The miniscule (approximately 110 yards) par three 7th hole at Nine Flags Golf Course in Montdale, PA (formerly known as Scott-View Golf Course) is a tantalyzing tidbit of a hole that stimulated my love for the genre when I grew up playing there as a youth.
The tee sits on a steepish ledge, perhaps elevated 20 feet above the green's surface below. A dirt path winds down steeply from the tee, around a rugged outcrop (where my hapless brother happened one day upon a burrowed nest of stinging insects...a blind hazard certainly!), and down to the lower plain where the natural landforms and rock hard turf conditions provided all sorts of fun and challenge.
The green itself is elevated slighty above the surrounding terrain, particularly short and to the left, and just enough to act as the proverbial upside down saucer, or in this case, perhaps a pie-pan as the green is perhaps 2000 square feet.
Just short and left of the green, the ground falls away in a crescent shape, so that any ball that lands there gets swept away further left, particularly with the firm turf. That's the spot most find, as the green is hugged tight on the right side by a staggered nest of white birch trees, which adjoin a placid pond.
Due to the permutations of the ground, the hole does not accommodate a running approach, which would almost always be swept away to the left of the green.
Behind, the green dissolves gracefully into what becomes the first fairway, with not an inch of change in elevation. Thinking about it all these years later, "long" was surely the preferred miss. Yet, in watching and playing there hundreds of times, I can recall only being back there or seeing others there a mere handful of times.
Thinking back, I'd bet that the green is found on about 1 out of 5 or more attempts. There's nothing unfair about it and one can see everything right in front of them from the tee. It is just one of those holes (which most great short par threes have in common) where some type of Bermudian Triangle forces seem to conspire against the golfer's ability to muster up the correct distance, direction, and mindset to achieve success.
