Are there any cool Hogs (back holes) out there?
The Greenbrier Old White, 2nd
It’s always fun to include a template that we’ve watched the professionals play. The second hole at the Greenbriar Old White course does just that. The fairway has a spine that runs down the middle forcing tee shots left or right. The best angle into this green is from the right side of the fairway, which plays up against a creek at times. If you miss just a little left of the ridge, your ball will get kicked further in that direction, making your approach angle worse and worse.
National Golf Links of America, 5th
As always, National Golf Links features another C.B. Macdonald beauty. This time we check out the 5th hole, aptly named “Hog’s back,” which plays a fairly long 478 yards from the back. Following up the famous redan par-3 the hole before, this one still finds a way to hold its own. Originally a par-5, this hole is now a deeply challenging par-4. You must first hit over a cross bunker, and the hogsback fairway sits right on the other side ready to disperse balls in both directions. The fairway eventually slopes down toward the green to allow for running approach shots from the shorter hitter.
Old Macdonald, 4th
Tom Doak put his own spin on many of the best template holes at Old Macdonald. He inserted his “Hog’s back,” hole early in the round as the fourth hole. The tee shot plays to a spine that kicks down on either side. Of the drive, Doak says, “a perfect drive will either stay up or kick forward for extra yardage, but anything less will kick away to the side, leaving a very long second shot down the valley toward the green.” At 504 yards from the tips, this hole is one of the most challenging on the course.
Blue Mound, 12th
Seth Raynor built a long and tough Hog’s back hole for the 12th at Blue Mound, playing 480 yards. The hole moves to the left around a pond and some bunkers guarding the left side of the fairway. Finding the fairway is essential as the green is also heavily guarded by bunkers. Hitting a great drive to the top of the Hog’s back fairway can you give you a significant advantage over your opponents, even if they are only in your head.
