Today we played some golf at a course billed as, "Probably the most unique golf course in the world." That is a bold claim, but it certainly was a different kind of golf course.
It was listed as an 18 hole course, but had only 10 greens. 8 of those greens were used for multiple holes, you'd simply tee off at a shorter or longer tee box. For example, number 1 was something like a 175 yard par 3 to a well protected green. Number 10 was about 155 yards to the same green. Only one of the holes used both 2 sets of tee boxes and 2 greens (but still shared the fairway).
Needless to say, this was a bit weird, but worked out well actually, especially since it wasn't busy at all.
Before learning about this characteristic of the course we had already decided to only play the front 9, which I guess meant we got a pretty good idea of what the back 9 would have been. When all was said and done Mel really only played the front 7 1/2 holes. We had agreed that if we lost all the balls we bought to start with we'd call it a day. I finished up with only one ball left, Mel's last one ended up as fish food on the 8th hole.
To add to the weird course layout there were also 2 trams one had to use to climb up between holes. Don't really know what to say about these. There were trains. On a golf course. It was weird.
