world s largest golf bunker

This is the hottest news coming right now about the world's largest golf bunker. Read below to get more info.

The Open Course was designed by Peter Thomson, the five-time British Open champion, specifically to host the Australian Open. At 6,829 metres from the black tees, this championship links course boasts a natural stadium layout with wide undulating fairways of pure couch grass -- punctuated with pot bunkers -- and features large multi-tiered greens. At 5,881 from the white tees this course can be enjoyed by golfers of all levels.
The Open Course has played host to the 2003 and 2005 Australian Open Golf Championship, and has been contracted to host Australia's National Championship five more times in the coming years. Similarly, the Open Course hosted the Moonah Classic in 2008 and 2009 -- a Nationwide Tour event with a prize purse of $850,000.00 -- one of the largest ever offered on the tour. The Moonah Classic is the only event on Australian soil that is co-sanctioned with the Nationwide Tour. The aforementioned events, all telecast internationally, have cemented Moonah Links' profile on the world's golf stage as arguably one of the premier golf resorts in Australia.
