Birmingham, AL - Honours Golf is pleased to announce FarmLinks Golf Club has been recognized in Golfweek's "Top 40 New Courses" in its June 18, 2005 issue. Honours Golf manages this public-access facility located southeast of Birmingham in Sylacauga, Alabama.

The top 40 new golf courses, (courses opened in 2003-04) were selected by Golfweek's "America's Best" raters. Criteria was based on shot values, resistance to scoring, design variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning, ambience, and a "walk in the park" test.

"FarmLinks is one of the most unique golf courses in the nation. It serves as a "living laboratory" for the turf care industry and golfers experience some of the latest turf innovations throughout their round. The course is in superb condition and the design incorporates some of the most picturesque views in Alabama," said Bob Barrett, CEO of Honours Golf. "We're absolutely thrilled that it has been recognized as one of the best new courses by Golfweek's expert panel."

FarmLinks Golf Club at Pursell Farms was rated No. 29 in the Golfweek's "Top 40 New Courses" and received a rating of No. 5 in Golfweek's "State-By-State Public Access Courses" in Alabama earlier this year.

Located southeast of Birmingham, FarmLinks Golf Club is touted as the world's first research and demonstration golf course, created by the Pursell family to test products, conduct research and educate golf course superintendents. Designed by Hurdzan-Fry, this 18-hole championship course stretches 7,444 yards from the back tees with multiple tees to accommodate golfers of all levels. It offers a diverse layout with striking views of the mountains and lakes on Pursell Farms and features dramatic elevation changes including the 210-yard, par-3 that drops 158 feet to an 8,400 square-foot green.
