Goat Hill Park in Oceanside, CA
802 ft.
"The first hole exemplifies what Goat Hill is all about: You are greeted to an 802 foot par 4 playing into a straight headwind. Obviously, you'll want to crush your drive as far as possible to allow yourself the easiest approach to the pin. You'll also want to get your drive turned over to avoid fading out, but if you get it turned over too much (which is easy to do, thanks to the headwind), you'll likely cut roll into the valley and find yourself looking at a bogey. Even with an excellent drive, you're still looking at a 300+ foot approach into a precarious green with the basket situated on a slope just beyond the golf green."
