What about the 2-or-20 hole in semi-rotation at Engineers (corrected) and the 90-yarder at the resort in the Poconos?

I have played neither, so we will have to rely on others for expert analysis...

#12 at The Country Club is pretty decent at 125-130, a very small green with falloffs on all sides...this hole is removed for the Composite course...

Would you allow a squeeze at 132 yards for #17 at Sawgrass?

Sorry Paul

2 yards too long!

Otherwise I would have added Cypress #15 at 135 yards too...

Have to draw the line somewhere!!  ;)

Some Down Under candidates - 7th at Royal Melbourne West, 7th at Barnbougle. 13th at Kidnappers is pretty great too.

Evan,
 

   For courses I've played the first that comes to mind is the 15th at Spyglass (That tree on the left kills me!).

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

#9 at Caledonia; though it feels out of place in the routing and somewhat shoehorned, it is a great hole nonetheless.

I first thought of the Bad Baby at Jasper Park, but upon closer inspection it's 8 yards too long. A couple of definite contenders: the sixth at Royal Ashdown Forest, with its proto-island green, and the seventh at Royal Porthcawl, which can be savage in a crosswind and is ringed by some particularly nasty pot bunkers.
