The 17th at Sawgrass is 130 yards but the landing area is tiny (15 to 20 yards) by tour standards. The green sits deceptively at only 3 feet above the water. This little par 3 has got to be the most costly hole in golf

The 16th at Scottsdale’s TPC is known as the “stadium” hole and can intimidate even the most confident golfer. The attendance usually tips the scales at 20,000 wild and woolly fans. Booze, boos and cheers flow as the golfers enter the amphitheatre. The 16th is what the game is all about, pure fun.
