Imagined holes

See all
A tee made of weathered timber crates on the bare red rock summit of a desert mountain in New Mexico, a golfer standing on the boards looking out over a huge drop, dirt tracks switchbacking down brown scrub covered foothills far below, and a hazy desert valley with a small town stretching to distant mesas on the horizon

The Elfego Baca Shootout

One hole · 5,280 yards · 2,550 feet down

A par 3 played along the top of a high sea cliff, from a clifftop tee to a green on a grassy promontory further along the headland, with a small stone fort and lighthouse on the point and an enormous ocean wave rearing up in the bay below, its crest reaching two thirds of the height of the cliff and spray tearing backwards off the lip in the offshore wind

Nazaré

Par 3 · 192 yards

A long par 3 played across a river gorge to a green on a broad grassy ledge at the very lip of a wide waterfall, the whole river pouring over the edge beside the green into a deep plunge pool far below with spray rising and a rainbow standing in it

The Falls

Par 3 · 203 yards

A par 3 played across the sea to a green on the flat top of a raised block of hexagonal basalt columns, thousands of packed grey columns stepping down in tiers into white foaming water, with a cliff of vertical columns standing behind like organ pipes

The Basalt

Par 3 · 125 yards

A short par 3 played from a clifftop tee across a broad shelf of dark wet wave cut rock, with a tall column of white spray erupting from a circular blowhole directly on the line of the shot, the green with its single bunker on a raised rock platform just beyond it and heavy surf breaking white against the outer edge of the shelf

The Blowhole

Par 3 · 110 yards
