Getting the longest best drive
Updated 3 years ago by Gamedraco

The Best Drive is the longest drive you can get on the course, and there are few things that go into making these insanely long drives.

  1. It has to be a tee shot: The longest shots are always the first tee shot.

  2. The length of the hole: Your best bet for the longest drive on average is one of the 4 par 5 holes on each course, though some of the longest par 4 holes can also work and sometimes are better than the par 5 holes.

  3. The Wind: You need an extremely strong tailwind (Boo showing most to all of its backside) to drive the longest possible distance.

  4. The ball needs to be in full top spin (angled at the bottom of the ball): This will launch the ball the highest.

  5. If the character has a sharp fade (DK), angle the spin to the bottom right. If the character has a sharp draw (Mario, Bowser, Metal Mario) angle the spin to the bottom left: This will result in a straighter, higher, and longer drive than normal using these characters.

  6. The course from tee ground to fairway and/or green has to have a downward slope: A downward slope will result in longer drives.

  7. The character has to be Metal Mario: Metal Mario drives significantly farther than even 2nd place Bowser due to being the longest driving character, and his extreme degree of spin can make for an extremely straight and high trajectory to take full advantage of strong tailwinds.

Best Hole/s for Best Drives for each course if you get lucky with everything.

Toad Highlands: Holes 4 and 9

Koopa Park: Holes 2, 5, and 15

Shy Guy Desert: Hole 9

Yoshi's Island: Holes 8, 16, and 18

Boo Valley: Hole 7

Mario's Star: Hole 3

If all of these get lined up, you will have the best chance at getting the longest drive. However, if you land an extremely strong tailwind on any long Par 4 or Par 5 hole and are not doing a speed golf run, take full advantage of the strong tailwind to drive the longest distance you can. Odds are good you will still make a best drive in that situation.
