It’s
not a typ-o-par 74 for an astounding back market
length of 7777 yard, thanks to the two endlessly
long par6. The two monster holes in question are the
4th and 13th, which weigh in at 855 and 857 yards
respectively. Moirhead has created a visually
stunning, sweeping layout that must rank among the
best new courses in the land of a thousand smiles.
St.
Andrews 2000, an uncompromisingly tough golf
course that will test even the best of golfers
to their limits.
Working
with a spectacular, undulating natural
topography, St. Andrews 2000 was built to
replicate the wind-swept Scottish links courses,
offering an uncompromising challenge aimed at
players with handicaps of 18 or lower. Opened at
the dawn of the Pacific Century, this course
will soon become known as one of Asia's true
championship courses. Desmond Muirhead created a
full 18 holes, 74 par of memorable golf,
featuring elevated tees and greens, tight
landing zones, split elevation fairways, huge
putting surfaces and two par 6's
The
Course demands a combination of both power and
accuracy, with the strategic positioning of
hazards forcing the player to remain focused on
each and every shot, as one mental error can be
very costly.
This is a touch, demanding course that will test
every club and trick in your bag, and leave you
with lots of stories to tell your friends about
a challenging round of golf that will create lasting
memories.
