The 'NEW ALBION' Golf Resort spans a scale model of the British Isles, with an 18 hole course on and around Great Britain, and the island of Ireland home to a hotel and residential complex, as well as a 9 hole short course.
It is built to scale of around 1:515, equivalent to an approx 2km long main island. Every tree and bush represents a specific town or city scaled to approximate population - apologies if I've missed your home town, it was probably in the middle of a fairway. Britain's lakes, rivers and beaches form the hazards. There are even some famous landmarks hidden around the place if you care look around.
Black tees: 8564m / 7857yd Gold tees: 6811m / 7424 yd
Video trailer and hole-by-hole guide below. I hope you enjoy it!

One of the best intro’s to a course I’ve seen. It would be great to have a map for each of the trees to know what city they represent. Not having traveled to UK it would be a great learning curve.

Thanks, Sandgroper! It was a lot of work, especially on the Playstation 4. I would have loved to be able to put custom signs on each of them as I laid them out... Some of them are relatively easy to remember, but there are a load around the Midlands that I'd be checking on a map myself...
