400 yard par 3

[FAIRWAYFOUND!]

By far the craziest hole I've ever seen

Don't know if this has been shown here before. Completely nuts. Green is the shape of the continent of Africa including Madagascar.

That's wild.

I'd be afraid of getting off balance on my swing and falling off the cliff. Mental thoughts are powerful.

Wow. 19th hole? So it's a novelty hole, I guess? I imagine it would slow play if it wasn't.

That's been shown here and elsewhere a few times. Its an amazing shot. Every now and again when I am in CA I play a course that has one hole with a 200' straight drop to the fairway below. Although it's not nearly as tough a shot as the one in that vid, still it's a challenging finishing hole. Reading wind conditions is the biggest obstacle, and then playing for a certain part of the fairway as it slopes dramatically feeding bunkers and a reachable pond.

There is a course near me that has a regular 238 yard par three that plays INTO the prevailing wind!. they also have a 236 yard par four that is even more difficult.

Sounds like Trilogy at Glen Ivey, fun hole. Last time I played there they had switched nines so it was the ninth hole.

I recently saw something about this hole on a tv show I recently watched (Sorry can't remember which program). 10,000 ft drop! and there is a prize of a million dollars to the first person to get a hole in one.

Yes, it's now called The Golf Club at Glen Ivy. The hole above is the 18th.
