341 yards. Par 3. Those two numbers only belong in the same sentence because the tee sits four hundred metres above the green. You stand on a slab of turf laid straight onto bare red rock at the lip of a cliff, hit into open air, and then wait, and keep waiting. Far below, the putting surface is cut in the shape of Africa, ringed by sand like an ocean, with Madagascar sitting off the coast in a bunker of its own. Find the continent and you have a putt. Miss it and there is no chipping back on, only a long look down at roughly where your ball went.
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.
