My opinion would be a 300. One reason is no way to block a golf course. Mother nature can have her way with even the easiest par 3. Second, even pro golfers have no where near the amount of aces that even above average (not even the pros) bowlers have in 300's. I personally know people who bowl at a blocked house where they have high averages and a couple of 300's and have watched them struggle first handed in a lane without a block pattern. So my vote goes to it's easier to bowl a 300.

I have a 7.2 handicap in golf-----have hit the flag several times on par 3s and even destroyed almost 1/3 of a cup on the fly, but no hole in one yet.
 I've averaged 203 to as high as 207 recently,but am down this year to 195 and have 6 300s to my credit with another in parctice(which I know doesn't count).  Go figure...................

You can find the exact odds of performing each feat somewhere online, I just don're remember where. I know that they put the odds of a hole-in-one as being much more difficult than bowling 300. The main reason is because their are so many variables (distance, wind, hardness or softness of greens, etc) involved in a hole-in-one. I still think it's a bit overblown, however, as I know some terrible golfers who have found a way to snake in an ace. Then again, I also know some crappy bowlers who have brooklyned, and nosed their way to 300, so go figure. For me, I still think that bowling 300, for most people, is much more difficult because you have to find a way to get the job done 12 times in a row. Plus, who steps up to the tee thinking "alright, I'm going to knock this sucker in the cup"? Bowlers, on the other hand, certainly know what's at stake as their string of strikes grows. Like I said, knocking in a hole-in-one is a remarkable accomplishment, but, for me, finding a way to succeed 12 times in a row is harder, even on easy conditions, than it is to find a way to get one shot to go in. Hopefully, I'll shoot about a dozen 300s in the next few years and then I'll change my tune.

I can't bowl 300, but I can bench 310 : )

I would have to say that a hole in one is easier, only because it is mostly pure luck.  There is no repetition involved.  There is just one shot, and there can be many ways to go.  You can hit a dribbler up to the green and have it roll in, or put it just in front or behind, drop it right in the hole, etc.  It requires skill (although I have one, and I suck at golf) but it only occurs once.  

Now with a 300, you have to make a good shot 12 times in a row.  Plus factor in making a great shot with a bad break, such as a stone 8 pin or a pin just off spot not reacting properly.  About the only way you can make a bad shot is on a brooklyn hit.  I do not have a 300 yet, but when I'm going with the first 6 you naturally begin to wonder what if.  In golf, Im just hoping to hit the green, and get somewhere close is a bonus.

D <~~~~ Used to be terrible wiffing 10 pins.  Now through much practice, can wiff any single pin spare at any time.

I say,, lets create greens that look like a funnel whereby if the ball lands on the green and the ball a pathed toward the hole everytime. And create all fairways that are concaved toward the center and always down hill so shots that are short are urged to roll onto the greens. Lets see what happens to the ratio of 300 vs. holes in one. And lets make the golf balls heavier on one side so that it can build momentum and roll longer.

Lets just see how easy we can make golf, I mean we have the technology. Isnt that what has happened to bowling? What do you think would happen to the "sport" of golf?
