  that's an interesting question and will depend on tees...

   

  off legend tees likely need high wind and #5 cabo, like 14 tail, you can land on rocks and let it go and go and go.

  otherwise likely #10 sta but you can achieve same with few other holes - just need a proper bounce.

  # 3 @ St. Andrews with heavy tail wind can get you a very long drive as well. That is where I got my longest drive.

  14 mph quartering tailwind- exactly.  #5 at Cabo like THIS.  Did this yesterday, funny how Icon called that.

  Agree with Sting. I managed 403 yards at that hole, but after landing, it travelled another 123 yards !

  It pays to remember that long drives only count in ranked rounds and if the ball ends up on the fairway or the putting surface.   My longest that counted was at STA # 10, just over 400 yards.  I had a couple of others in the 430 ish but they ended up in the rough and didn't count. 

  ICON  we really could use that stat board.

  Add that you'll have to finish the round so the stats be validated.
