

77.4, 144, played it shortly before they shut it down for the '03 WGC there, I shot high 80s, 87 maybe, and i was a 2hdcp back then playing consistent tournament golf. It was brutal.

Pete Dye Course @ Barefoot Resort Myrtle Beach, SC

Tipped to 7500 yds at sea level. 4 280+ carries to fairway, and only 4 green surfaces visible on approach. Stupid hard emphasis on the stupid.

Every course I play is hard...even the easy ones...

Townsend Ridge in Massachusetts. So incredible tight with OB on either side of the fairways.

One fairway is literally 20 feet wide at one point.

The Bayonet Course at Ft. Ord, CA

I was told this course was used for Monday qualifying for the Crosby Pebble Beach tournament back in the 1970's and all the pro's hated it because it was so tough!

I have to add one, Wyncote in Oxford, PA. Tough course in the wind, which is more often than not. If it's quiet, you can post a score, but 7200 yards can turn into 8000 if the wind is whipping around out there.

Chambers Bay GC, home of the 2010 U.S. Amature and 2015 U.S. Open.

I don't know if it is as hard as others around the U.S. but it is the toughest I have played....yet. I will be playing Kapalua's The Plantation Course and Bay course this September.

Living 15 minutes from Chambers Bay, they better get their act together and get those greens right other wise the Open will be going eles where!

What's wrong with the greens? I've played it a few times and the greens were fine.

Wolf Creek in Mesquite, NV with wind of 20 to 30mph and gusts to almost 50mph.

I have played a few times as well, the lates was late July. I know people who have been out there in the past few weeks and each of them said multiple greens have been partialy redone and fully redone. I also believe that they have are on there second or third superintendent.

By all means I hope they don't take it away, I believe the Pacific Northwest should have a annual stop.

Last year I played The Grande in Michigan. I think it might not be that terrible if you played it a few times, but it handed me my lunch. Lots of long carries off tee and for approaches. I am not an especially long hitter, so it came me some fits. Nice course though, I'd like to have another shot at it.

I've played The Grande as well, very very tough course. Underrated in Michigan too. There are a ton of great golf courses in Michigan and The Grande never seems to be mentioned with any of them.

Interesting. I last played it in October I believe it was and everything seemed fine. That's why I was curious as to what was up.

NCR Country Club - South Course
I started bogey-par-par, then the wheels came off on 4.

honestly...i saw inconsistencies in the greens...not like it would've made a HUGE difference in my scoring that day... but some were extremely fast.... i remember 1,5, 9 and was that short 160 yard par 3 down hill with bunkers all over...15 or 16? those were lightening quick.

the only advice they really gave me was stay short or play a roll b/c the greens don't hold well.....but that's expected with a links course isn't it??? I forgot the # of this hole..but uphill and driveable that day....by far my favorite hole there.... it was the only hole i birdied if i remember correctly.

The green on that hole is the stupidest thing I have ever seen....should make for interesting TV, along with 8, 9, 13, 15, 16.

[sosinsurr]

Yes that green is HUGE! And I mean jesus HUGE!

The greens held well when I played, the girl that drove the shuttle bus down to the course from the club house said the greens were rolling around a 10 on the stimp meter that day.

I think 16 will make an interesting hole when they stick the flag back in the thumbnail portion of the green.

rtj ross bridge. it was stupidly long and made for a miserable day.
