ABSTRACT:
The structure includes a base surface which is divided up into a plurality of relatively narrow, substantially rectangular portions which are arranged in a substantially grid-like pattern. Each portion includes a putting green surface region which includes a hole adapted to receive a conventional golf ball. Nearly all of the portions include a combination of one or more of the following surface regions in addition to the putting green surface region: a water hazard region, a sand hazard region, a rough region, and a fairway region. Obstacles may be present in one or more portions and the terrain of the portions may vary. A starting area is provided on a selected one of the surface regions of each portion. Each portion resembles a narrow slice of the approach area to a putting green on a conventional golf course, thereby permitting the use of conventional golf clubs and strokes on the portions, in addition to the putter and putting stroke, by the player as he/she moves the ball from the starting area to the hole of each portion. The starting area for each portion may include number markers which designate various starting locations for the player within the starting area. A random number generator is provided to determine a player's starting location for each hole.
