Nevermind

Let's not forget the par 3 option at Sleepy Hollow.  I found it to be fun and had some charm to it.

I recall many details of the Lower Course at Sleep Hollow. For instance, I recall defeating you and Sims despite my erratic play. Also, I remember the par total for that 9-hole course being well above 27.

Disqualified.

Isn't Hamilton Farms the only USGA rated par 3 course ?

I thought I remembered seeing slopes & CRs on the Jones Trail's par 3s.  But it's been years since I've been.

Pat....that's what they say.  Far Hills is about 10 minutes away.

We certainly have to mention The Dunes in New Buffalo, MI. Awesome!

Do you mean The Dunes Club?  Certainly not a Par 3 course.

Cliffs Course at the Olympic Club

Hard to beat this one.

For Aesthetic beauty, no. For architectural attraction, challenge and totality, Hamilton Farms has no peer. It is, as has been mentioned numerous times over the past ten threads that have covered this subject, a complete 18 hole, fully-rated, course that is tough and demanding. The membership at HFGC doesn't play it as frequently as they should, but it's easily the best asset of that club.

I've played or seen many of the others mentioned here and none come close.


PS...Tiger Woods was unable to break par there in 3 consecutive rounds ten years back.

Jason,
You'll see slopes and ratings at other execs, but Hamilton Farms reaches the 3,000+ yard mark with 18 par 3s.
