Kinda cool and its solar powered

**padlabtard** · 04-27-2011, 12:23 AM

Awesome, I would play that course./

**vernotixas** · 04-27-2011, 12:26 AM

That is crazy cool!!! And I thought the floating green was amazing

**Pypeassesty** · 04-27-2011, 12:32 AM

I would sooo play that!!

**palantownia** · 04-27-2011, 01:36 AM

Wow I would lose a lot of golf balls there

Yeah, but it would be a blast.

**Phouepou** · 04-27-2011, 01:58 AM

Sweet! I'd love to see a tour event there.

**SOgLak** · 04-27-2011, 02:00 AM

Great- another really cool course that I will never play!

Its a really cool idea. I have seen other places that are doing underwater hotels but never a floating golf course.
Kinda makes #17 at TPC Sawgrass look mundane!

**GoodLover** · 04-27-2011, 02:12 AM

Wow, if they can pull it off for 500 mil it'll be a miracle and worth playing in that case.

**exhibeKed** · 04-27-2011, 02:26 AM

cart girl had better carry lots of balls for sale

**Kimmitmelvirm** · 04-27-2011, 02:29 AM

That would be a very unique golfing experience!

**ballingham** · 04-27-2011, 02:41 AM

I think that would be so cool to play, but I know it will cost much more than I would be willing to pay.

**Kimaamighed** · 04-27-2011, 03:16 AM

Yup, my first reaction was "that's not going to be cheap"

**StevenS** · 04-27-2011, 03:29 AM

Haha, that looks completely insane. The tunnels between holes look pretty fun!

**SOgLak** · 04-27-2011, 03:40 AM

I bet they could get a large amount of that money back by finding a host for an event on the European Tour.
The novelty of the course would help in finding a title sponsor and likely even a strong field! Heck, the country is willing to drop 500 mill on the course alone- they could sponsor the tournament themselves. Whats another 20 mil anyways?

Rich americans would FLOCK to the course after seeing the pro's play it. 2-3 good years of tournaments and tourism boost and the cost might be back down inline with a normal golf course (design wise)

**Kimaamighed** · 04-27-2011, 03:43 AM

That course is going to have to be on the look out for pirates in those waters

**Jalieteplalry** · 04-27-2011, 04:13 AM

Looks sweet, I would think it would only be a par 3 course, I couldn't see them making a full out 7000 yard course.

**padlabtard** · 04-27-2011, 04:56 AM

I think they would have to, to make people come and play. I would imagine it will be a full championship type course or there is no point in doing it.

Jeez I just don't understand how this is completely going to work.. what about shipping/recieving? Building the pro shop/club house... emergency? Making something right flat out in the middle of nowhere just seems really tough to consider situations besides the golf.
