Expectations are that it will “peg-out” the slope factor meter . . . at the max 155 . . . 8^0 . . .

Each hole has 6 tees, ranging from Kids to Championship . . .

3 Nines: Meadow, River & Forest.

Elevation change from the lowest point on the River 9 to the highest point on the Meadow 9, is ~120 meters.

Tomas Malec, Sport & Marketing Manager, told us that when the rating committee evaluated the course,

They said they usually spend about 10 minutes per hole,

But at Panorama they spent 45 minutes per hole . . . I can imagine, after a short tour.

2016 British Open -- Royal Troon -- Postage Stamp Hole

tee shot is a little intimidating, the fairway is so narrow and sloping right-to-left . . . a perfect shot to the right side of the fairway will stay

2nd shot likely to be from bottom of one of two bowls on the left . . . three red copper beeches mark 100 - 150 - 200 yds from green;

green is protected by its uphill position, elevated surfaces, 3 steep tiers, sand in front, just as sort of a target, and a large tree front-right

uses natural topology thru-out. the high points are used for the Back Tees and for the green complex; the left side has two big bowls that will draw careless shots down into even more challenging approaches
480 yd hole from back tees, uphill, against prevailing wind, very, very tough.
