The Best 18 Holes in Golf

2. Cypress Point Club -- No. 16: Par 3, 231 yards -- Pebble Beach, Calif.
Golf's most beautiful brute is this Alister MacKenzie masterpiece that demands a 200-yard carry over the crashing waves of the Pacific -- a daunting feat on a calm day and a heroic achievement in the wind. A shorter route exists for the less adventurous, but if you've managed to score a tee time at ultra-exclusive Cypress, you owe it to yourself to have a go at this green.
