World's Longest Golf Course?!!  email this discussion to a friend?

Yes, you are right and if this idea ever come to fruit, it will indeed find its' way to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Just how long is it?

At the current proposed, it will be 850 miles which is about 1368 kilometers, which is many times the normal course averaging 7 kilometers. A normal average course takes about 4 hours to complete and this humongous one will be taking DAYS to complete.

Nullabor Links upon completion will be stretching across the outback from South Australia into Western Australia. No kidding and laughing matter. But as an avid golfer I have my reservations here and I am wondering if the Environmentalist Groups will be sharing the same concerns and sentiments that I have here. The management of the property will definitely be quite a task here. The resources to both manage and maintain is certainly no trivial matter. Just how are they going to maintain and control the cost? Besides, it will be quite wasteful if the land can be used for better use instead of this huge golf course. Playing golf with so much distractions of attractions isn't my idea of safe and enjoyable. I just beg to differ and hold my reservations.

Care to share?

I would think they would be concerned with safety issues as well. To provide security or medical attention if needed?

andalond,

I do not know if you are aware of what the price of golf clubs are going around your vicinity but I am going to assume with some sound assurance that it is anything BUT cheap. Well, you may want to take it that exclusiveness, ambiance, private and social status are the predominant factors to the sky high prices. However, let's not forget that a large percentage of that money is actually going into the maintenance of the golf course and I am wondering how these people actually do their maths here.

Even if they want to use astro (artificial) turf and what not synthetics. The outlay of landscaping, irrigation, course management and game management for this course is definitely no small feat or easy. I am just wondering who will be picking up the over cost tab here. The government? I hope not as I am sure the money could be more well spent somewhere else, especially when everyone and everywhere is recovering from the recent economic crisis.

So much space or rather land is being used and it is as though there is no better use for them. As far as I am concern, above the security and health issues you mentioned, I just do not see eye to eye with them here. Developing it will just bring about catastrophic problems at the end of the day.

Cheerio.
