Enjoyable OOB

Are there any holes on which you enjoy the challenge of out-of-bounds used architecturally? The 1st at Royal Liverpool and the 18th at TOC come to mind.

I think the 14th at Sandwich could qualify here.
It's very intimidating and so close to the tee, and is in your thoughts for all 3 shots on the hole.

Mark,
Short par 4 4th at St Enodoc spring to mind. You can have a go at the green but if you push one out to the right you will find yourself OOB while a lay up is to a wider area where the OOB is less imposing.
I also quite enjoyed the challenge of the OOB up the right of the 18th at North Berwick, but then I'd parked my car around the corner just incase
Cheers,
James

I don't mind the challenge of oob, but I despise the penalty. IMO, the penalty should be the same as a hazard. The punishment just doesn't fit the crime. That said, #17 at TOC has to be the most visually intimidating oob anywhere.

There is no OOB.

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.
Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.
I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Merion has several fabulous uses of a boundary...#'s 2 and 7 scare the hell out of me while #'s 14 and 15 realy entice you. 14 might be better if the fairway ran closer to it.

#2 at Talking Stick North.
The entire hole strategy is based upon the straight-line OOB down the left side.
Many a golfer has watched helplessly as his/her ball has rolled like a putt under the wire fence into the desert, as there is nothing but flat grass to stop it until the fence...

Hyperion Field Club has tight ob right on the first 4 holes. I hit it right to left with a constant fear of missing wide right. Those first four holes create quite a gauntlet at the start of the round.
It feels a bit like going to the dentist but I think about it for weeks before playing there and feel pretty good about playing the holes well.
