Tour the Olympic Golf Course
By: Golfshake Editor | Tue 09 Aug 2016
Golf makes its returns to the Olympic Games this week after an absence of 112 years in Rio. The months leading up to the event haven't gone anywhere near as smoothly as would have been hoped, but 120 players are in Brazil and set to compete on an intriguing course designed by Gil Hanse, the man behind Castle Stuart in Scotland.
Golf Digest have released a video discussing the course and impressions of it. Positivity and praise is becoming a theme.
