Famous Three Holes Stretches

With the upcoming PGA Tour Event at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Golf Resort in Tampa Bay, Florida, I got to thinking about famous stretches of golf holes. Many courses have great stretches, but few have a name that conjures up both excitement and intimidation.

This week at Innisbrook, the Snake Pit is the feature stretch of golf. Not only are these three of the toughest holes on the course, but they are are the final three holes which means that the tournament could ultimately be decided by how well these holes are played.

Other courses with great stretches

The Bear Trap - Holes 15, 16, 17 

PGA National Resort and Spa Champion Course 

Honda Classic

The Green Mile - Holes 16, 17, 18 

Quail Hollow Club 

Wells Fargo Championship

The Horrible Horseshoe - Holes 3, 4, 5

Colonial Country Club

Crowne Plaza Invitational

Amen Corner - Holes 11, 12, 13

Augusta National Golf Club

The Masters

There are different holes at Wilderness Ridge Golf Club that can both intimidate and excite. Holes 17 and 18 are dramatic. Hole 14 is long, difficult, and has the signature island green. But the first four holes could be the toughest stretch on the course especially with the all too familiar south wind.

I have yet to come up with any names that could do justice to any stretch of holes at Wilderness Ridge. That part may be up to you.
