The Most Difficult Par 3s England
By: Golfshake Editor | Thu 23 Jul 2020
Everyone loves a memorable short hole, those beguiling, unfailingly tricky designs that are deceptively alluring, betraying that they are rife with danger. Whether it be the 12th at Augusta National, 7th at Pebble Beach, or the 8th at Royal Troon, these par 3s have become iconic and are considered legend within the game.
But most golf courses have that one potential card-wrecker, the lesser known holes that are navigated daily by the Golfshake Community. We wanted to discover the par 3s that give our golfers nightmares, and the only way to find them was to delve into the Golfshake Score Tracker, uncovering 20 of the Toughest Par 3s in England.
Looking at rounds tracked in 2020 from golfers with a handicap between 4 and 23 who shot scores ranging from 70 to 110, each of these holes required at least 30 tracked rounds to be considered for this feature.
