You just beat me to it.  The 4th at Rye wouldn't be easily copied, but it's exceptional.

The four that leap to mind are

1) 14 Royal Dornoch
2) 11 Ballybunion
3) 5 Dunluce
4) 8 Crystal Downs

And there are SEVERAL bunkers behind and to the left of the 15th green at Kingsley.


Wade, Foxy is the TITLE of this thread and Ballybunion 11 is already mentioned.

Interesting. I don't remember seeing two greens in the World Atlas. What's the story behind that?

One of my favourite holes in golf: Haagsche 15.



Modern architects often like to make their mark with a specific bunker style, often more for aestetics than for strategic purposes. I support the Sean Arble principle of "Would the hole be any worse or even better without a certain bunker?" rather than, where can I put one?.....

After some reflection, I remembered Bully Pulpit #15

#10 the golf club.  not a great hole, but the grass berm in front of the green is innovative.

and #18 at TOC the greatest hole in golf?  Someones gotta be having trouble with math--subtract one and you might be right.  I think #18 is the worst hole on the course.

I mentioned it earlier but I'm going to tout the 1st at St. Enodoc...being completely natural, with a really neat greensite, and with this view after a blind second, it's awfully hard to top!

And, I would say #6 at Ballybunion Old is a better bunkerless hole than #7.  I loved that green with it's fall-offs and off the tee, it's very difficult to hit that fairway even without the out-of-bounds (which I'm normally not a big fan of).

How about Prestwick #13?
There is a bunker in the fairway, but it is a shared fairway with hole #16.
My recollection is that the bunker is primarily a hazard for the #16 and not #13.
Perhaps members who have played the course often can chime in on whether the bunker affects play off the #13 tee.
#13 is a great hole.

I'd add the 4th and 10th at Fishers Island to the list.
