The 10 best holes in Great Britain and Ireland
16th, Aberdovey
Par 4, 288 yards
Aberdovey starts and ends like a GB&I top-10 course and this is part of the stellar climax.
And it’s a sporty par 4, which is my favourite sort of hole – as it clearly should be everyone’s.
Your tee shot is hit tight to the railway line on the left, but what will you hit? A 4-iron into the narrow fairway to leave a wedged approach, or as much as you’ve got and hope your ball bounds over the humps and hollows and on to the small green?
The railway hugs the green on the left and there is a gully on that side too, so even with a wedge in hand it is a precarious shot. My idea of an entertaining hole.
