    I don't know how no one has suggested this one yet.

    Well, if you'd like to put in a SICK CTTH challenge out there, I'd ask you to put the 19th Extreme at Legends Golf & Safari Resort, located at Entabeni Safari Conservatory, South Africa.

    Description by Wikipedia:

    The tee, located at the top of Hanglip Mountain, is accessed via helicopter.[2] Because of its height, a tee shot takes almost 30 seconds to land.[4] To track the ball, shots are followed with four separate cameras,[3] and golfers are supplied with six balls equipped with tracking chips.[5] The fairway is seeded with Cynodon grass, and has been landscaped to direct the ball towards the green, which has been shaped to resemble the continent of Africa. The green is surrounded by a large waste bunker.[3]

    As of April 15, 2010, no one had scored a hole-in-one, but two golfers had managed a birdie,[8] including professional cricketer Franklyn Stephenson, who was the first to do so.[2] Of professional golfers to try the hole, Pádraig Harrington was the first ever to score par.[9] American actor Morgan Freeman has also scored par on the hole, and professional golfers Raphaël Jacquelin, Justin Rose, Sergio García and K. J. Choi have all carded bogeys.[10]

     

    • Vertical Height – 430m
    • Horizontal distance from foot of mountain to back of green – 400m
    • Horizontal distance from foot of mountain to start of fairway – 280m
    • The vertical drop from the start of fairway to the front of the green is 21m.

     

    Have a taste of it - 

    You know, the 1st to ace this hole on WGT gets a car or something... on the real course the acer gets a mil :)

    Er... I think you'll find I posted about it some time ago (see here), but looks like it fell by the wayside.
