ABSTRACT:
A compact golf course is disclosed which, in one embodiment, simulates a conventional nine hole golf course. By playing on this compact course a golfer can approximate all of the swings that he personally would have required in order to play nine holes of golf on a conventional course. Yet, that player need only walk the length of one conventional fairway.
The compact golf course comprises a single common elongate fairway and a single common target green at one end of the fairway. A plurality of hitting positions are disposed radially with respect to the target green and are spaced peripherally along one side of the length of the fairway as well as along the end of the fairway opposite to the end where the target green is located. A common putting green is disposed adjacent the fairway near the hitting position located closest to the target green. The fairway is divided into zones by arcuately extending ribbon switches which are responsive to a golf ball passing thereover and generate a visual signal at the hitting positions.
