Here are the holes I would put on:
Bethpage: Hole 14 (only hole classified as an "easy" hole)
Kiawah: Hole 1, 3, 7, 8, 11
St. Andrews: Hole 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 16
Congressional: Hole 6, 7, 8
St. George's: Hole 7, 12, 16
Par for the course would be 73.
This list is still very tier specific. Some holes that are 'easy' at one tier become pretty tough at another.
I think that ICON posted that Kiawah #2 has the highest over par rating of all holes, something like 5.7 and I could consider that hole very easy, not as easy as 11 but not much less. I would consider Kiawah1 the easier hole on that course.

Yes, I agree. I'm trying to remember back in time at what the easiest holes were. I shall return with a bit more thinking...lol
I can understand people thinking that a Best of Easy course, will be easy causing Averages to drop, but with the Legends Teeing off the Whites/Blues now... I don't think It will matter....lol.
Besides an Easy/Fun course will be good too, just to get the confidence back when your in a bad patch.
I agree, be nice to see the easiest, hardest, par 3 course, par 5 course, etc. Of course they probably shouldn't count toward average but it would be a new distraction that would be nice.
I didn't think too much about the easiest holes when I commented above, but the 3 easily driveable par four's at St Andrews, 9 10 and 12 probably should be on the list, once again the tier is important, especially for 12. From the Legend tees, those traps really can be nasty and difficult to navigate around.

TomsFan - What about the easiest hole in all of WGT-dom; #1 @ Andy's? Well, let's say highest birdie % in general. Gotta be at the top in that regard. Well, Ok, if the flag is up front, which it is more often than not.
9th at St A has to be easiest hole - at any tier? Puttable eagle opp even from black tees if wind right - you have to chip in on the 1st. That's as long as you didn't get the yips and throw it into the fescue lol. Happy hitting.

I agree for sure, 9th at St.A is easy from any Tee. Actually, now that allot of people have got high level clubs, some of the shorter holes can be very tricky.
Wouldn't it be great if we could include Cabo in. 2nd,3rd and 4th. on Cabo comes to mind straight away, with 3 Eagle chances....lol.
Easiest IMO, in this order:
St Andrews #1, #9, #10
Kiawah #1, #11
Beth Page Black #1
St Andrews #1 truly is dependent on pin location and, of course, wind direction/intensity, but overall it still a birdie hole.
yea i would start the course as...
1st hole ..... kiawah hole 1 par 4
2nd hole..... st andys hole 1 par 4
3rd hole..... bethpage hole 1 par 4
4th hole..... kiawah hole 2 par 5
5th hole..... bethpage hole 4 par 5
6th hole..... st andys hole 9 par 4
7th hole.....oakmont hole 17 par 4
8th hole.....congressional hole 1 par 4
9th hole....kiawah hole 17 par 3
mmikkeelee: yea i would start the course as... 1st hole ..... kiawah hole 1 par 4 2nd hole..... st andys hole 1 par 4 3rd hole..... bethpage hole 1 par 4 4th hole..... kiawah hole 2 par 5 5th hole..... bethpage hole 4 par 5 6th hole..... st andys hole 9 par 4 7th hole.....oakmont hole 17 par 4 8th hole.....congressional hole 1 par 4 9th hole....kiawah hole 17 par 3
I'd replace the 9th hole with #8 at St Andys... #17 at Kiawah is not very easy at times.
