If you’re an emeritus golfer, here is the most difficult par three you can play in the world. Can only be reached by helicopter! This is the 19th hole of the Legend Signature golf course, South Africa. Vertical high: 430 m (from the top of the mountain). Horizontal distance: 400 m. Time for ball to land: 20 to 30 seconds. Just… weird!
As this is the 19th hole, it comes after the whole other 18 holes, of course.

Another one in France, south of Brittany. A little bit difficult to go there, because it’s on an island. Trip by boat is beautiful. And the island is a nice place to visit. You should rent a bicycle, it’s so romantic! And at night, enjoy the great local seafood with, of course, a chablis grand cru. Extreme.
Belle Ile, Brittany, France
