Fore! Unique Golf Courses
1. Home on the Range
Wild Horse Golf Club; Gothenburg, Neb.
As private as Tiger Woods’ PIN number, this prairie-like course was
rated the #1 course under $50 by Golf Magazine. The closest city may be
Lincoln, 180 miles west, but golfing this magnificent and cheap ($38 on
weekends) course deserves a battle cry heard for miles.

2. Green Golf
Old Works Golf Course; Anaconda, Mont.
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, this eco-friendly course compliments its
green with black slag, a by-product of the copper smelting process –
appropriate since the course was built on an old copper smelter. What
was once one of America’s largest wastelands is now a guilt-free and
gorgeous golf destination.

3. From Raceway to Fairway
Brickyard Crossing Golf Course; Indianapolis, Ind.
Golfers, start your cart’s engine! You’ll want to rev up to golf this
course that boasts a
four-hole loop on the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Nothing against a serene game of golf, but this course closes each year
for the Indy 500, the U.S. Grand Prix and the Allstate 400.

4. Unsinkable Links
The Coeur d’ Alene Resort Golf Resort; Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho
Deemed among the most beautiful and best-conditioned layouts anywhere,
this course is hardly a soggy choice. A floating, moveable island,
reachable only by boat shuttle, is the perfect, unique setting for a
golf course. And if you feel like getting stranded on a desert island,
you can find resort accommodations here as well.
