Everyone always talks about great holes (myself included), but some holes flat out suck. Sometimes you can tell the course architect just ran out of room or simply made a mistake. So, in addition to figuring out what the best 18 holes in DFW are, I'm going to figure out what the worst 18 holes are too.
Frisco Lakes
Worst Par 3 - #5 (too long with no room for error of any kind)
Worst Par 4 - #16 (risk reward hole with no real chance of reward)
Worst Par 5 - #6 (nothing wrong with it, just had to pick one)
Overall Worst Hole - #16
The 16th was clearly intended to be a risk-reward par 4 with the opportunity to drive the green. The problem is they made the carry just a little too far for the avid golfer. The carry is probably 250 from the one-up tees which is just a little too much. Plus the hole never plays downwind. This hole would be great if you tee off towards the north and had that south wind helping you out occassionally. What could've been a great hole is just tricked up with an awkward tee shot. Granted it's not long or very difficult, but it is clearly not what the architect intended.
