Eighteen holes in 900 miles
Fans of golfing holidays take note – approval has reportedly been given for the longest course in the world, stretching some 900 miles across the Australian outback. According to the Daily Telegraph, the course will cross two time zones, two Australian states and what is generally considered to be some of the toughest terrain in the world – the legendary Nullarbor Plain. The course, which starts in Perth and finishes in Adelaide, involves playing holes at a series of “roadhouses” – desert Australia’s equivalent of the service station – with up to 180 miles between each hole. Playing the whole 18-hole course could take several days. The Telegraph reports that the greens, which are in fact brown, will be made of a mixture of sand and oil, while hazards will include “wandering kangaroos, venomous snakes, some inconveniently-placed gum trees and the occasional dust storm”.
