This would be a hole in one on a par 5

Yep. It's been done on par 5 holes that have an extreme dogleg in the fairway, thus allowing the golfer to cut across the intended path of the ball. See the link below for complete details.

The first-known ace of this nature occurred in 1962, according to the Golf World article. "Larry Bruce took his drive over a stand of scrawny pines on the 480-yard dogleg right par-5 fifth hole at Hope Country Club" in Arkansas, and found the cup. But there's also one hole-in-one known to have occurred on a straightaway par-5. This monster drive was achieved at altitude on the No. 9 hole at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver in 2002. The shot was 517 yards in length, and the golfer who got the ace was Mike Crean. This ace is believed to be the longest ever recorded.

I just wanted to state that I have played Green Valley Ranch Golf Course and there is no way in hell that the report of the hole in one on the par 5 9th hole is accurate. I believe it is made up by him and his friends.
