Longest Courses in the Country

It would be nice if you could sort them on this site by length.
Having just played Flyboy I can say yeah... it's long.
Edgebrook in Chicago is on a ball golf course, right around 13000 feet for 18 holes (IIRC, Flyboy is 14000 for 27).
yeah one thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to find courses with the longest length per hole.

Lost Creek in Superior Nebraska is 4729ft, or 525ft per hole.

That might be tops for a 9-hole course.

It's extinct now, but Hobson Grove Riverview was 8512 for 9 holes, averaging 946' per hole.

Black Diamond at Emery Park in Western NY is 10,768 from the gold tees. That's almost a 600' average.
River Chase in Union, SC is about the same. (Also on a ball golf course).
Also in the extinct category was Still Waters Farm, about 10,000' for 18 holes as I recall.
This thread makes my shoulder ache.

Longest I've played:
Carousel Park DE - 9840' from longs
Hawk Hallow VA - 8089' but it seems longer with all the terrain.
Makes we wonder why the obsession with making DG courses longer and longer? Just to intimidate and drive off beginners?

Noticing a trend here. Seems like being incredibly long can be a negative for some courses.
That course was so dumb.
I highly dislike "long for the sake of being long" If it's long and I'm throwing a Buzzz off every tee, I'm probably thoroughly enjoying myself. If it's long and I'm throwing a Nuke off every tee, I'd rather be beating my head against the nearest tree... if only I could find a tree.

Ozark Mountain is around 10000 feet, par 72.
Insufficient evidence. Still Waters Farm is extinct due to issues with the private property owner. It was a great course---in my top-5 alltime.
Private courses often have longevity issues, regardless of their quality, sometimes despite it.

The Jackson course at IDGC is about 9,000' (I'm too lazy to check), with hills and 170,000 trees. Perhaps not the longest, but if you may the list long enough it'll be there.

Lumberjack Meadows DGC has a few holes that fit your description. Overall, the course covers 2.2 miles of terrain and some of it is just open hayfields.
