The par-4 18th at Golspie is a real challenge. I have rarely seen that green hit in two.

David,

We can't give Golspie EVERY award!

He has a point though!

Another tough finishing hole, reminds me a bit of the 18th on the Kings at Gleneagles with the ridge in the fairway but Golspie plays much harder.

[Jon Wiggett]

He does indeed have a point. I had forgotten about it but that might be due to the fact that I had played it at least 10 times as a par 5 before I found out it was a par 4 so even now I still think of it as a 5.

Michael,


when I played Dornoch last week the 18th was a drive and 3/4 wedge but it certainly is a different challenge with a mid iron in your hand. As for the hardest closing hole it is hard to see past Carnoustie though Moray Old or Loch Lomond are also good shouts.


Jon

I used the same combination at Crail, into the wind.

Mike -

This morning I brought 3 fellows to play Golspie. It was the first time there for each of them. Walking off the 18th green, one fellow, a very well traveled golfer and a past president of the Donald Ross Society, said "this is a better course than Brora."

I certainly wasn't going to argue with him.

Better than Brora!  Hmmmmm......

Certainly one of the harder par 3 finishers!

[Mark_Rowlinson]

What sets Troon Old and Carnoustie apart for me is the fact that the 18th is just one of a long stretch of brutal holes coming in.

Good point Mark. Indeed Carnoustie has a bunch of holes which would make very difficult closing holes.
I'd like to add the 18th at Royal Aberdeen to the list.
