One out and back couplet for a year

Tim's other thread makes for a lot of lot of uninteresting walking to get back to the tee.

I'd augment my answer there (Crystal Downs #7) with it's parallel 6th hole.

There is a good argument for St Andrews (Old) #12, followed by the reverse hole (13 tee to 11 green)

I'm hoping they are changing the pins frequently, because all the Dye talk this week has me thinking 15 & 16 at Crooked Stick.
That green at 15 is just... well... not boring, that's for sure.  For those who haven't seen it, from the player's view it looks like a giant crescent that starts low left, hooks dramatically uphill around a bunker and ends about a story up high left.  Can play as two completely different holes, really.

16 is more standard-issue, but it requires some thought off the tee and  brinksmanship on the approach.

Nice bonus - I can cut through the yards of a few big homes and be back to my little slum in 10 minutes on foot, without ever setting cheek in cart or car.  :)

7 and 8 and Sand Hills - absolutely no question.  Just give me some weather magic for 2/3 of the year.
