This place at 6232 yards from the tips would definitely be on my list (photo taken last Saturday):

The highest point at St. George's is the 17th green, a terrifying little par 3 if you miss the green.  From here you get a decent look of many holes, including the sublime 450 yard par 4 13th.

Shoreacres is 6531 from the tips; 6350 from the members tees. This would've been my nominee.

Why are good short golf courses always called "sporty?" I don't get it. :) ;)

Sporty can also mean flashy or jazzy.

Tom,

Nice.  Impressive that you managed to fit in a 650 yard par 5, but shouldn't this be on the "Aggregate Course Competition" thread?

Yes, I'm pretty sure I do (and probably can get a few more from two of my playing partners that day).  I'm going to recompile my photo album from last fall with many of these new pics.  Spring course registration here at school, so it might be a few days.   ;)

Here is a pic of the par 5 2nd hole fw (coming up on the right) shared with the par 5 18th hole going down on the left.

Still kicking myself for not having my camera at St Georges.  It definitely needs to be added to the mix.
