The 9th at Leven is the very epitome of a corner hole. Nice little par 3, but a total pain in the tonsils bottleneck hole when the course is busy. You're supposed to wait for the players on the tenth tee to play before you hit, which can mean three or four groups on the 9th tee/green. I've walked off from the eighth green a few times...

The White River runs dark through the heart of the Town,
Washed the people coal-black from the hole in the ground.

The 9th at Lytham my fit the bill too.

Is the best example I can think of. Like playing in the middle of coronation street.

I am pretty certain that this hole is the inspiration for this thread.  The 12th at Sunningdale in Scarsdale,  New York is a 160 yard drop shot into a tight corner of the property and allows for the routing to flow really well.

Here is the 5th at Rockaway Hunt Club.  A draw fro the tee to a right pin travels over the OB.  This is about as tight of an area to fit a green complex.  This is a wonderful hole.

The 3rd hole at Wannamoisett is tucked into a corner of the property before heading along the rest of the perimeter or the property for the 4th, 5th and 6th

San Andres Golf Club, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Mungo Park design completed 1907 with no room to grow beyond its 6500 yards. The 3rd green is to the left of the picture, as well as the 5th tees. The par 3 measures all of 130 yards from the back tees, with factories at the back and right of the hole, and a property fence to the back. I have had more trouble with this hole than most other par 3s I have played.

...that work really well.

I'm thinking drop-shot, 125-145 yards...boundaries...perhaps stone walls...with a few pin positioned near them that strike fear in the golfer's heart.

Any out there?

The 4th at Merion West qualifies.  I think it's tucked into the SW corner of the property.
Legitimate drop shot--you can get a good sense from the third picture.  120 yard shot or so.  Not easy.

Blairgowrie Wee Course #7. 165 yards downhill. A road on the left, houses straight ahead.

Point Chautauqua Golf Club Hole #8.  125 yards, you can just see the out of bounds stake on the left of the lower tee which goes all the way down and the out of bounds right of the green.  Needs some tree removal, but a fun hole.



The green is actually pretty tiny, but fun.
