婆羅洲高爾夫鄉村俱樂部簡介:(林克斯風格傑克尼克勞斯設計:林克斯球場是一種常見於沿海地區的高爾夫球場,其特點是由風、雨和大海塑造的自然地形。)
婆羅洲高爾夫鄉村俱樂部距離亞庇約 70 公里,沿著波弗特高速公路一小時車程,坐落在南中國海的邊緣。這座婆羅洲高爾夫球場採用經典的傑克·尼克勞斯 (Jack Nicklaus) 設計,佔地 900 英畝,場地廣闊,有潟湖、毗鄰的平地、荒地和大型沙坑。
毫無疑問,尼克勞斯是世界上最偉大的高爾夫球手,也是最多產和最受歡迎的設計師之一,他利用天然潟湖來戲劇性地表現了前九洞大部分洞的水流效果。周圍的美景使得在後九洞與猛烈海風作鬥爭的同時專注於高爾夫是一項挑戰。湖泊、戰略性沙坑、快速果嶺以及始終存在的風及其“半林克斯設計理念”,所有這些都使婆羅洲高爾夫鄉村俱樂部成為馬來西亞所有高爾夫球手的理想打球場所。
Borneo Golf & Country Club Jack Nicklaus design
Links style: a type of golf course typically found in coastal areas and characterized by natural terrain that has been shaped by wind, rain and the sea. The term "links" (from the Scottish word hlinc, which means "rising ground" or "ridge") refers to the landform on which many links courses are built
The Borneo Golf & Country Club is located about 70 kilometers from Kota Kinabalu or an hour's drive along the Beaufort Highway sitting on the edge of the South China Sea. This Borneo golf course is a classic Jack Nicklaus design that plays on a vast 900-acre site of lagoons, adjoining flatlands, waste areas and massive bunkers.
Nicklaus, undoubtedly, the world's greatest golfer and one of the most prolific and sought-after designers used a natural lagoon to dramatize the effect of the water carries on most of the holes on the front nine. The beauty of the surroundings makes it challenging to focus on golf while battling stiff ocean winds on the back nine. The lakes, strategic bunkers, fast greens and the ever-present wind with its 'semi-links design concept' all add up to make Borneo Golf & Country Club a good play for any golfer in Malaysia.
