World’s longest golf course to open in Australia

Posted by: MilesSmiles on 14 July 2009

Read this earlier in our local paper - I like the idea but not sure if I'll ever get a chance to play it.

'The world’s longest golf course, stretching along 1,365 kilometers (848 miles) of desert highway with holes at 18 towns and service stations, is to open in Australia this year, organizers said Tuesday.

The Nullarbor Links, which will span two time zones and measure more than the entire length of Britain, is expected to be completed next month and will host its inaugural tournament on October 22.'

"Our feasibility study, which was done a couple of years ago, suggested that 26,000 people would play the course in its first year. We're very confident there'll be a lot more people."
