Those familiar with the heathlands will easily recognise the inspiration here...!???
Again, I came to like the slightly surreal nature of the interpretation!
Note the floodlights, more of which later...
That has to be the thickest heather I've ever seen. No wonder a drop is available.
To me the random nature of the lie you get in heather adds to it's allure. Sometimes you can get a good look at the ball but often you are tempted to try more than is prudent. Judging by the above pic. you'd just be lucky to find it?
Can't see that other courses in the area will be rushing to add it?
I've enjoyed the thred without thinking I must go...
I've been to Turkey twice and had the opposite reaction to Sean, I found it a most wellcoming and interesting place. The history and architecture from Istanbul to Ephesus is wonderful.
But as for Golf in Southern Spain, Portugal and Turkey I think of them as places for the shoulder seasons, i.e not worth it in November to January and too hot July to September. In the other months I'm happy to take my chances with golf at home. However my other half and I don't go on golfing holidays and so part of the appeal is lost on me.
