IAmAFan Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Kenton Station has a 250 yard par 4 that's straight with a flat green. It's hard not to par. Pendleton has 2 holes that are bears. 13 is 220 across water. If you go right of the green the hill drops straight down into woods, short you're in the water, and left the lake drops back some so left means wet. It's lateral, but from the tips it's where it crosses so if you "drink" it you retee. 2 is 620 par 5 across roling hills that slope to the left. Ont he right is OOB. YOu have to drive up the right side of the fairway to end up in the left side of it. If you hit center you'll role to the rough, left of center gives you tree trouble, and any push is out of bounds. The green is elevated so it's all carry to the green.
ladiesbballcoach Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Both Pendleton holes are bears. Kincaid is definitely #4. Drive is to the valley and 2nd shot is straight up hill. IMAFAN, Take the hill going up to #9 at Pendleton and triple it. Flagg Springs is #13. Straight up hill with a very small landing area for your drive. Right of that minimal landing area are a bunch of trips. Left is straight downhill and too far is a lake. Hill on the left and right of the green. Green is sloped and fast. Last summer, my daughter played there for 7up. We played a practice round and putting around the green. I was 10 feet from the hole and literally brought my putter back an inch and followed through about 3 inches. Ball went past the hole, ran another 30 feet on the green and then 10 feet OFF the green. We practice some chips about a yard off the green and 15 feet from the hole. Had one that if you aimed at the hole, chipped it perfect speed but did not make it, you would end up 50 feet from the hole and off the green. You HAD to chip 20 feet above the hole and let it roll down to the hole. NO WAY to stop it below the hole. It got below the hole and it was going off the green. #4 at Pendleton is an easy par 4. Drive should put you to an easy wedge. Control the wedge and you can be close the green. Just watch for the wild turkeys out of bounds on the right and munching on the hayfield.
EQUUS GREVYI Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 AJ Jolly has both, #4 is about as easy a par as can be found. Driveable green that is angled to catch all incoming approach shots. No protection on the front of green so pitch and run approach shots are a gimme par. #16 is the complete opposite. 424 yard (from white) par 4. This usually leaves a 180 yd approach shot to an elevated, undulating green. No gimme putts from any distance on this green.

My dad shot a 71 there with a 4 or 5 putt on that green. It needs fixed, but it would still be a good hole. A good drive on 4 for me sometimes ends up in the creek past the green. I've put a bunch on 4 and around it though. Never hit the eagle putt.

STRIKE3 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Lavalette in WV, has a Par 6....I'm still trying to reach it, in two....
kygirl Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Eagle Ridge in Louisa #13, par 4, plays from a 200 foot elevation to the green. Its surrounded by rock outcropping and a creek. If you get a good hit off the tee you can par easily if not you're doomed. Hidden Cove in Grayson #9, par 5, demands precise shots. Its a long one-around 647 yards.
NobizLikeShowbiz Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Triple Crown #4. Long par 4, huge lake in front of the green. The green has ZERO depth. From the tips you are coming in with 5 or 6 iron it seems like, and the ball is normally below your feet, tough hole. Kearney Hills # 13 (i think) Dogleg right par 4, deep bunkers just to the right of the fairway, massive green, yet very tricky. Usually coming in with a long iron. Boone Links #10, very difficult par 3, straight uphill, about 220 yards. IMO one of the toughest par 3's in NKY. Boone Links # 1 is very easy IMO. Straight away par 5 reachable in 2. Not much trouble, great way to get your round started off well, with a birdie!

Belfry Wins Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Lavalette in WV, has a Par 6....I'm still trying to reach it, in two.... I got a friend who did and made the put for double eagle no joke. He can kill a ball though, one of the best ball strikers I have seen when straight and that day it was all straight. I forget how long it is its like 6something but up hill.

The long par 5 is #16. I think #18 at Hidden Cove is a beast as well.
jahearme Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 #1 at Griffin Gate has always been an easy par 5 as long as you hit your tee shot in play.
IAmAFan Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 I got it on in two there this past summer in their invitational!!!:ylsuper: Great hole. From the yellow in the back? You're the first I've heard do to it then. I've been on the hill in front of the green in two.
