The 12th hole at Keith Foster's "Texas Star Golf Course" in Euless, TX has to be among the Top 3 most unusual, ballsy holes I've seen built in modern times.
It is almost as unusual as The Alps hole at NGLA, and I realize that is quite a statement.
The hole plays about 470 yards from the tips, to a par four, and the hole doglegs right fairly sharply at around 260 yards. There are three diagonal bunkers, each progressively longer, located exactly at the right hand corner. There is enormous room out to the left of them.
The problem is, if you bail left, you not only have an exceptionally long, uphill approach, but it's also COMPLETELY blind, due to both the uphill nature, as well as due to a rough-covered hillside that sits short left 50 yards short of the green. Only a drive the successfully challenges the trio of bunkers on the right gives the player any view of the flagstick.
The green itself is a narrow, elevated shelf that runs from front to back. Because the green is located not at the top of the hill, but on the downslope behind it, it does accommodate a straight run up shot, but it falls into trouble on all sides.
If one wants to play it conservatively for a bogey five, it's very do-able. However, those thinking par usually end up with worse than bogey.
How the owners let him build such a wild and unsually enticing hole is beyond me.
