A hole-in-one is one of, if not, the rarest feats in golf, with many individuals playing the game for a number of years and not often managing one. Everyone remembers their first one, with there being a number of golf holes and courses where you would love to sink an ace.

Regarded as one of the world’s most incredible courses, Cypress Point’s iconic par 3 16th is one of the greatest and most famous golf holes, with the jagged coastline of the Pacific Ocean requiring a 220-yard carry.
