As seen on the results from Odense both the courses where difficult. But exactly how difficult where those courses. By using the PAR calculations in the Swedish HCP-online system we can now compare these courses with other known courses in the past years.

Felt course:

Odense 2009 : PAR = 30,9
Bad Munder 2003 : PAR = 29,2
Budapest 2007 : PAR = 28,0
Södertälje 2008 : PAR = 28,3

Eternit:

Odense 2009 : PAR = 22,9
Waldshut 2009 : PAR = 20,0
Lamego 2009 : PAR = 21,4
Bad Munder 2003 : PAR = 21,4
Timisoara 2004 : PAR = 22,8
Steyer 2005 : PAR = 21,2
Geldrop 2006 : PAR = 21,5
Canegrate 2007 : PAR = 23,6
Tampere 2008 : PAR = 20,2

So based on this the felt course are the toughest played in recent years and the eternit is the second toughest played. The high PAR for Canegrate is partly due to high results at the nations Cup in 2007. Only based on the WC in 2007 the PAR would be 22,7.

Worth noticing is that these PAR is calulated only based on players playing for Swedish clubs.
