Sorry Tom. There might not be water on the 8th hole but there are red stakes. I know. I have been in there twice in three times around the course. Not really something I want to admit given the location of the hazard.

Carl,

#16 at Pine Valley is a downhill par 4 with a cool green.  #15 is a brute par 5 with a forced carry off the tee over the lake.  #7 at Pine Valley however?  Certainly on your list.

I stand corrected, thanks.
There are few great par 5's?? Meaning that there are even fewer great par's without water?

You have to look no further than the Sandbelt - KH + RM have some standouts though those at RM are more half par holes these days

Others that spring to mind =NSW 5th and Lost Farm 8th

2 @ Ballyhack is one of the greatest even if par fives with water are included in the list.

If not great, at least good:

14 Pebble
1 and 17 Riviera
16 Olympic

Golf Mag rated one of the par 5s at Durban (#3?) as among the four best in the world.  No water there.  Think they also listed #6  at Carnoustie, Hogan's Alley, among the top 4 in the world.
