Longest Golf Holes In The United States

meadowfarmsgolfcourse_12.jpg

What is the longest hole of golf you have ever played?

Have you ever played a par 6?

My home course is the Humber Valley Golf Course.

From the back tees, the course plays 7,199 yards with a rating of 75.1 and a slope of 132. The course has 105 bunkers so there is lots of time for me to play at the beach.

The longest hole on the Humber Valley Golf Course is #7 which is 561 yards long from the back tees.

This seems like a mini golf hole compared to the monster #12 at the Meadow Farms Golf Course in Locust Grove, Virginia which measures 841 yards.

Laura Castellano recently did an article for Forbes Traveler where she looked at the longest golf holes in the United States. Here are the top ten longest golf holes in America.

Have you played one of these golf courses? Are there golf courses out there that are longer then the ones on this list? Let us know.
