Best 3 hole stretch name.
I can only think of Amen Corner and Bear Trap. Are there others?

This won’t count, because it’s not a tour course, but at my previous home course the last three holes were particularly brutal. Lots of water, nasty kicks, wind, and lost balls. We called that stretch the Bermuda Triangle.
Later we found out the high school team that played there every day called it the devil’s crotch.

Yeah I had to look some up.
Nothing touches Amen Corner though.

Snake pit, green mile, the horrible horse shoe.. amen corner.. I am sure there are
More. I think the Detroit course is called the 2,3,2 or something like that.
Have played a course with that description

If holes 6, 7 and 8 at Pebble had a name that would be my pick. Apparently 'golf experts' say 8, 9 and 10. But for my money that Par 5, Par 3, Par 4 stretch of the holes I selected is just absolutely phenomenal.

I honestly wouldn’t have been able to name anything other than amen corner.
The Guantlet might be the hardest and they are all great holes.

There is an oasis course in southern Nevada. Guessing this isn’t it but it is an awesome course.

THE Oasis.
The Gauntlet at Victoria National, but I believe that’s a 4 hole stretch.

Ah…
I played once at a club that had a predominantly Jewish membership. They had a nickname for a tough stretch of holes: Oy Vey Corner
