Examples of golf courses that are about one square kilometre include: Manchester Golf Club, UK Northop Country Park, Wales, UK The Trophy Club, Lebanon, Indiana, US Qingdao International Country Golf Course, Qingdao, Shandong, China Arabian Ranches Golf Club, Dubai Sharm el Sheikh Golf Courses: Sharm el Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt Belmont Golf Club, Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia Other areas of one square kilometre or thereabouts The Old City of Jerusalem is almost 1 square kilometre in area.
