My list

1. #11 at The Island, Water up the entire right side, OB left and two large fairway bunkers that will come into play for many players, raised multi tier green protected by bunkers on the left and right.

2. #14 @ Beaver, it requires a near perfect 220-230 yard tee shot to have a decent look. With trees running tight along the right side it feels like a lot of guys miss left and can leave a difficult approach.

3. #6 at CCL, short hole just nowhere to miss, if you miss this green getting up and down is a real accomplishment.

4. #17 at Carter, awkward distance for a lot of guys off the tee, need a 230-240 yd tee shot, miss right you're in the trees miss left your left with a long approach with water on the right and difficult chipping area left.

5. 15 at Uclub, short hole but trouble along the right fairway bunkers and a raised turtleback green protected by water on right/deep. Missing the green on this hole will leave a difficult up and down.

Honorable mentions:
18 @ Uclub
2,14 @ Webb
16 @ Carter
17 @ LSU
5 @ city park before it was redesigned into a par 3. It would be #1 on my list if it still existed.

What y'all got?

Pretty sure hole 6 at ccl is a par 3, but nice list nonetheless.

Legitimately #3 at City Park.

Tightest fairway in the state and the street left of the green on the approach is very much in play due to the slope. Bonus toughness for less-than-ideal conditions most days.

Depending on how you have the 9s at Carter, you have a par 5 or a par 3.

Just played Uclub for first time. 15th hole felt like goofy golf with the rise of the green

#11 at The Island for sure. Absolutely very few places you can miss on any shot. That being said, I parred that beast last week! A come on!

14 at Beaver is my nemesis hole. You have to hit a fade there with a fairway wood or hybrid, then will still have a mid iron in even with a perfect drive.

7 at City Park is pretty damn tough, although it got easier once they lost that furthest tree on the left. But that green is still smaller than my bedroom.

13 at Santa Maria can be sneaky tough with the water on the left that juts way out into the fairway, then if you're on the wrong level of the green, you can be boned.

10, 11 and even 12 (par 5) at the island- if your slice is working against you are hitting three off the tee box before you knows what hits you

13 at BRCC is a bear. Long, with a tricky green guarded with bunkers

I meant #7, but 8 is also a beast. I don't typically putt from more then 4 feet off the green but if i miss right, I'll putt from 12 feet off, missing left is even more difficult of an up and down.

#12 at CCL is a beast
#12 at Beaver isn’t that hard, but the tee box points straight OB and f’s with my head

#11 at The Island. Hard as shite to me. Tee shot, approach, getting up and down, everything about that hole is tough for my mediocre game

I agree most of the ones already mentioned, but how about #10 at Webb and #16 at Webb?

Both are very short, but both greens are really small and you don't want to ever end up on the backside of these green.

Also, on 10 you don't want to go left of center on your drive as it tends to run all the way onto the road, but if you go a little right of center then you have to get over the bunker on to that small green.

Both of these holes are either scoring or blowup holes. Very little in between.
