Par 5 forced layups off the tee are annoying. And gimmicky. Then having to carry said hazard 150 while threading bunkers and trees and the like.A 600 yd par 5 that you cannot hit driver on. Welcome to my home course #1. No chance in hell of getting on in two unless you can carry the ball 360 due to a hazard.
What's odd, most of the par 5s at my home course are awfully unreachable in two. I do think long holes with forced layups on the tee are gimmicky. 3 shot par 5s, not gimmicky without further examination.A 600 yd par 5 that you cannot hit driver on. Welcome to my home course #1.

Yes it is... then #14 at my course is almost as bad. 580 yd par 5. First, have no idea where to hit to unless you are told the first time. Then there's a bunker at about 240 and behind it the fw severely narrows and slopes hard left. To get a tee ball in play behind the bunker requires a 270 carry and hitting about a 10 yds wide fw. But to hit that, you need to land the ball about 30 yds right where it will kick left. I've hit that tee shot so many times and thought it was perfect and got the eject left down into hazard... so now I hit 3i, 7i and wedge every timePar 5 forced layups off the tee are annoying.

I don't mind holes that are really risk/reward. I just don't like holes where I don't have the choiceWhat's odd, most of the par 5s at my home course are awfully unreachable in two.

Par 5s where your first shot is a forced layup are gimmicky.
What constitutes a 'gimmicky' hole to you?
Par doesn't matter. Share each if you find it different.
I've only played a few of them, but extra ordinary elevation drops, there's a par 3 at Honey Creek we played for an Iowa event, such a drastic drop off, seemed unnecessary.
I would agree with this, there is a course around here that has a Par 3 that the drop off is so steep you can't see the green from the tee box, any of the sets of tees.
The same course has a par 6 that is super gimmicky as well.
Ummm which hole is that again at Brandywine?
You know your favorite hole in Ohio?
Pw, Pw, Pw, 7iron into green?

What course has that par 3? That's terrible.
