Cape Kidnappers Golf Club -- Hawke's Bay, New Zealand -- No. 15: Par 5, 650 yards
This monster from Tom Doak falls away precipitously on both sides of the fairway and sports a horizon green that's perched on a bluff overlooking the sea. Unless you peer over the edge from the left side of the fairway or on the green, it's not as dramatic on the ground as it is in the air. Fortunately, I've seen it via helicopter as well -- there's nothing like it anywhere.
