As per title - longest and shortest. Home or abroad.

Me -
Longest is at Redbourn Ver course 18th hole 619 yards off the back.
Shortest - The 4th at Chartridge Park 112 yards off the back

Parred them both :D
 
Shortest is probably the par 3 in front of the clubhouse to the island green at Barton-on-Sea. Only about 100 yards off the yellow, but fantastic viewing from the clubhouse balcony!
 
Mine i've played as follows:

The longest 6TH is 554yds S.I. 1 at Lee Park

The shortest 10TH is 110yds S.I 17 at Upton by chester
 
Can't think of the longest, but the shortest is the 12th at Oakhampton in Devon, it's a massive 98yards off the white (87 yellow and 93 red, straight fron the strokesaver) The green must be about 50 - 60 ish yards below the tee, and it's just a flick with a sand wedge.
 
Cant remember where the longest was, but i can remember it was about 610yds off the yellows!!

The shortest is a 79yds par 3 at Knotty Hill in Sedgefield on their A&B course, pretty much taking a putter off the tee :D
 
Shortest same as Robobum Torrequebrada 3rd @ 79yds,just a wee flick but to a tiny green with sand all around it.

Longest I'm not sure of,maybe 13th at Eyemouth 620yds but all down hill so doesn't play that unless into the wind.I'm sure I played one in Algarve that was around 580metres but can't for the life of me recall where it was!
 
Longest was the 3rd on the Montgomerie at Celtic Manor, only one I've played over 600yds.

As for the shortest I'm not sure, but there were short ones at Erewash Valley (down into a former quarry) & Stanedge, both in Derbyshire.
 
Not sure about the shortest but the 3rd at my club Styrrup is 712yds off the whites.

That's ridiculous!!! Average of nearly 240yds for each shot to be on in regulation!!! There will be an awful lot of golfers who can't hit 240yds as a Sunday best!!!

I see it's a real shorty off the yellows though :eek: :D
 
I've just looked at the 3rd at Styrrup.
I bet it feels great when you look at your strokesaver for the 2nd shot!
Ok so I've hit a decent drive of 270yds how far have I got to the green? Ah 440yds! :D! :p
 
Longest is a par 5 at Farthingstone, Northamptonshire, that is 600 yards (think it was 610 from the whites)

There is a par 3 course that has a hole at 90 I think.

I play one course that has a 222yard par 4 :)
 
Yeah I'm not keen on it at all. When the wind's blowing in your face you feel defeated before you even tee off. I've connected well with the driver and not cleared the ladies tee before.
