A look from the new black tees at the ninth hole at The Links Golf Club in Post Falls — an 888-yard par-6 which previously played at "only" 740 yards from the tips, where golfers are preparing to hit. From the blacks, it takes a poke of some 256 yards to clear the front tees. To the left is out of bounds.

THE FRONT ROW with MARK NELKE: 8,296! — The Links looking to make another splash as one of the longest golf courses in the world
"My personal opinion is our signature hole will become No. 15, our par-3 up the hill that has the pot bunker in front,” Hull said. “From the new black tee that will play 258 (compared to 168 from the white tees, 177 from the blues) ... uphill, pot bunker in front, bunker on the left, and if the wind’s blowing the wrong direction, that’ll play close to 300 yards.”
