Best 3 Hole Stretch | Par 3, 4 & 5
« on: October 26, 2015, 04:03:46 PM »
I was discussing Holston Hills with a fellow GCA-er and mentioned I thought stretch of 6, 7 and 8 was one of the best 3-hole stretches that included a hole of each par type.   I came up with a few others that I've played...so what is the best 3-hole stretch with a par 3, par 4 and par 5?

A few of my candidates I've played:

TPC Sawgrass 16, 17, 18 - obviously one of the most famous
Holston Hills 6, 7, 8 - fantastic variety, really cool shots
Crystal Downs 7, 8, 9 - 7 and 8 are all-world, 9 is decent but not up to the caliber of the 7 and 8
Whistling Straits - 10, 11, 12 - maybe the best par 5 and par 3 on the course, I'm not completely sold on 10 though
Cape Kidnappers - 13, 14, 15 - off the charts amazing in the views category, golf is ridiculous too
Kingsley Club - 1, 2, 3  - awesome trio right out of the gate
Streamsong Red - 7, 8, 9 - perhaps the best par 5 on property, along with a great short 3 and 4

Pebble Beach 6, 7, and 8. What do I win for being the first person to post the correct answer?


Also, a dark horse: Blackwolf Run Meadow-Valleys, 14, 15, and 16.

Anything beating 4,5 and 6 at Royal Melbourne is pretty good. 14-16 at Kingston Heath too.

I hate to be a homer, but the Grande Champione has to be 10, 11 and 12 at Dornoch (and I have played both Dornoch and Pebble Beach more times--in both cases over 5 decades--than most of the people on this board).

I'm going with what Mike said: Royal Melbourne (West), 4-6. In this country, 11-13 (or 12-14) at Augusta National aren't too shabby.

The 16th, 17th and 18th at Carnoustie used to provide a par 3-4-5 finish. 'Fun' with persimmon, steel and balata.

Cuscowilla does present a fine set of holes at 2, 3 and 4 but I would also nominate them for the most time consuming to play three holes in golf.

And to think - 13, 14 & 15 at SH is just as good a stretch! 


EDIT: Or 1, 2 and 3! Oh my...

Pacific Dunes has three sets. (11,12 and 13), (14, 15 and 16) or (16, 17 and 18).

I'd guess most good courses have such stretches of holes.
