Great calls on #6 PacDunes, it is one of my faves. You can pitch it, bump it, putt it. What more could you want? I can't wait until June 2 when I get to see it again. 8)

Let me add, as a homer, and from a lesser known course, the 6th hole on the South Course at Olympia Fields.  350 yards or so, downhill tee shot leaving a short shot to a volcano/fortress green with very deep and steep dropoffs left and, especially, right.  The dropoff right is known for some reason as "the Kitchen".  Go in the Kitchen it's instant 6 or higher because the green is quite narrow and it is difficult not to go over the green and down the other side.  I put a fairly lousy pic or two of the hole in the my home course write-up.  I think it is the best hole at the place.

From the other side of the pond:

New South Wales 14th- elevated green with no room for error

Newcastle 8th & 11th- anything but perfection = Bogey/other

Ditto 3rd at Kingston Heath, That pitch can give you nightmares :o
Lost Farm........ WOW!

Ive always liked Five Farms#7.  Its an uphill pitch, sometimes
from a hanging lie, to a small undulating green with some scary back to front slope.

Royal Adelaide #10.  The green is severely convex, especially if you come at it from the wrong angle.  open approach, but firm and fast green.
