Hole No. 10
Merion (East)
Ardmore, Pennsylvania
16th hole; par 4, 430 yards
Known since its inception as the "Quarry Hole," this legendary two-shotter begins our incoming nine on the Dream 18. Roughly 300 yards from the tee, the sunken fairway stops cold at an old limestone quarry. This vast pit is choked with impenetrable scotch broom, wild sand splashes and gnarled rough. For those who can't handle the carry, a fishhook-shaped sliver of fairway allows passage to the right. The sprawling green features a lower tier, raised up some 50 feet above the quarry, and a huge upper tier where the pin is most often placed.
