At Glen Ivy Golf Club in Corona, California you can watch your game soar

CORONA, Calif. -- Here's a fun game to play at Glen Ivy Golf Club: Count how many seconds it takes the final tee shot to find land.

The course yardage guide claims the 200-foot drop from 18th tee to the fairway is the biggest on any golf course in the United States. Whether that's true or not is irrelevant. What's cool is watching the ball soar for up to 10 seconds before gravity brings it back to earth. That magical moment is the top highlight on a 6,673-yard course filled with its fair share.

The 2002 Ted Robinson design, located 60 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, sits across the street from the famous Glen Ivy Hot Springs, one of the oldest and most esteemed hot springs in the United States. Playing golf in such a scenic setting near the Cleveland National Forest has healing powers of its own.

Glen Ivy's front nine starts and ends with man-made water features in ponds next to the first and ninth greens. The most unique hole along the way has to be no. 6, a par 4 where an army of gigantic heritage oak trees block the fairway and green. It takes some creativity to sneak safely over or around their towering trunks and limbs.

The monumental climb uphill to the final tee box begins at the par-5 13th hole. The two par 3s at these upper elevations -- the 215-yarder at no. 14 and the 202-yarder at no. 17 -- are scary good. The 434-yard 16th hole sports its own fun downhill tee shot.

With the theatrics on no. 18, golfers end on an exhilarating high every time.
