Tom Doak and Terry Lavin,
I played Chicago Golf Club the Wednesday of Ryder Cup week. My host said that he had been out there that Monday, and was told the greens were stimping at 15. I put a ball down on the putting green, picked out a hole about 30 feet away, and proceeded to putt it 20 feet by! That golf course was as fast and firm as I have ever played (save for Ballyneal and Bandon Dunes), and I had played Shoreacres and Skokie the day before. What a fun way to play golf.
The only short holes I have played are #11 at Camargo, #12 at Shoreacres, and #10 at Chicago Golf Club. Of those three, I like Chicago Golf Club's the best. I really, really liked the green...you can't simply hit a short iron on and have a ho-hum two-putt. If you make a three on that hole you have to hit multiple good shots, or at least one superb shot.
Are there any other short holes with two horseshoes in the green?
The short at NGLA's green looks similarly testing and difficult. I can only imagine how much fun it is to play.
