A long golf course is considered to span 7,200 yards. The distance of China’s Jade Dragon course clocks in at a knee-buckling 8,450 yards, making it the longest in the world. And while the thin air of the Himalayas — it’s set at 10,000 ft. (3,050 m) elevation — allows shots to travel farther, it takes a strong back to break 80 as Jade Dragon breathes fear among players with a 735-yard par 5, a 525-yard par 4 and a 270-yard par 3.
