So I intended Hole 12 to be the signature hole, but Tony had the bright idea to extend 13. His vision was golden.

Langley Pond: I can't really name a favorite because this course is just a beat down every time I go and play...but it's gorgeous and difficult and perfect.
I don't know the number, but there's a hole on the back nine that is one of he most adventurous I've played. It tees over water; on the far side are two fairway options cut through the woods, but going up a big hill. Over the hill, the fairway dips down a little and then back up---a saddle, of sorts---bending right, as I recall---and the woods on the left open up to be atop a cliff over the lake. Or where the lake will be, when it fills, so it's oblivion for discs fading left. Then it continues back in the woods for a while, to a basket on a cool wooded green. By the time you hole out, all sorts of things may have happened.
I'm not as big a Langley Pond fan as some, but that's quite a hole. I think of it as more of a signature hole than the fishhook-shaped one with the basket set between two trees, that they use on their logo.
Big RH backhand roller.You could probably also argue hole 18 is the signature as the hugeeeee top of the world shot but I feel like the OB comes into play a bit too much for it to really be a solid bomber shot.
Still my favorite thread of all time. I wonder what happened to that hole...."a hole on the 8th fairway"...
...has got to be the most famous hole on DGCR, even if it's not the best
Big RH backhand roller.
I tried a few and got one past the pin about 50 feet. But you have to miss the small trees in the landing area.Considering it's probably 100-150 feet from the tee down to the ground, that'd be one gigantic roller
It's hard enough to name a "best course". How to sort out a "best hole"?
Unlike a course, it's hard to have variety, though I can think of one that has elevation, open area, tight wooded, O.B., scenic beauty, scoring spread, a low-ceiling drive, and a dangerous green, rolled into one. Not particularly roller-friendly, nor lefty/righty balanced, though.
But not the cool-factor that top-of-the-world shots, true island holes (an island green surrounded by water), or holes with truly unique features have. When I think of "best holes", I tend to drift towards "favorite holes", and it's these unique ones that come to mind.
Would that be Hole 16 at Hyzer Creek? It's a 461' Par 5 but the pics don't do it justice. I only played it twice but I did par and birdie it but both of my drives were absolutely perfect, plus it was the end hole for me for round 1 of this years April Showers tournament. It could also be 12 though.
