Great golf holes - 3rd at Windsor Park GC, Japan

They may not be the most aesthetically scalloped bunkers in golf but this mid-fairway spine of hazards makes the third at Windsor Park Golf Club a challenge from the start.

Too many par-5s comprise a dull, two-shot slog before an interesting approach. Here, however, you either aim between the jaws of the two lines of bunkers guarding the right side of the fairway, your reward being to open up the green for your second, or you play comparatively safely down the left.

The longer hitters then have the option of playing well short of the green or else getting as close as they can but having to aim for a much narrower fairway.
