2007 Nationwide Tour: Lowest Rounds | Toughest Courses

Fast Facts:

The Nationwide Tour consisted of 612 different holes in 2007.

The toughest 10 holes were all par 4s. Not surprisingly, all of them were 418 yards or longer.

Because the top 10 toughest holes were all par-4s, only one eagle was made. It was made at the 487-yard ninth hole at the The Course at Wente Vineyards.

The hardest par-5 was the 11th at Empire Lakes (Mark Christopher Charity Classic Pres'd by County of San Bernardino). The hole, 611 yards long, played to a 5.122 average. Only two eagles were made. It ranked as the 174th hardest hole of the year.

The hardest par-3 was the 11th at the Cliffs at Walnut Coves (BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs). The hole, 246 yards long, played to a 3.405 average. Only six birdies were made. It ranked as the 11th hardest hole of the year.

Of the 30 hardest holes, 25 were par 4s, and five were par 3s.

Despite playing to a backbreaking yardage of over 7,700 yards, none of the holes at Kinderlou Forest Golf Club ranked in the top 30.
