Just 130 yards, but every one over raw red desert rock to an emerald green marooned in a canyon of towering sandstone, the walls glowing like they are on fire. Miss the green and there is no bail out, just rock. Short club, big nerve, and the hottest looking hole you will ever play.
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.
