Determining the world's hardest golf holes is subjective and can vary depending on factors like course conditions, weather, and the skill level of the golfer. However, there are several golf holes worldwide that are renowned for their difficulty due to various challenging features. Here are a few notable ones:
17th Hole, TPC Sawgrass (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, USA): The iconic 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is a par-3 island green that measures just 137 yards. While it's short in distance, the green is entirely surrounded by water, making it a nerve-wracking shot.
11th Hole, Augusta National Golf Club (Augusta, Georgia, USA): Known as "White Dogwood," the 505-yard par-4 11th hole at Augusta National demands precision and strategic play due to its tight fairway and a green that is heavily protected by bunkers.
18th Hole, Carnoustie Golf Links (Carnoustie, Scotland): "Barry Burn" is a meandering stream that intersects the fairway of the 18th hole, making it a formidable closing hole on one of the toughest links courses in the world.
13th Hole, Augusta National Golf Club: The 13th, known as "Azalea," is a par-5 that requires golfers to navigate a winding creek called "Rae's Creek." The second shot must carry the creek, and the green is surrounded by bunkers and slopes.
