A place to nerd out. Give us all your thoughts on golf courses, no matter how deep or opinionated.

I was thinking about how many of my favorite and usually the most talked about or highly regarded par 3 holes are typically short and precise or long and heroic. Think Cypress 15/16, Merion 13th, Royal Troon "Postage Stamp" 8th, Pebble Beach 7th, Oakmont 8th, Sawgrass 17th, Portrush 16th, Pac Dunes 11th, LACC North 11/15, etc.

I'm not sure exactly what the cut-off yardage should be for a "short" and "long" par three but generally think it's <150 yards and >210 yards.

This leaves Augusta's 12th, "Golden Bell" as the front runner for best mid length par-3s in the world as well as the Old Course's 11th "Eden".

What are some of the other most notable mid length par-3s in golf?
