Design Your Tree Golf Course

Look around your property and locate nine trees that are about 50 - 200 feet apart.  Start to imagine them as a golf course.  Sketch it out on paper with proposed tee boxes for each hole. Then play the proposed course with a five iron and wiffle ball.  Determine par for each hole and make final adjustments to your design.

Once the course meets your approval, have friends and neighbors play a few rounds on your new Tree Golf course.  See if they have any suggestions for improving the course design.

Place your tee box markers and tree number markers. Finally, make a score card for your course (see pictures below). Use this link and follow the instructions for getting your course TGPA certified.  ..... HAVE FUN!
