Drive the World’s Longest Golf Course 1,365 kms between South Australia and Western Australia
|
| July 2009: Golfers looking for the ultimate challenge should head for Australia this year and try out the Nullarbor Links Golf Course, the much-anticipated 18-hole par 72 course, officially the world’s longest golf course. |
 Stretching 1,365 kms from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia with one hole in each participating town or roadhouse, the Nullarbor Links Golf Course allows golfers to tee off in either location and follow the course along the Eyre Highway, playing a hole in each location, some as far as 100 kms apart.
Not only is this an epic golfing experience, the course also provides travellers with a quintessentially Australian driving experience as this is also one of the world’s greatest driving routes crossing dramatic landscapes ranging from rugged coastlines to the red, treeless dirt of the Nullarbor Plain where kangaroos, bush turkeys and emus roam free and southern right whales can be seen off the Head of Bight between June and October.
En route, golfers also get to visit little known towns and places of interest like Ceduna, renowned for producing 12 million oysters annually; Cocklebiddy with its vast underwater caves and Kalgoorlie, the gold capital of Australia with the largest open pit mine in the southern hemisphere.
The official course opening will be marked by a four-day event which will start in Ceduna on Thursday 22 October, finishing with a presentation in Kalgoorlie on Tuesday 27 October.
www.nullarborlinks.com will be providing news on the final stages of this mammoth project and will take expressions of interest from anyone wishing to be part of the opening tournament.
 Nullarbor Golf Tours will be running eight day tours from Adelaide to Kalgoorlie from A$2,635 per person (approx £1,300) based on twin share. Tours include accommodation, transfers between holes and meals. Golf clubs are available for use.
