AWESOME: Afraid of Heights? This Hole’s Not for You

The Legends Golf and Safari Resort in South Africa.

The Legends Golf and Safari Resort in South Africa.

A golf course in South Africa just opened with 18 reportedly spactacular holes and one jaw-dropping bonus hole.

The Legends Golf and Safari Resort‘s newest course features holes designed by some of the best golfers in the world.  That’s impressive enough.  But, imagine capping off your round with the bonus 19th hole: a 630 yard Par 3.

The tee box of the "Xtreme 19th" is 1,400 feet higher in elevation than the green.

The tee box of the “Xtreme 19th” is 1,400 feet higher in elevation than the green.  Apparently it takes about 30 seconds for the ball to land on the green.

Sounds pretty awesome, right?  Well, I haven’t finished yet.

You need a helicopter to transport you from tee to green.  That is awesome.

Here’s a video featuring Ireland’s Padraig Harrington playing the hole.

And oh yeah, I’m afraid of heights.  I would be terrified on this tee box.
