The 18-hole course Old Course was established in 1764 at St Andrews, Scotland and has existed under its name since 1895. In 2009, Nullarbor Links , the world's longest golf course spanning 1,365 kilometres, was established along the Eyre Highway , in Australia.
In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too short and therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11 to nine so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes. Due to the status of St Andrews as the 'home of golf', other courses followed suit and the 18-hole course became the standard which has remained to the present day.
