Longest drive you have ever hit?

[whiteout73]

All are about 15 or more years in the rearview mirror at this point, but - 

Unassisted - about 350

Cartpath/wind/downhill - 425

The "I have no real idea, but it was cool" one - Played a par 5 with a 90-degree dogleg right. Played from the tips, where it was 590, but waaaayyy downhill.  I smashed it over the corner, ball came to rest right next to the 150 pole.  So, technically, 590 - 150 = 440.  But, how far did it actually fly?  No idea.  Oh, also hit a 400-yard 3wood one time.  Teeing off on a severely downhill par 4, with a 3wood.  Pulled it slightly, it barely rolled onto the cartpath running down the left side of the fairway, and trickled all the way down the path, finally stopping pin high.

Google Earth can help with that  🙂

I hit one over 2500 yards across a frozen lake once. Teed off about 50 feet above the ice and it was severely downwind. It would’ve gone further but eventually it hit the other shore. 
I think a shot that normally would carry 200 yards would’ve done the same. The ball just rolled forever because of the wind. 

[DavePelz4]

If you believe Arccos...here's mine...but then again, they also think I'm a +9.5.

 

 

[TCGolfer35]

Hit the speed slot on a downhill hole at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach. Ended up being 340. Love those resort courses.

[PDWALKER]

It was at The Rawls in west Texas. I think it was 14 if anyone has ever played it. It is the par 5 on the back and I drove it down wind of course into the creek it must have been 430 haha

Ah yeah the 400+ hole in ones on Arccos I love those lol.

I've hooked drives on a couple of occasions that hit the cart path and bounced out around 350.  The last time I did this I found my tee shot in a green side bunker on a 350 yard par 4.

[llamont]

327yds during a windy round earlier this summer…had a nice tailwind to boot. Stepped up on the next tee with a strong headwind and barley hit it 190yds. 

[Primo1868]

342!

[HugoBear]

417, downhill, downwind at Old MacDonald.

[LBB]

I think around 330 wind assisted and a big forward first kick off a mound.  Ironically, I think my second longest drive is 329 using a 3 wood, heavily downhill.

[golfer2022]

315. I usually drive around 220 but this was downhill with lots of wind behind me. Felt great 🙂

[max power]

348 yds on #14 at Diamond Hawk in Cheektowaga, NY, 11 1/2 years ago.

[garrifij]

392y, into the front bunker on #9 at Montreux, NV (5600') from the Alpine (black) tees. Probably the best feeling drive of my life - slightly high of center, low spin bomb. Normalized for altitude I'd guess it was a 330-340 carry with some rollout. Next hole ducked hooked it into someones backyard, for a smooth triple bogey...golf is hard.

[bekgolf]

318 yards.

 

I had a truly bad round of golf that day.  It changed on number 17.  I drove the green to a short par 4 that required a heavy fade to go around a stand of trees.  Eagle putt was 6' and was made.

 

On the 18th tee I decided "nothing to lose, just let it rip".  18th hole was a 317 yard par 4.  Downhill right hand dog leg.  Me and my playing companion couldn't find the ball after the tee shot.  After much looking it was found pin high but in a poorly maintained green collar.  I came close to making the eagle chip but missed.  Made the birdie and finished out a horrible round with eagle, birdie.

 

Isn't this game great?!!!

[AntLockyer]

Only 334 once and I think 305 is the next longest.

 

[burnsd427]

362 yards.  Down hill, down wind, down grain at 6600' elevation.  Twin Warriors Golf Course, ABQ NM.

[Shankyouverymuch]

Not my drive but still a ridiculous poke..I played in my son's college football team's golf outing this past summer. Got to the long drive hole and the marker was so far up we could barely see it. We measured it when we finally got up to the sign and it was 368 from the tee, no downwind, flat fairway.  One of the offensive lineman had hit it....barefoot!

[cbrwn425]

321 yards. Down hill dead straight par 5. 

[Neo1]

hit one 440 last year, Hole was 570yds and I had 130 in lmao....the fairway was like concrete that day and after 320yds or so the fairway drops downhill 30/40yds and steep. we all thought my ball was lost somehow after seeing it land in the middle of the fairway, maybe a squirrel picked it up as nobody was in front of us. I even just dropped one 260 yds out and hit a 3 wood for fun as it wasn't a serious round to go back to the tee. drive down to where the layup area is with all the divots and what do you know my ProV1X was teed up on top of a sand divot lol.

My longest recorded golf ball strike with a driver went 346.  It didn't count though as it was a provisional and I found my tee shot.

 

Pulled my tee shot hard left into what I believed would be the trees, so hit a provisional.  My original tee shot hit one of the trees on the left and bounced back into the fairway for an easy chip on to the green.  My provisional went dead straight, rolled past the green and held up on the backstop behind it.  Without the backstop, it would be 350 easily.

 

Longest one that actually counted I measured at 335, bit of tailwind (nothing crazy) and a flat hole.

[amace04]

Yesterday I hit a new world record at the SIM.  Not quite ideal launch conditions,  but you can't argue with the results.   (Ok, maybe you can)

[Barfolomew]

Not sure but well over 400.... was slightly downhill and hit it past the green side bunker which made no sense as the guys on the green were waving back lol

[milesgiles]

for all the gigantic ego's get yourself to Seaford Head, East Sussex England, last hole is 489 but with a huge drop off the cliff top. Im certain itsdriveable in a dry summer, I think you can get 200 yards of extra carry and roll by my scientific calculations

 

this is the view from the front of the tee area..

[MSkibisky]

We have a local public course here that is known to be a pretty easy hacker course - Eastwoods CC in Torrington. 3rd hole is a straight par 4 with a crazy downhill drop from about 50 yards out all the way to the green - hole length is about 350yds from the Whites. I had one roll up almost to the green during a chilly round this year. Drive went about 330.. granted the wind + downhill roll helped me out quite a bit but I'll still take it!

One fine April day aged 62 I hit my tee shot over the green on a 356 yard par 4. Slightly downwind, I have no idea how it happened. My normal distance is around 240 yards.

 

I did hit one drive about 450 yards down a runway on a Naval Air Station while playing a Cross Country competition on the station golf course. The ball bounces rather well on concrete.
