Future killer course features green inside giant bowl of noodles?

If you are looking for some good golf entertainment look no further.  There is a new fantasy golf course being built by the largest golf resort in China.

MISSION-HILLS-HAIKOU_depth1

The course is a fantasy course with some very crazy hole concepts:

Great Wall

400 yard par-4 with a replica of the Great Wall of China lining the left side.

Panda

Bunkers shaped like pandas, surrounded by bamboo.

Mayan Ruins

Golf hole set amongst replicas of Mayan Ruins.

Bowl of Noodles

(Pictured) this is no 17th island green at the TPC Sawgrass!  This par-3 features a green inside a giant, 80 meter wide bowl of noodles complete with chopsticks!

"China is not hung up on tradition and is open to what some may say is ‘wacky’ stuff.  We have been determined to ensure the course will be a challenge. We want elite players to feel as though they have to play a good shot. It is just that the surrounds will be visually unconventional." ~course designer Brian Curley

The course will be open in 2014 at Mission Hills' Haikou Resort on China's southern island of Hainan.
