;D That is some golf course!
haven't seen that yet but did have a look at the new Marsh golf course in Kalgoorlie yesterday. Looks like it could be a great addition to WA golf

I'll post some if/when I get my SD card back. It appears that it may have a virus and IT guys have it in lock down at the moment.

The course is different to anything I've seen here with the holes having no rough, its fairway or desert. The red desert soil is not bad to play from in summer, winter may be an issue.

You would think like the rest of Kalgoorlie it would be a dead flat site, but its got some nice elevation changes in it.

As people will see, its certainly not the longest golf course per se, but the walk between green and the next tee will be a real bitch! 200 or more kilometres in places. Essentially one hole in each of the small settlements across the Nullarbor Plain. No architect involved I believe.
