Longest hole you've played

Nevin Hole 12, 950'. I'm trying to think if I've played anything longer, but I don't remember.
Not only do you gotta work the disc to the pin, but they want you to work those loose limbs off the fairway as well.... When did they include this in DG?
LOL!Hole 11 at Winny Gold is the longest I played. 1196 feet.
Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, TX has two >1000' holes. Hole #4 is 1053' and hole #17 is 1004'. It also has a 773' and a 602' that are uphill and it's almost always windy at OSP.

Ditto. Single circle 11 -- made it all the way down without going OB to about 200' out, tried to make the turn toward the hangar for the basket, and left it about 10' short of the good side of the OB rope, thanks to a gust in an already strong wind.
As cool as it is, I'm sort of glad Kelly listened to Val, Avery, and Nate and created the shorter version for the "Signature" layout -- it is sort of pointless to punish you several times in the course of one hole for the same thing -- essentially you take between four and seven or eight drives, depending on how far you throw, and if it sails wide or worse, hits the ground slightly nose down but 30-40 feet in bounds and rolls out, you take your extra stroke and do it again. Once or twice on the same hole is supportable, but having it happen 3 or 4 or 5 times seems a bit much.

Mine is a long 1213' par 3 at Solitude Resort in Utah.

I hope to play this when I head out to Utah to visit my brother. Doesn't that hole also have like a 500 ft drop in elevation?

what great course signage!
maybe they can hire my nephew if they add any new holes. he's really good with trees
Yeah she was shocked when I told her they already came out with the shorter layout at the AO. She loved the course but thought a 6hr round was a little excessive...which...it is.

I also played the 1600 footer at flyboy. I took a circle 7. Hard to throw far when you have to be so accurate. Very easy to go ob on that hole. Well at least for me. It is a par 7. Coolest course ever!

934' from the White tees at Black Diamond @ Emery Park. Its 1166 from the Championship tees.
I "played" Lake Merritt in Oakland (CA) with a buddy before we'd heard about DG. It's a couple of miles, par 400 ...

Yes sir!
Quaker's Challenge at Pinchot State Park has a 935' hole in the C pin. To make it even better, it's a slight dogleg!
It looks so wide to the casual obsverver but obviously it isn't.
Amazing that Climo and Feldberg carded 5s on it...and a 3 on the 1031' hole 21 is pretty sick too.
Those 2 Phil Moore holes are the longest I've played. There are some real long holes(up to 1450'+) at the newer Hobson/Riverside 9 that are actually built into the ball golf course that I have yet to play.
I know that Old Settler's in Round Rock, TX has two holes over 1,000 feet. Cameron Park East in Waco, TX has a hole in the 800s. I've played plenty of safari holes that were well over 1,000 feet, but not that were permanent holes on a course.
I've played that hole a couple of times and never realized that it was that long of a hole. I guess it doesn't play that long since the trees break up the fairway. I carded a 4 both times I played it. That is a fun hole!
