All hole-in-ones are incredible, but not every ace is created equally.
There are a handful of par 3s in the United States that stand a notch above the rest: No. 12 at Augusta National, No. 7 at Pebble Beach, No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass and the famed 16th at Cypress Point in Pebble Beach, California, are a few that come to mind.
Even among the elite par 3s, No. 16 at Cypress stands out. The others mentioned above are famous, phenomenal holes, but the level of difficulty doesn’t compare to the 233-yard par 3 at Cypress Point, where the green is seemingly on a different piece of property as you overlook the Pacific Ocean and listen to the waves crashing against the rocks.
