the hole can be cut anywhere on the green as long as the entire hole is on the green.reading some of the answers makes me laugh,for instance ,a sucker pin ,is nothing to do with how close to the edge a pin is cut,it is simply a position that entices a player to go for the pin when the correct shot should be to the centre of the green avoiding the (usually bunker)trouble that aiming st.for the sucker pin would bring.

actually it can be cut ANYWHERE as long as the whole hole is on the green, however generally, the hole will be cut at least 5 feet away from the fringe and not on a super steep hill... but officially the hole MUST be on the green

There is no actually rule, so if they wanted to they can put the hole in a sand bunker or anywhere else. Obviously if they did this people would be pissed and not play that course anymore.

Oddly enough, that issue is not addressed in the Official Rules of Golf.

A general rule of thumb I was told was the length of the pin. Anything less then that is officially called a "sucker pin".
