Description
Golfimbul's Hole is the large goblin camp in the northwest Greenfields, north of Brockenborings in the Shire.
Several Hobbits from Brokenborings and Scary have reported seeing goblins in the Greenfields, and their reports turn out to be true. Gramsfoot Goblins from Mount Gram have never forgotten their defeat at the hands of the Shire-folk, and have established camps in the Greenfields to seek revenge. A goblin leader by the name of Lubach is under the sway of an evil Man from Angmar, and believes that he is the heir of legendary goblin chief Golfimbul. Lubach is holed up inside a cave system in Golfimbul's Hole.

Lore
Golfimbul's Hole takes it name from the legendary goblin leader, Chief Golfimbul. In 2747 of the Third Age, Chief Golfimbul lead a band of goblins from Mount Gram to invade the Northfarthing of the Shire. Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took lead a force of Hobbits against the invading goblins in what would become known as the Battle of the Greenfields.
During the Battle of the Greenfields, Bullroarer Took charged at Golfimbul and knocked Golfimbul's head off with a swing of his club. Golfimbul's head flew the air, then rolled into a rabbit hole. According to Hobbit legend, this is the birth of the game of golf.
