Abstract
The present invention provides new golf courses and new methods of playing golf. The golf course has a golf ball hitting area used for a plurality of golf holes. A plurality of target greens are spaced at various distances from the golf ball hitting area. A target chipping area is provided adjacent the golf ball hitting area. A putting green is also adjacent the golf ball hitting area. A variety of simulated hazards, such as water hazards and sand traps, may be provided on the golf course. The golf course may be portable. The golf course is played by selecting a target green and shooting for the selected target green. The distance the golf ball traveled is subtracted from the distance to the target green and the remaining distance is used to select the next target green to complete the golf hole.
