Everyone wants to know where the world's toughest hole in golf is located. Many simply want to know out of curiosity while others want to attempt to tackle it and make a name for themselves. Well, the world's hardest golf shot has been found. Where you might ask? Try the top of a 1,410 ft. mountain in South Africa!

Players who finally get up the courage to attempt this seemingly impossible shot must take a helicopter to the top of the mountain to play the hole, which is the longest and highest par 3 on the planet! Players with a fear of heights may want to steer clear of this challenge because you must plant yourself extremely close to the edge of the mountain in order to attempt the shot. The hole is so high up that the ball takes around 30 seconds to reach the ground far below.

Every year, Golfweek releases a list of the Best Courses You Can Play in South Carolina. The list highlights the notable and challenging golf layouts that are open for public play. This year brings no disappointment to the golfing community as seven of the top 10 courses are in the Myrtle Beach area.

Pawley’s Island earned two spots on the list with Caledonia Golf & Fish Club and True Blue Plantation. Both courses are Mike Strantz designs and are actually right across the street from each other. True Blue Plantation earned the seventh spot and is rumored more difficult than its sister course Caledonia but is also one of the most beautiful courses on the Strand. The course also features what could be the widest fairways in the area. Caledonia is the more awarded and renowned of the two, and features a one-of-a-kind antebellum style. Look out for the par-3 third hole, which includes an intense tee shot over a waste bunker. This hole in itself may have earned Caledonia the number three spot on Golfweek’s list.
