The Scandinavian Golf Club's two new courses - the Robert Trent Jones Callaway X-24 Hot IronsJunior-designed Old and New - have been attracting serious attention and have been included in Golf World magazine's top 100 courses in Europe for the first time.The Old sprints past a raft of established courses to appear at No.15, while Ping G15 Hybridthe New enters at No.34. Les Bordes and Morfontaine in France are top of the list with Royal Dutch Hague in third ahead of Royal Zoute (Belgium), Paris Nationale and Valderrama in Spain.Optical illusions are part of the Old Course design. For example, on 10th hole two bunkers from the Discount Golf Clubstee seems to be fused in one large, challenging area while on the 17th the landing area appears much narrower than it really is.The New Course has also been under construction since 2006 and opened earlier this year, demanding TaylorMade R11 Ironsaccuracy from the tee with the 588-metre 12th hole the signature hole.
