HOLE 11: PAR-3, 180 METRES – ASKERNISH GOLF CLUB, SCOTLAND

-

Remote Askernish Golf Club was first laid out by “Old” Tom Morris on the Hebridean island of South Uist in 1891, and in recent years has been unearthed and restored to its former glory. One of several memorable holes, the long par-3, called Barra Sight, looks as if it could only be reached using rock-climbing gear. Played over a deep gully and directly into a sea wind, when you stand on the tee it seems as though you are hitting straight into the Atlantic Ocean – too much of a slice and you are. +44 1878 700 628; www.askernishg­olfclub.com
