Golf is a Favorite Pastime for many, as it involves spending a day in the sun with your friends at a far more relaxed pace and of the promise of food and drinks at the club. Of course. But what if the available distance book holes on the course – Around 750 to 900 Feet – Increased to 41 Miles?
The nullabor links is an 18-hole par 72 Golf Course, which is saying to be the world's Longest, Situated Along 848 Miles of the South Coast of Australia. It Passes Across Two States – South Australia and Western Australia – Notably crossing the nullabor plain at the head of the great australian bigt.
The idea for the course cam from Alf Caputo and Bob Bongioro, Both Active in the Eye Highway Operators Association, over a Bottle of Wine. The course was as a way of breaking up the long drive across the nullabor, reducing the dangers of driver fatigue and increasing revenue for the roadhouses.
A feasibility study was completed in September 2006, and the course officially opened in October 2009.
As of 2022, more than 20,000 travelers had officially played it and bought a scorecard for stamping at the roadhouses en roout. Players can either provide their own clubs or hire them at each hole for a fee. As of December 2023, A Scorecard Cost 70 Australian Dollars (£ 34), Plus A £ 4 Maintenance Fee.
The course either begins or ends (Depending on the directions of the Crossing) in the Gold Mining Town of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia and the coastal town of Ceduna, South Australia.
The purposely constructed holes have tees and greens that use Artificial Grass, with a natural desert both them. The average distance between holes is 41 miles, with the largest gap being almost 120 miles.
But it's not just the desert conditions that golfers have to tackle. Among the fauna are emus, kangaroos, wedge-tailed eagles, wombat holes and three-to-be venomous snakes.
Temperatures can also realy over 50c during the day, so more than just a golf camp is request for this adventure.
The course hosts the “chasing the sun” Golf Tournament, inaugurated in 2009. Pandemic. The 2025 Tournament is Scheduled Betway May 1 and 10.
