Most holes. The lies are often uneven (I crushed my drives on #9 and #16, and both left me with sidehill/downhill fairway lies that I simply lack the skills to overcome, given the precision required for the approach shots), the approaches to greens need to be precise, and you need to choose your target carefully on the green, or you're in 3 putt territory. There are a lot of blind shots and a lot of visually intimidating shots. #17 with a back left pin placement is something you need to see to appreciate. You're hitting from 190 to 200 yards to a green 15 yards deep where you need to carry a bunker. Go left or long, and you're ball is in the Pacific. Go right and you have an impossible 2 putt if you happen to catch the right side of the green.
