The first hole of the Stone Reach Golf Links. Turn towards the water and line up the wind behind you. Crack it 100% and straight out over the water and you should get over 315 and the achievement.

My wind was not as favorable as yours, it was blowing across to the right and could only get ~300 into the water. Ended up shooting with the wind right towards the building and it ended up bouncing off of a trailer. Got about 320 yards.

Got this achievement on first hole of craggy island links winds 11 mph south east, i think the water was so far down i went far enough anyway. Make sure your pointing south east.

By madawg571 on 22 Aug 2014 23:30

This is impossible the wind is never 13 for me only ever 10 at max!

By toonarmy206 on 24 Aug 2014 22:34

definitely much better solution doing it on craggy island links hole number 1 - got it first time, cheers madawg571

By Joon79 on 25 Aug 2014 12:52

Guess the wind is different for everyone, I had 17mph wind and got it easily at 321 yds.

By Elem3ntal80 on 26 Aug 2014 13:00

I can't get it to be over 7mph on Stone Reach. I will try using madawg's way.

I got it on the first hole Stoney with 17 mph winds. It went about 319 yds.

By HEATH 10 on 10 Dec 2014 05:08

I also got this on Craggy Island. Winds on Stone Reach were never more than 4mph.

Get good wind speed, but always blowing from the water to land.

Craggy Island works perfectly....for distance - 375 yards buy no cheevo popped.

By BipeFlyer on 13 Apr 2015 13:59

Craggy Island for me as well, even with 4 mph, just add really high loft and just let it ride

By IrritatedPuppy on 25 Apr 2015 17:18

Perfect! Got it on the first try thanks to this guide.

By ThaiKickUrFace on 15 Sep 2015 21:29

I did get it Bang on 315.

By C64 Mat on 07 Jun 2016 15:31

I got this by a yard. Nice solution.

By VisciousSquare on 19 Sep 2016 23:15

perfect solution, thank you all.

By Dwaggienite on 18 Jul 2017 18:10

Got it! Had to sit and wait for the wind to turn a little more favorable though. As with others it mostly blew at 5 mph or less. Restarted a few times and had to adjust so the wind was in my back.

By Loofahdog on 06 Dec 2017 21:16

Wind and 100% is crucial for this achievement. Restart until you get decent wind (10+ mph). I was able to do this with 11 mph wind and in fact, get 100%, and the result was 317 yds.

By qManballin on 18 Apr 2019 05:22

Have tried this multiple times and I cannot seem to get a favorable wind. Always blows at 3 MPH or so. Got 310 one time. The rest have all been less.

By Jayadub on 24 Aug 2014 17:48

Just so you all know, it does have to be over 315 yards. I just had a drive that was exactly 315 yards and I didn't get the achievement.

If @swaggers solution is not working for you try, The first hole of the Craggy Island Golf Links. Turn towards the south east and line up pointing with the wind. Crack it 100% and straight and you should get over 315 and the achievement. Thanks to @madawg571 and others.

Worked flawlessly on the first try.

By GAM3RJET on 14 Dec 2016 06:31

Good guide

By YAT0 on 20 May 2018 12:25

My wind direction just says South between 6-11Mph every time?

By I MooseJoose I on 17 Jul 2018 18:16

Wind direction always seems to be 10+mph south-west? Meaning you cannot follow the above to get the achievement

By Jeffchob on 29 Sep 2018 10:28

Craggy Island all day. Got it first try after failing a few times on that other suggested course.

If you're struggling, you can crank up the swing difficulty (Settings>Gameplay) which gets you some extra distance. I actually ended up using that feature again to micro adjust my shot power when attempting the hole-in-one achievement.

By Healtti on 14 Dec 2018 06:12

Great tip on the swing difficulty! Got it first time once I fixed that

By pezza888 on 13 May 2023 10:44

Just make sure you switch to a driver as well. My game started me with a 3 wood and I wasn't getting close until I changed to the driver.

Really easy this one... Simply pick Stone Reach golf links as your course and on the first hole turn around so your facing the water and hit that ball with full power and you should clear 315 yards easily! When I did this the wind was 18mph, if its lower just reload until the wind is up to 17 or 18+

Hope this helps...

Play Now on Craggy Island Links or Stone Reach Links. Turn towards the water, equip your Driver and pound it at full strength. The ball sails off the course and over a cliff, into the sea. Because of the height/distance of the tee compared to the water, the ball will go over 315 and land in the drink. Doesn't matter... the achievement is yours.
