[6] [7] [8] Holes-in-one most commonly occur on par 3 holes, the shortest distance holes on a standard size golf course. Longer ...
The most popular location for spectators is the par-3 16th hole, nicknamed "The Coliseum." ( 33°38′N 111°55′W / 33.64°N 111.91°W / 33.64; -111.91 ) One of the shortest holes on tour at 162 yards (148 m), it is enclosed by a temporary 20,000-seat grandstand
