Help Us Pick the Golf Course with the Most Intimidating Drives

You aren't able to hit the links as often as you would like, and there are just some courses you know to avoid because those drives? They get you every time. Which courses offer the most intimidating drives?

 

You're standing on the first tee. You didn't get in quite as many practice shots as you would have liked. Ahead, you see nothing but treelines and bunkers on both sides of the fairway. All you can hope is that the ball flies straight and you don't slice into a bunker or hook into the woods.

When it comes to playing a round, golf courses in the Southland range in difficulty from "I got this," to "How in the heck...?" Your favorite courses offer the perfect mix of straight shots and tough doglegs, but Patch wants to know which course's drives leave you holding your breath after the ball leaves the tee?

Which course offers the most intimidating drives around?

  1. First, cast a vote for your favorite in our poll.Voting ends Friday, June 1.

I would second guess this poll because very few people voting have had a chance to play Crystal Tree or Calumet country club. I have played George Dunne quite a few times and I could name a minimum of 5 other course tougher off the tee.
