The Hardest Golf Course You Have Played
Courses and Architecture
GCA has a thread about the hardest golf course people have played, and I found it to be an interesting discussion.
One day per year at Hazeltine, we have a member event from the Tournament Tees, which play to about 7,950 yards. We also pick hole locations from a previous championship that we've hosted (this past year we used the hole locations from the 2024 U.S. Amateur Championship Match). It's a serious test, but one that our members embrace. We usually get 80 - 100 guys to play, the majority of them single digit handicaps, and almost invariably less than 5 people break 80.
For a "normal" course (one that isn't set up like a major championship), I think The Ocean Course at Kiawah is really difficult. I have only played it once and caught it on a calm day by Kiawah's standards. However, if the wind picks up out there, I could see that place becoming an absolute nightmare.
