Ninety yards, and it is the shortest hole you will ever be frightened of. It is a wedge. On any normal golf course it is the shot you would play without thinking, a three quarter swing to a green you could hit with your eyes shut. Here the ground between you and the flag is not ground at all. It is a street canyon falling away several hundred feet to the tarmac, with two glass skybridges strung across the gap below the level of the green, and a drop on every side of the putting surface. There is no apron in front, no bank behind, no rough to catch anything. You either land it on the deck or you do not, and there is no version of not landing it that ends well. That is the whole trick of the hole. The shot is easy and the consequence is absolute, which is a combination almost no golf hole manages, because on a real course even the harshest miss leaves you playing another shot from somewhere. Take one more club than the yardage says, because on a wedge this short the temptation is to swing softly and steer it, and steering is how you come up short. Make an ordinary swing at it and trust the number. The skybridges are the only way across, so if you do miss, the walk to your next tee is a long one and everybody in the building gets to watch you take 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.
