121 yards to a green on top of a wall. The putting surface sits on a round drum of stacked turf three times the height of a man, built in a bowl of links dunes with the beach behind it, and one unbroken bunker runs right the way round the foot of it, so there is no front edge, no run up and no bail out. A single wooden stair up the face is the only way on, and the cart path has to keep its distance and go round. It is a wedge, and that is the trap. A raised target with nothing behind it looks closer than it is, the wind off the beach knocks a high ball down, and anything short finishes in sand at the bottom of a wall with no forward shot. Take the extra club and aim at the fat middle, because long and on top always beats short and brave.
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.
