  I think Pinehurst is the hardest course aside from Bethpage Black. It is by far the toughest closest to the hole challenge course for sure. What do you guys think?

  Hmm, I actually think Pinehurst is one of the easier CTTH, but that's just my opinion. As far as stroke play goes, Bethpage is child's play compared to Oakmont..for me anyway.

  Oakmont pales in comparison to bethpage. I find it hard to reach some of the par fours in three shots - thus making par an excellent round for me. But apart from bethpage, oakmont is the hardest.

  That's a loaded question. It has to be stated what winds, putting surface, type of play. I generally think that Oakmont in harder than BP. But, that's just me

  BPB is extremely hard at first, but if you learn how to play it and polish your short-game, it becomes rather easy:  BPB F9 and B9 are almost as easy as STA F9 and KIA B9 for me.  Although I shot a 30 on STA B9 recently, I find STA B9 and KIA F9 to be the hardest set of nine holes in the three RG courses... much harder than the front and back of BPB.

  I haven't played any of the courses other than STA, KIA, BPB, and Oakmont, but I'd say out of those choices, Oakmont is the hardest course in general.

  I mostly play ready gos and my answer would be Kiawah Front Nine from the legend tees.  It is by far the hardest out of the 9 ready gos available!

  Cheers

  My opinion is that in the CTTH games Celtic Manner is the hardest. Not sure exactly why. Just seem to never to be able to keep the ball within 20ft of the pin and on a few holes I never seem to keep the ball on the green. The easiest CTTH course I think is Wolf Creek. Now if we are talking stroke play I think BPB is  one of the easier courses. Oakmont is the toughest. For me anyway. I can count on one hand how many times I have shot under par.

  That's because a lot of the distances are wrong.
