As much as we love to complain about municipal courses, it’s hard to deny that the slower greens, open fairways, and lack of green-side bunkers helps our scoring. But what about the hardest golf holes in the world? The ones that give the pros trouble – 500+ yard par 4s, par 3s that require fairway woods off the tea, runaway greens everywhere.
