Golfing Michiganer had a nice find when he saw that Joe Gibbs, owner of Chocolay Down Golf Course in Marquette, Mich., is setting to build the world's largest golf hole – a par 6 that will measure 1,007 yards, plus have room to grow should anyone challenge the record.
The previous longest hole is in Sano, Japan, which apparently sent Gibbs off on some type of delayed patriotic spree.
"I don't mean to start World War III over this, but the World War II veterans like the fact that we're beating the Japs again," said Gibbs, whose course is set to open next spring. "It's going to make a nice amount of publicity for America. This is America! We beat'em once, and we'll beat 'em again."

According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the Satsuki golf course in Sano, Japan, boasts the longest hole in the world—an exhausting 964-yard, par-7 humdinger. But the Japanese domination is about to end. Joe Gibbs, owner of Chocolay Downs Golf Course in Marquette, Michigan, is building a double-dogleg par 6 (above). The total: 1,007 yards. Quadruple digits, buddy, the Milton Berle of fairways.

The longest par 5 that I know of is 678 yards at Thanksgiving Point in Utah.
I know of one hole that is a par 6.
I had not heard of a par 7 until now. That is crazy hehe.

1,007 yards at Chocolay Downs.
Also, if any holes beat that distance, Chocolay Downs has kept extra land behind the green to extend the hole another quarter mile for the record.
