170 yards along the top of the reef. Lagoon and palms on the left, a coral buggy path along the edge, and on the right a channel of knee deep clear water with the sharks circling in it, then the breaking reef and the open ocean. Hit it straight and it is a pleasant walk to a bunkered green. Leak it right and your ball is sitting on white sand in two feet of water with company. Nobody has fetched one yet.
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.
