Which is the longest golf hole in the world?

According to Guinness World Records, the longest golf hole in the world is the seventh hole on the Sano Course at Satsuki Golf Club in Japan, which measures 964 yards, or 881 metres, from the back tees and is one of the few par-7 holes in the world. Guinness World Records states, ‘All records listed on our website are current and up-to-date’ but, neverthless, in November, 2018, Ladies European Tour professional Florentyna Parker posted pictorial evidence of an even longer hole, also a par-7, at the Gunsan Country Club in South Korea.

The Gunsam Country Club occupies 1,060 acres of low-lying, flat land, formerly a salt field, in North Jeolla Province in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula. All told, Gunsan Country Club consists of 81 golf holes, 63 of which are open to the public, but the hole in question is the third on the Jeongeup Course; a photograph of the tee marker confirmed the yardage as 1,098 yards, or 1,004 metres, or a jaunty seven-minute walk, just to cover the distance, never mind negotiating the water hazards that surround the hole, left and right.
