Worst Hole in the Region

[Indio]

Ya had to know this one was coming!

What do you consider to be the worst hole to play in the Region?

[Big Johnny69]

No. 11 at Arnprior. I pity anyone who can put tons of spin on the ball. Your ball will be going for a swim.

[Dunny]

At least if you play it in April you can walk down the concrete wall to get your ball.

[Nat Williams]

Falcon Ridge, #10 ... for starters.

[fundonny]

Wow, I'm having a hard time thinking of one... It's been a loooooooooong winter!!!!!! That little pitch and putt at the Canadian, I think it's hole 10. I just think it's a ridiculous hole.

Chateau Cartier, #17

[Colby]

Falcon Ridge, #10 ... for starters.

The starters of what?

!0-11-12 at Falcon?!?

I agree!!!!!

[Nat Williams]

lol Colby, that was the idea just didn't want to bash them too badly

[fundonny]

I'd also nominate any hole at Gatineau in July or August (when it's dry).

[jmr73]

Chateau Cartier, #17

ditto

Forgot about that place..

I'll nominate the back 9 ... especially the par 4 you can hit w/ a 5 iron ...

I have to say that 18 at nation is dumb. A 56* wedge for a finishing hole is not much of a signature hole IMO.

Number 18 on Island at Pakenham. This is a strange hole with no danger off the tee. Hit a good drive and you have a 5 iron into a green that has a huge backstop. The layup point if 100 yards away, so it would be driver, 56*, 60*. The hole has no creativity.

One of my favourite hoels strangely enough is number 10 at Heritage. A bit gimmicky, but a good long iron shot can put you on in two, or a slight miss hit could be OB, or ion the water.

[Marmotte]

Used to be no 9 at Tecumseh where you had to play ar par 3 over the passing cars in the main entrance with cars roaring by on avenue St-Louis. But they made some improvements last year.
No I still consider the up-hill par 3 at Montebello (I think it's no9) to be a Mickey-Mouse design.

[Marmotte]

I only played it (the Gatineau) once, that was enough for me. $10 is too much for that place.

A housing project is starting to take over the North end. You may never have to return to it the way they are going.

[Sakuraba]

The correct answer to this question is:

#9 Norway Bay.

Hmmmm, sounds like I am actually going to have to play Falcon Ridge to see for myself.... If I hate it, I will just go play the slots and be even more miserable!

#12 Canadian West - The one with the 135* dog-leg

[Nat Williams]

One more for the list ...

Rideau Glen ...

oh, and if I had to pick just one hole it would be #14...Par 4's that can be hit with a 8 iron are bad design.

how about the horse shoe green at glenmar? It just doesn't make sense to me (I think its the 18th). I drove the green once (wind at my back)... I was soooo happy. Over the small stream, if you can call it that, bounced once and onto the right side bottom of the green... I get there and the hole is cut on the left side of the green and here was a bunker between me and the hole. I was going to putt it up the bend of the horse shoe and then putt down to the hole but figured what a waste of a great drive and a waste of one shot and at the time I was going for my personal best (had never shot in the 80s at that time), so I decided...I'm going to go chip it over the bunker. I hit it pretty thin and ended up in the sand trap beacuse I didn't want to go over the green either. Then, in the bunker, not wanting to hit it to hard and go over the green I take a half ass swing at it and it stays in the bunker. Then, I hit it hard enough to get out and it flies over the green and into the grass. So from there I pitch it back on about 15 feet from the cub and two put for a 7 on a hole I should have been putting for eagle on. All I needed to do was do was shoot par for a 88 ended up with a 91...

[Daft_driver]

#17 at Outaouais. Any teebox consisting of astro-turf, is an utter embarassment.

Word...

[Paulio]

It has already been said, Chateau Cartier, #17

[Dunny]

I vote # 4 at nationview, stupidist hole I've ever played

[faldo]

Sorry nothing comes close to #10 at Falcon Ridge

[whatsup]

Any hole with a blind approach shot. Does not make sense.

#12 Canadian West - The one with the 135* dog-leg

really? I love that hole.

For me, it might be number 10 ( i believe), at Chateu Cartier. nice dog leg left with some water, the greens up the hill. The green is about 10 yards deep, tops, so anything long ends up in the woods. It's such an elevation change, that it's next to impossible to hit anything that will actually come down and stick. Ruins a perfectly nice hole.

I've played Falconridge a few times,someone refresh my memory.
Whats wrong with #10?
I'm not a big fan of #18!

I think it's a very challenging hole but I can't say it's that bad. No water, no sand, open on the left. The only thing you have to deal with is the slope and the size of the green. Now talk about the 10th. Water on the left, cart path and out of bounds on the right. 2nd shot to a slope(similar to 17Th) green the size of a pea with trees in the back.Hard to read green Get out of 10th with a par and say thank you Lord

I have a friend who says, with some justification, that I've never "met" a golf course that I didn't like. That's generally true. So you can imagine that I don't enjoy dissing any course. Howerver, for the 10th hole at Falcon Ridge I'll make an exception. It may be that some will find joy and pleasure in its design. For my part, I find it nearly unplayable in the middle of summer. There is really no suitable place to land a tee shot and the tee shot on that hole is critical. Lest anyone think that I have never been able to par this hole, I have. In fact, I've birdied at least once through sheer luck. All that notwithstanding, I still think that the hole deserves an unequivocal thumbs down.

I'm in the same boat. I've played it before, but I can't picture the hole. Checked out the feature courses, looked at the hole, and still deosn't really ring any bells. It seems pretty unanimous that nobody likes it...what's wrong with it? Is the dogleg too far up so that you can't get a tee shot far enough to get a shot at the green?
