St Andrews for sure.

I think several of the holes have yielded drives over 400

Which holes in particular?

I done whacked one 390.38 yards on St. Andrews #5.

KEYS: wind & calloway balls and nice kick/bounce

TarheelsRule:

I routinely hit drives at St Andrews in the 350 range and got my long drive of 380 there. However since moving back to the Legend tees on that course it seems that every time you have a heavy trailing wind your tee shot manages to hit into a mound or ridge, I rarely get over 330 there anymore. RSG has a number of places that seem to drive the ball forward even from the Legend tees.

I did watch a guy at BPB the other day on the par four dogleg left that you hit it over the trap, can't recall the number, hit one that hit into the heavy rough just past the trap and bolt forward to about 360 yards. He said he did it on purpose and that there was some hard area there, I'm not precise enough to hit it, but it did seem to work. Also for those playing #9 on BPB, you can drive it, even from the back tees left of the trap and carry it in the fairway to about 135 yards out. No wind or tail wind and you can find this area.

Tarheels that was me correct? And I do not think it's a hard spot but rather the fescue on a downslope gives it a strong kick, either way its a great shortcut.

Many of the St A. holes can yield 400+ yd drives with a tail wind, and a lucky bounce doesn't hurt either.

My best at St. Andrews is 438 yds on the Par 5 5th hole. Leaving a Pitching wedge 2nd shot to the green. Note the very nice bounce.

438 yds on St. Andrews #5

But Cabo #5 is the hole for the record longest drives. Regularly drives of well over 400 yds off the path and the rocks. Even over 450 yds have been recorded there.

Good Luck
