Woodington Lakes (old course) collectively has the most boring, uninspiring set of Par 3's out of any course I can think of -is there any worse out there?

It's been a while since I played Woodington Lakes although I don't remember them being boring. However, to answer your question, I find the par 3's @ Rattlesnake Point very boring and unimaginative. All of them are around the same yardage an require a carry over waste areas.

Kettle Creek.
As much as I credit it for improving my iron play, it really is a boring executive course.

I'm not on the Woodington payroll but have 10 rounds there. The par 3's are varied: short over water, uphill over a ravine, over a waste bunker. I've experienced much less. Unless your looking to bulldoze and knock things down the land dictates the holes, no?

I actually think that #3 and #6 are really challenging...#3 is over water to a green that isnt that deep...miss short....water....miss long...chipping downhill

#6 is a long one...cant miss left...and miss right and your in a bunker below the green....
The Par 3s on the back nine are boring though.

I enjoyed the Par 3s on the new course though

OK , maybe the fact I got there on Sunday and was supposed to tee off at 2 on the newcourse then was told they were out of carts (not the kind of course you want to walk if you're hung over and out of shape at 7600 yards) had to wait around for 45 minutes then was told -do you mind playing the old course? the boss is having a tournament for his friends and are in front of you (even though we booked two weeks ago and they booked last minute) then as a result of the delay for the last 4 holes were caught in a downpour and invented "cardio golf" along the way (hit your ball -run to your cart-run to your ball etc)... had something to do with the post -but I still dont like them par 3's -agreed more so on the back than the front

Actually, you don't really need a power cart for the New Course as much as the Old Course, except to get to the 1st Tee, and back to the clubhouse!
(mind you, if it's not busy, play the Old 18th on the way in!!) ;)
