Again, you are finding these too easy, but the screw will turn...

Mark, is this meant to be a reasonable course, because some of that bunkering looks exceptionally ordinary.

What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--

Water's on the wrong side I think, Michael.  Although they do seem flexible about such things over there.

Not Dubai, I'm afraid. I've not revolved the picture in any way.

Andrew, I have no clue whether this is a good, bad or indifferent course. I have never been to this continent. (No, it's not Antarctica!). It's a big name designer working in his own continent.

One possibility is Baja California, although I Google-flew the coasts last night and didn't see anything.

FWIW, we can agree by the roads and roundabouts it's a development course, but one not yet housed.

I also checked out Morocco and Namibia, on the off chance the Skeleton Coast was being graded for massive development.

Didn't see anything there, either!

This site had been a battle ground in a certain war between two countries which form the title of a well-known Handel oratorio famed for the number and distinction of its choruses and a bass duet 'The Lord is a Man of War' which is great fun to sing.

It took a while to find even with the clue, but it's The Cascades at Soma Bay in Egypt by Gary Player.

I suppose that sand held no fear for the man with the best bowel movement in golf. Cascades in Egypt.

Dang, I Google-flew the Egyptian coast a few days ago and missed it!

The course description on the website includes this gem:

"Principal features: Desert links course with extensive water hazards"
