It's actually been done at least twice in recorded history, both on severe doglegs where people have been able to "cut the corner".
Acceptable terms for it include, triple-eagle, double-albatross, and condor.
But really, for all intents and purposes, it's pretty much impossible.

A 'Condor' - it has been achieved a couple of times on a dogleg Par 5 where people have cut the corner so that doesn't really count for me as a 'proper Condor' but one guy achieved one on the straight 517yd Par 5 at his home-course

It's called a "condor". There are at least 3 documented cases of a hole in one on a par 5 hole.
One of them was not a dogleg. Mike Crean hit a hole in one on a 517 yard regular hole.

I don't think even the pros can reach a par 5 in one
tee shot, so it would probably be called a miracle.

I would say impossible unless you know anyone that can hit a 450m tee shot (apart from Happy Gilmore)

Condor is the correct term
but id call it an ace first

Bogey: one over
Birdie: one under
Eagle: two under
Albatross: three under
There is no term for 'four under' par because a par-5 is reachable in two shots, at best.

It is still an Ace and offically a double eagle. Also PRICELSS.
