Africa's longest golf course is in South Africa, where you can tackle the 'Extreme 19th' at Legend Golf & Safari Resort located in the Limpopo province. It refers to the 19th hole, which is located at the bottom of a cliff. Hop into a helicopter to reach the tee, which is set on a mountainside, and then attempt the hole-in-one 400 metres below.
