Hey pals!
So, because we all love lists/rankings and are bored, what were your favorite holes (by hole #) from the competition? Thought it would be fun to assemble a composite course, just for shits and giggles!
I'll update this post with everyone's nominations. No nominating your own course you egotistical maniacs.
Multiple holes can be nominated for each number, most nominations wins that hole?
Trying to make it a par 72 would be tough, so no stipulation on numbers of par 3s, 4s, 5s.
#1 - Camino Del Mar, Babylon
#2 - South Yarra, Bryn Awelon
#3 - Yoho River, Carbondale
#4 - Walking Stick, Bryn Awelon, Port Melbourne
#5 - Carbondale (2)
#6 - Lost Preserve, Cape Canary
#7 - Port Melbourne, Ballyhoo
#8 - Yoho River (3), Ballyhoo
#9 - Merced Municipal, Ballyhoo
#10 - Lost Preserve (2), South Yarra
#11 - Lost Preserve, El Dorado
#12 - Camino Del Mar
#13 - Old Sunset Field
#14 - Springbrook
#15 - Cape Ari, Monterey Dunes
#16 - Bayou Bon Temps, Knobb's Creek
#17 - Springbrook (2), Monterey Dunes
#18 - Merced Municipal (2)
Have atter! You don't have to be in the contest to nominate your favorite holes!

7-8-9 at Balllyhoo for best three hole stretch. Need to go back through more courses but those three holes are all world.

Really fun idea. Looking forward to how this ends up.
A few off the top of my head that haven't been mentioned;
1 @ Camino Del Mar
8 @ Yoho River
9 @ Merced Municipal
edit- Just realized, not even sure if I'm supposed to be commenting since I'm not a participant in the contest. If not, oh well. Just giving a shoutout to a few of my favorite holes. 10 @ Lost Preserve is a great shout for 10. Might be my favorite look off the tee in the contest.

18 @ Merced comes to mind for the best finishing hole but that's probably because it kicks my ass every time no matter what I try. Job well done mayday_golf83 |

What about #8 at Yoho River? For me that was the best par three of the contest. I'd also give a mention to #11 at Lost Preserve (best blind tee shot of the whole contest) and the stupidly good Port Melbourne's 7th. But there's too many to pick from.

Just want to be clear for updating the thread Yes I'll nominate: 1 -Gardens of Babylon...not my favorite first hole nor my favorite Babylon hole...but when you step on the tee you're smacked in the face with "WHOA where am I?" 2 - South Yarra, Bryn Awelon 3 - Yoho River 4 - Walking Stick, Bryn Awelon 5 - Carbondale 6 - Lost Preserve 7 - Ballyhoo 8 - Ballyhoo 9 - Ballyhoo 10 - Lost Preserve 11 - El Dorado 12 - Camino del Mar 13 - Old Sunset Field 14 - Springbrook 15 - Cape Ari 16 - Knob's Creek 17 - Monterey Dunes 18 - Merced I probably have 20 more holes I want to nominate for my composite course (as in most of Lost Preserve, Bryn, Old Sunset, Yarra and Carbondale) but tried to spread the love around as best I could with giving 3 nods to Ballyhoo. |

1 -Gardens of Babylon...not my favorite first hole nor my favorite Babylon hole...but when you step on the tee you're smacked in the face with "WHOA where am I?" I'm pretty sure that's not the first time someone uttered those words following a night with gamesdecent |

I'll also throw a few in here that come to mind.
8 at Yoho is a masterpiece
4 at Port Melbourne, absolutely love this tee shot
10 at South Yarra is one of my favourite short 4's ever
6 at Cape Canary looks great, plays great
15 at Monterey this hole just sticks out to me as one of the most memorable holes in the entire contest. looks absolutely jawdropping as well.
17 at Springbrook not usually a fan of template courses but hitting driver off the deck and rolling up for an eagle putt left a massive grin on my face
3 at Carbondale this is such a good view of the plot of the tee followed by an absolute roller coaster of a hole.
Lost Preserve has way too many good holes to pick from so I would just say fill in whatever gaps you have leftover with some of those.
Honourable mention to 10 at Camino for being the first biarritz I've ever actually enjoyed playing.
