World's Largest Golf Course To Be 1400km Long

OUTBACK councils have unveiled plans to open the world's largest golf course along the Eyre Highway.

The scheme will convert the Nullarbor Plain into a 1400km sandtrap.

Councils along the length of the Nullarbor, including Ceduna, have approved construction of the course. They hope it will induce tourists to slow down and appreciate what is regarded as one of the most desolate environments in Australia.

The plan is to build one hole at each of the 18 towns and roadhouses (petrol stations) dotted along the Nullarbor section of the Eyre Highway. Collectively, they would be known as Nullarbor Links.

There will be seven holes in South Australia, from Ceduna to the West Australian border.
