Set high up on Hanglip Mountain and accessible only by helicopter, this par 3 hole is played from a vertical height of 430 meters (1,410 feet)! Did I mention it’s only accessible by helicopter?
Some additional notes:
- Four separate cameras and the latest tracking equipment allow golfers to follow and capture their tee shot and the flight of the ball
- The fairway is seeded with Cynodon grass and contoured to funnel the ball to the green below
- In celebration of the African Renaissance, the green has been shaped like the map of Africa
- Spotters are posted around the green to let you know where your ball lands
- the 900-yard (830 meter) 19th is used as a playoff hole for major tournaments
- Any hole-in-one will earn a lucky golfer one million US dollars
