Pro Robert Mancill of Delaware National Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware, says the 592-yard par-5 third hole at Wilmington’s South Course is a “beautiful hole, but with water fronting the green, it is most importantly a hard hole.” And there’s some legend to go with it: The longest final played in U.S. Junior history happened there 30 years ago.

Doug Frazier, head pro at Newark Country Club in Newark, Delaware, says the 16th at Wilmington Country Club’s South Course-a Robert Trent Jones design-will not “yield a birdie without hitting two great shots.” It’s also the hole that Arnold Palmer had bet his caddie he could reach in two. Arnie lost when his approach to this 612-yard par 5 died in the fringe.
