That looks nice!

There’s a 200-yard par 3 like that near me, it’s at the top of a cliff. The green is surrounded by bunkers

It’s nice the course designer chose to make it easy, right? super eye roll lol
@Vine
Yeah, the wind there is brutal too
I love them until I duff one off the tee and watch it roll 140 yards downhill
For some reason I find driving into the trees easier from an elevated tee box. Am I crazy?

You’re right. Elevated tees also narrow the fairway further
Hamilton Island, hole 18. 40m drop, drove 350m, made par. Best feeling ever
These holes are what I base my driving distance on when people ask how far I can hit my driver
As a golfer from coastal NC, I enjoy the views from up high, sometimes even 5 or 6 feet above the fairway
I love hitting from an elevated tee box and enjoy occasional elevated greens. But I can’t stand a blind second shot. I like courses with elevation changes but I want to see where to send my shots without needing a spotter
I enjoy hitting from elevated tees as much as hiking in the woods. This would be a fun hole
My driver and I have had a mixed year. My home course has a lot of slopes and narrow driving holes. Too often I find myself steering the ball and the results aren’t what I want. Not on elevated tee boxes though. I tend to relax and hit better shots. Maybe I need to pretend I’m on one of those elevated holes every time
I will lose many balls trying to hit the fairway, but I’ll be so happy when I do
I actually don’t like them. They add yards which is nice but the ball stays in the air too long. It’s hard to keep it straight. There’s extra time for the ball to curve
Anything to boost my carry distance
Elevation courses can be tricky. There’s a lot to think about
