125 yards to a shelf of grass cut into the side of a sandstone pillar, with an old monastery standing on the rock above it. Short falls away down the face, long is into the stone. There is about twenty feet of green and a very long history watching you use it.

This hole is not real. Like every hole in the collection it was conjured with AI, a golf daydream rather than a course you can go and play. The thousands of courses in the Golf Handicapp app, however, are very real.

This one is make-believe. The thousands of courses in the app are not.
