All three par 5s at Newport are a blast. Seven is especially beautiful since the Sahara bunkers on the left were properly restored, and 10 does indeed have what I'm pretty sure is the oldest green in continuous use in the US. It's a straightforward hole -- downhill tee shot over a road to the famous furrows, and a small, two-level green that's that's deceptively difficult to read.
Number 12 -- ah, that's a hole. The hole -- called Valley -- has a large bunker in play off the tee on the right edge of the fairway, and anything left is dead. On the second shot, a bunker on the left pinches the landing area about 135 yards out. Then the fun begins. The green, which slopes severely downhil, is guarded by bunkers right and left. Any approach shot above the pin is a thrill ride coming down. All that plus a glimpse of the top of clubhouse behind the high rise of the 13th green makes this a wonderful, strategic and challenging experience.
