The 18th at Pebble Beach was a average par 4 until 200 yards were added to it, to make it one of the classic finishing holes.

3. We find a Par 3 that has evolved into a "stadium" hole. Where will you find the hole with the rowdiest fans on the PGA Tour?

Answer: 16th at TPC at Scottsdale

The 16th at TPC at Scottsdale has evolved into a "stadium" hole with bleachers and corporate boxes completely surrounding the hole. Players are cheered for good shots and booed for bad ones. In 1997, Tiger Woods aced the 16th during the FBR Open.

It is also known for accumulating, on average, twice as many "lost" balls as an entire golf course. With its famed island green, each year, on average, 120,000 balls are hit into the water at the 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

Answer: 16th at Cypress Point

Once in the rotation during the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, Cypress Point's #16 is one of the most difficult holes in the world. Many golfer have to use driver off the tee because of the winds off the Pacific and many choose to lay-up far to the left, rather than chance hitting into the ocean.

9. Where would you find the "Road Hole"?

Answer: 17th at St Andrews

So named because of the road running along the right side of the hole.

10. This hole is not the toughest, but is one of the most famous. On which hole do we find the Swilcan Bridge?

Answer: 18th at St Andrews

With the clubhouse in the background, this is a fitting end to our tour of great golf holes. The Swilcon Bridge crosses the Swilcan Burn which cuts across the first and 18th fairways, and provides the only water hazard on the Old Course.
