ABSTRACT:
A compact golf course is disclosed which enables the game of golf to be played in an area which comprises approximately 10 percent of the conventional area required for a golf course, while still permitting a test of all skills necessary to play the game of golf. The golf course layout basically includes three "holes," the first of which is intended primarily as a test of the woods and long irons and has a plurality of teeing areas at one end and graded target areas at the opposed end. The hole is bounded by rough areas, and five balls are hit from pre-selected tee areas to the target area. The second "hole" is parallel to the first and is intended as a test of the middle and long irons and also has a plurality of tee areas and a graded target area, with five balls again being hit from pre-selected tees to the target area. The third "hole" actually consists of two identical "holes" arranged in end-to-end relationship with the second hole and, again, parallel to the first and is intended to be a test of the short irons, approach shots, and putting, with again balls being hit from five pre-selected positions to the green and with points being awarded on the basis of their landing location. Balls are then putted out, and points are awarded based upon the distance of the putts. The approximate length of the second and third holes equals that of the first so that the overall course layout is highly compact, while permitting all of the various strokes normally employed in a golf game to be utilized.
