Extreme 19th Hole

South Africa / Limpopo / Potgietersrus /
 golf course, interesting place

Part of the Legend Golf Safari Resort, the Extreme 19th Hole is the world's longest Par 3 golf hole, its tee lying over 300 yards away and roughly 430m higher than the green. In order to play the hole, golfers must ride a helicopter to the tee located atop Hanglip Mountain and aim for a large green shaped and geo-contoured like the African continent. On average, it takes roughly 20 seconds for the ball to complete its freefall from the tee to the green surface.

To date only eight golfers have birdied the hole, while 95 have scored a Par.
