Interesting question

 

I tried to look up the length of a golf course The Milwaukee CC I played wet once and it played the longest but I could not find the yardage

 

Played the The Playboys club Brute at over 7000 yds

 

But all this was pre high tech no medalwoods no graphite no new balls

 

I played a 7200 yd course a few months back did not seem as long

 

So my answer is I do not know.

I played kinderlou forest (home town golf course in Valdosta GA) which is at 7800 yards it may be thelongest pga tour event ever I think, and anlter creek in colorado springs @ 8200 yard i think its the third longest in the US.

 

I'm a member of a 7400 yard course right now.

My undergrad stomping grounds:

 

Colbert Hills, Manhattan, KS

Black/Blue Tees (The Bruiser Tees) - 7525 yds.

Slope - 152

Rating - 77.5

 

- The name of the tees says it all. Panoramic vies of the surrounding prairie. Lot of fun. Number 70 or so on GD list of 100 toughest courses.

 

My grad stomping grounds:

 

Stow Acres, North Course

Black Tees - 7035

Slope - 131

Rating - 74.2

 

Good course and fairly challenging (the price is right too!). A fairly long course for the Boston area. Yet, The International is just down the road from this course and is the longest in the country. I've never played there though. I would love to try it out, though. Anyone want to extend the invitation??

Sevillano links in Corning, Ca. From the tips it plays just over 7800 yards and when the wind picks up it can feel more like 9000. The closing hole is a par 5 that is 686 yards long. O ya did i mention that John Daly was the course designer

I don't really keep track of how long a course I'm playing because I have yet to find a course dauntingly long. We'll see when I play Bethpage Black later this summer.

 

But one thing you need to keep in mind is the condition of the course and the difference between it's written yardage and playing yardage. I've played courses upwards

of 7,500 yards that were so firm and well-maintained that they played very short. At the same time, my local muni is only 6900 or so and plays so much longer becasue

the fairways are so slow and soft.

I have played courses longer in actuall yardage than THE DUNES in Myrtle Beach but this course is a monster. From the tips I think it is only like 7390 but every hole except one dog leg is just straight away,,,, rip it and go have between 190 to 220 left to a par 4. The course is just pure torturer every hole. Great golf course and I broke 80 the second time I played it by shooting 78 but I played my tail off. Alot of courses measure longer but have alot of doglegs where you can cut corners and save yardage,,, ,none of that going on here.

The International in Bolton MA. Played from the Tiger tees in the mid 90's and shot 78. Though I played quite well.

it is 8325 yards from the tips.

 

Course rating of 80.0 and slope of 154.

 

It was a really cool experience.

He said... "non Mountain courses". Antler Creek is in Peyton CO...elevation 6800 ft. Sevillano qualifies, I know it's in Nor Cal, but more in a plain area as pposed to the mountains.

Besides, There's at least one course on the RTJ Trail in Alabama that's longer than Purgatory... believe it's the Judge from their Capitol Hill links facility, 7794 yds if I remember right.

Last I played the Dunes it was 7100. Sure you're not thinking of the Grande Dunes?
