  Lots of good ones listed but the only hole I tee off thinking "just get a par" is Oakmont #9 with the front right pin.  BPB #15 I can birdie at least as often as I par.  The Road Hole is difficult with the back left pin but at least you have a shot at making the putt.  Oakmont #9 birdie usually means holing out from the fairway or front bunker/rough and putting on that hole is just nasty.  Cabo #18 and Whistler #12 are extremely harsh with Champ greens.

  Cabo 18 gets my vote. Its the only hole I've 5-putted on multiple occasions.

  Check reality. The PGA does not allow cups to be cut on areas of the green which require "strange" putts in order to hit the hole.  The "fair" area is about 3 feet, minimum, ranging up to about 10 feet.

  The PGA might not but the U.S.G.A. does and the U.S. Open courses we have  the pins are from the U.S. Open play.

  Yeah even a slight miss hit to the right side of the pin and you end up with a nasty uphill chip or pitch making it at least a automatic bogey.

  RSG #9 is not the easiest of holes but one can learn

  - to hit straight to the flag in favourable conditions (head- or tailwind),

  - to leave the shot left in unfavourable conditions and sometimes birdie through the upslope, from green front or back,

  - and to pitch up from the righthand rough for a custom par.

  9th at Oakmont. I five putted there the other day.

  The 9th at Oakmont is the hardest on WGT, nearly impossible to get close with the approach, and only to easy to at LEAST 3 putt. The 15th at BPB is tough but I would rather play this than the 9th at Oakmont

   

  I play for a par at this hole. I always lay up left of the bunker & on the fairway,  leaving a short full/flop shot to the pin. Can usually get that shot 1-4 ft for the par....no 3,4,5 putts from wild downhill/sideway shots for me........just my way for this hole
