ABSTRACT:
A scaled-down golf course includes a plurality of golf holes, each hole including a first area designated as a driving tee, a second area provided as a putting surface and a fairway area located between the first and second areas. The course is adapted to be played with two types of balls, a fairway ball which is designed to resist long flight when struck by a golf club and a putting ball which is designed to have normal golf ball characteristics when chipped and putted. A stripe is provided at a designated distance from the periphery of each putting surface for indicating when the putting ball is to be substituted for the fairway ball. The use of red, white, yellow and orange balls by golfers participating in this game is preferred so they can readily identify their ball by the chosen color. The fairway area has a length which is scaled-down relative to the length of a fairway of a normal sized golf course by a factor which is the ratio of the distance the fairway ball can be driven relative to the distance a normal golf ball can be driven.
