Niall,

That's an interesting idea, I couldn't resist firing up Google Earth to take some measurements (All measurements approx +/- 5% roughly)

A few notable items:
- 5&13 isn't the largest green on the course, its actually 8&10
- Smallest green - 17 at ~7,500 sq feet
- The perimeter of 7&11 is a massive 855 feet, that's almost 3 soccer pitches/football fields in length if laid in a straight line
- Total green area on course - 243,200 sq feet!   :o   As a reference point, Pebbles greens sit at about 60,000 sq feet total.
- Avg. green size - 13,500

Hole     Sq Feet
  1        10,600
  9        15,200
  17       7.500
  18       15,500
2&16    19,800
3&15    26,100
4&14    23,700
5&13    34,900
6&12    28,600
7&11    24,800
8&10    36,500

P.S.  I'm unaware of any course that even comes close to this in overall sq. footage of greens area

They estimate Old Mac's greens at around 280,000 sf.

Perhaps I'll try that next.  Thanks Sven
