Massive holes

[EnglishGolfer]

Apparently there is a 850 yard par 6 being played somewhere on the Asian tour and in America somewhere there is a course named something along the lines of "Chocolay Downs" that has a hole over 1000 yards! Is this stuff true? Have any of you ever played such enormous holes?

I belive the course in America is in New Jersey but im not sure. Its over 8000yards. I have made a 340yrd par 4 look like it was 850 yrd.

These long hole/par 6es seem a bit gimmicky to me.

Par 7? Guess a snowman does not look so bad on the card.

Par 7? Opens up the possibilty of the triple eagle for the likes of Tiger and Co.

Do they hand out binoculars on the Tee?

And the largest single green in the world is now in Dubai, on the Montgomerie course. It's a par three, island green - and the green is in the shape of the UAE.

Largest green in the world on a par three. And yes, I've missed it...
