The 10th at Winged Foot West is a formidable par-3 stretching over 190 yards to a well-guarded green. Deep bunkers surround every approach angle, demanding precise club selection and flawless execution. The green’s subtle slopes and tiers punish anything less than perfect, making par a true achievement. This hole epitomizes Winged Foot’s unforgiving nature.

The iconic 17th at Royal Troon, known as “Rabbit,” presents one of golf’s most celebrated short holes, where championship dreams hang in the balance. This deceptively challenging par-3 demands pinpoint accuracy over deep bunkers to a narrow green that has humbled the world’s best players. Together, hole and clubhouse create an unforgettable setting where Open Championship legends are forged and golfing immortality is achieved.

The 18th hole at Muirfield Village is a par-4 that serves as a thrilling conclusion to Jack Nicklaus’s masterpiece. The tee shot demands both power and precision. The approach shot is no less dramatic, as the green is elevated and protected by water on the left and bunkers on the right, requiring pinpoint accuracy. The green itself is undulating and fast, testing even the steadiest nerves.

The year 1958 was eventful at the Masters Tournament.

And Amen Corner was born.

Actually, the famous stretch of golf holes — Nos. 11, 12 and 13 at Augusta National Golf Club — had been in existence for 25 years.

But a catchy nickname for the three holes didn’t exist until Herbert Warren Wind, the golf writer for Sports Illustrated, came up with the term to describe the action in 1958.
