152 yards to an island green marooned on a sandbar in the middle of the turquoise. The most beautiful place in golf to make a triple bogey. Carry it clean or go for a swim, there is no in between, and honestly the swim looks quite pleasant.

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.
