There are many great par 3 golf courses around the world, but here are some that are widely considered among the best:
Pebble Beach Golf Links (Par 3, 106 yards) - Located in California, USA, this iconic par 3 sits on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and requires a shot over the water to a small green.
Augusta National Golf Club (Hole 12, Par 3, 155 yards) - Home of The Masters, this par 3 is known as "Golden Bell" and requires a precise shot over water to a small green guarded by bunkers.
Cypress Point Club (Hole 15, Par 3, 231 yards) - Another California course, Cypress Point's par 3 15th requires a long shot over the ocean to a green surrounded by cliffs and rocky outcroppings.
Royal Troon Golf Club (Hole 8, Par 3, 123 yards) - Located in Scotland, Royal Troon's famous "Postage Stamp" hole is the shortest par 3 on the Open Championship rota but is notoriously difficult due to its small green and surrounding bunkers.
