(photo by Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images)Meadows Farms Golf Course, Waterfall Course (Hole 4)—Locust, Va.The Meadows Farms Golf Course in northeast Virginia, which features three distinctive nine-hole layouts, isn’t modest when it comes to promoting the 3rd hole on its “Longest Hole” course—an 841-yard par six that’s recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest hole in the United States. Overshadowed by that accolade is the 4th hole on the “Waterfall” course, which appropriately plays to a green that’s positioned at the top of a waterfall. While so many of the holes on this list are punctuated by a dramatic water feature to the side or behind the green, this 174-yard par three stands out for the fact that those falls are positioned just in front of the putting surface. It brings new meaning to the term “forced carry.”Waterfall Course at Meadows FarmsTot Hill Farm Golf Club (Hole 15)—Asheboro, N.C.If you ventured to the edge of the mountainous Uwharrie National Forest in central North Carolina to play Tot Hill Farm at any point in the past, you might be scratching your head at the golf club’s inclusion on this list. However, the third par three on the back nine, No. 15 (nicknamed “Water Fall”), at one time showcased a dynamic water feature behind the green, and that waterfall is one of the primary features of the hole that the club recently committed to resuscitating as part of a larger restoration of the entire course. Overall, the course is known partially for its devilishly contoured greens, and the putting surface on this short one-shotter is no different. Chasing the pin when holes are cut far from the center is a fool’s errand. So, no matter what, take aim at the center of the green. Of course, that’s a more difficult task now that a dramatic waterfall once again flows in the background.Tot Hill FarmWaterfall Club (Hole 2)—Clayton, Ga.It should come as no surprise that

LOCUST GROVE, Va. — Bill (Farmer) Meadows has always had a fix on his own nature.When he was 21, he played golf once and knew he would become obsessed.But he wanted to accomplish some other things in life. So he didn’t pick up another golf club for 35 years.When he finally did, about three years ago, he went at it in his usual way, which is to say headlong. He hit hundreds of golf balls every day for a month before ever playing a round. A year after that, he decided he wasn’t content playing other people’s courses. He had to build his own.It would be cheaper to play than most courses. The people would be friendlier. Every hole had to be unique. And, of course, it had to have the longest golf hole in America.No. 12 at Meadows Farm Golf Course, carved out of the Virginia countryside near where James Madison lived, stretches 841 yards. Down a hill. Over a lake. Dogleg right. Up another hill. Over another lake. Paragraph mark.Then past a sand trap shaped like a three-leaf clover. And up onto a green that is nearly half a football field long.Par is six.Twenty-nine more feet and the hole would have been half a mile long.“How could I have been so stupid not to see that,” says Farmer--no one calls him Mr. Meadows. “I think I’m a pretty good promoter, but I screwed that up.”Not to worry. The course, which opened in April, 1993, already attracts golfers from distant reaches. They come, the curious and the devout, past mobile homes and down a dirt road, as if making pilgrimages to a religious site.To its adherents, golf is a form of mysticism. Its best players talk about reading books on Zen. The best book on the subject, “Golf in the Kingdom,” is a work of philosophy. In short, golf is as much an obsession with mental discipline as a sport. Which means it was tailor-made for Farmer.Like the golf course he built, Farmer’s life is a testament to the spirit of a man with the confidence and the means to make things the way he wants.After coaching high school football for 10 years, Farmer turned a summer roadside fruit stand and nursery business into what claims to be the largest privately owned nursery company in the country. The revenues of his 21 Meadows Farms Nurseries last year, Farmer says, were $22 million.When he took to building a golf course, Farmer wanted three things to be different. First, each hole had to be unique. “Most designers have this idea in their minds of the perfect golf hole. Then they go out and build it 18 times.”For ideas, Farmer bought $2,000 worth of glossy coffee table golf books, cutting out things he liked.Four of the five architects he interviewed refused to attach their name to the sort of freak real estate he proposed. But the fifth, designer Bill Ward, signed on.The course has 19 holes, one for warm-up.It has “church pew”

It is long. As much as a summer day is long. It is looooooong.We are referring of course to the 12th hole at Meadow Farms Golf Course in Virginia — the longest hole in the United States, with a monstrous par 6 totaling 841 yards!Golf is a sport built on skill, technique, and precision, but increasingly over the recent past, it has been transitioning into a game of strength and power too. World-class technology that goes into developing the balls and clubs for professionals is the main contributing factor in this shift towards the application of brute force on the fairways. The swings are harder, the drives carry longer, and the players are stronger. To whack the club, you need to pump iron. Fitness is as important as finesse.South African Bobby Locke had coined the phrase, “You drive for show, but putt for dough.” Both Tiger Woods and Bubba Watson have played a role in taking the sport in the direction of ‘power golf’, where athleticism and dynamism blend to create those long drive which has and always will enthrall spectators. Long drivers like Bryson ‘The Scientist’ DeChambeau pull in crowds to rival those of the championship leaders. That big-hitters tend to draw hordes to the galleries is an established fact. Therefore, the courses also have to keep up and have holes that allow them to strike 400 yards.It is here that Bill ‘Farmer’ Meadows and his Meadows Farms Golf Course enter the conversation. The longest golf hole in the United States, the Americas even, has 2 lakes, 4 tees, a 3-leaf clover-shaped bunker, and a green roughly stretches acres both ways. To say that it is intimidating coming up to the tee and seeing that the hole is more than 800 yards long would be an understatement.But it is
