Dolly Potter MD 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I couldn't play the game myself. The smallest errors in technique are magnified, and are duly punished to the extreme. It's a sport whose learning curve is too steep, for my volatile [sports related] temper. But i do admire the design element of the sport - course layout, and the scenery which frames a course over a time. Augusta National is the greatest example of maturation of a golf course ie. the framing of the course over time, by it's natural surrounds. Here's a course [located in Australia, NSW] often labeled 'the closest thing to Augusta National', Bonville International.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 In Wigan and Warrington there are some golf courses that are monuments of unparalleled beauty. I have not seen the great wonders of the world, but I can't imagine they could be more breathtaking than these sights: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Leopard Creek in Mpumalanga, South Africa. I don't do golf or golf courses but I stayed at the Pestana Kruger Lodge which was opposite this course and the surroundings are stunning. It's on the border of the Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River and it's just an amazing place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolly Potter MD 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Augusta National's separate par 3 course [9 holes, i think] is supposed to be very picturesque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
