The highest par Golf course in the world is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Club in Lijiang, China. It is a par-72 course located at an elevation of over 10,000 feet above sea level and is known for its breathtaking views and challenging play.
I think the maximum is par 36 for each nine holes. I play a par 35 course, have played a par 34 course, but know of none above 36. There actually are some par 74 courses, which is 37 on each nine. I play a course that is par 72 but the front nine is 35 and the back is 37. The SAS Masters, played at Baresback Golf & Country Club in Malmo Sweden is a par 73 golf course.
(Peter Hanson was the first home based (Swedish) winner in 2008
