Has there ever been a par 6 hole or higher on a golf course?

Answer 1

Sure, there are some still in play to this day. One example is Hole 1 at the El Rivino Country Club in Riverside, Ca. Click the link below for a look at the scorecard.

Answer 2

Although no tour event has ever utilized any hole above a par 5, There are several courses around the world that have Par 6's. I have even heard of a course that supposedly was built by Conrad Hilton that is over a mile long...(sometihing like a par 10 or so.) Never played it though.

Answer 3

The 644 yard18th at the Cherry Creek Golf Links in Riverhead, Long Island (NY) is a par 6. The course designer said that the perfect places for the tee box and green were just that far apart, so it was made into a 6 instead of a long 5. That makes sense, I mean 644 YARDS!! I went to the PGA at Baltusrol in '05 and that 647 yard 17th is CRAZY long. It took forever to walk the damn thing, let alone play it. I live on Long Island and I'm going to play the Cherry Creek couse one day. Guess I'll have to use the driver on 18.

Answer 4

Yes, I have played on a regulation par 72 course in the Sebring, FL area with a 600+ yd par 6 hole.

Answer 5

The Wake Forest Country Club used to have a par 5 - some 700 yards long. Really it should be a par 6. You hit your tee shot from a hill into a valley, across the floor of the valley and up another damn hill. Oh yeah, there was a creek cutting across the bottom of the valley.

Answer 6
