Is there a par 7 in golf?
The par-7 stretches the length of this particular nine to 3,469 yards and consists of three par-5s, five par-4s and the monstrous par-7. GOLF’s own Alan Shipnuck has long suggested that modern Tour courses will need to stretch to 9,000 yards to test the big bombers. Just nine holes at this distance would get you there.
Which golf course has a par 6?
747 yards, 17th, Black Mountain Golf Course, Black Mountain, N.C. At one time, this famous par 6 on this city-owned muni was the longest hole in the world. The fact that it takes up 12 percent of the course’s entire yardage (6,215) makes it even more remarkable.
Which Belfry course is best?
As a member who has played all three, I think the PGA is the best. The Derby will be a bit of a let down as at it’s worst it’s no better than a decent muni. At it’s best though it plays like a mid-range private course. The Brab has some good and memorable holes, but some bland ones too.
