HOLE 7 : WALES , Royal Porthcawl , 122 yards . The shortest hole on this traditional links is the 7th - Royal Porthcawl ’ s answer to Royal Troon ’ s Postage Stamp . While the hole is short in stature , it is also treacherous with a narrow entrance to an equally narrow putting surface well-guarded by small hillocks and a necklace of six pot bunkers . Land in one of these and making par will be far from easy . www . royalporthcawl . com
HOLE 10 : ENGLAND , Hillside , 172 yards . Lying a stone ’ s throw from Royal Birkdale , amid a stretch of sandhills on the outskirts of Southport on England ’ s Golf Coast , Hillside ’ s explosive back nine features a series of holes that will linger long in the mind after playing . Taking you up and into the dunes , the short , yet testing par-3 10th , surrounded by devilishly deep pot bunkers starts the memorable run for home . www . hillside-golfclub . co . uk
