What's really cool about this property is that they have their own nine hole golf course! It's not a long course but has all the bells and whistles of a regular course. It's a whimsical course with hole markers , decorations and benches. The family has their own tournament and they can golf a round anytime they feel like it. No worries about tee times. Just drive to the farm with your clubs. When their Aunty still lived in the house , they had a club house. Aunty always served up something special. I remember enjoying one of her brunches.
Since this is a farming family they use farming as a theme for things on the course.
I'll bet no course has a cultivator shovel for a yardage marker.
The moose is the tee off place.
And if you get tired there's always a comfortable bench.
A fairway starts beside the field.
It's very beautiful there. One can have fun birding or golfing or maybe both on one day if you have a lot of energy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very enjoyable place and was more so when Dorothy lived there.
DeleteIKt is a funny course with lots of humor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoy just walking around.
Deletea fun course to have. As a kid we had one going through our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's lots of fun and you'd never have to wait for a tee time.
Deletecertainly more interesting things than your typical golf course
ReplyDeleteIt's a very laid back relaxing place.
DeleteHow interesting, and what a neat golf course. Thanks for the great pictures and commentary about this place, Red. :-)
ReplyDeleteFor a private course , it's pretty well done.
DeleteCool decor there- especially that old cart!
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to tell what kind of cart it is.
DeleteWhat's your golfing handicap Red?
ReplyDeleteMinus 17??? Now tell me what this means!
DeleteIt does seem unusual to have a golf course and a farm. My dad would be plowing land and planting corn. Your machinery makes me thing of our southern Iowa farm.
ReplyDeleteThis was a large family so nieces nephews, aunts, uncles...there were many people who would play.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I bet they have fun there.
ReplyDeleteI think they had many get togethers.
DeleteWhat a fun place!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that the tournaments were fun with weird prizes!
DeleteDo they let outsiders play on this golf course. I don't golf but it looks like it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical is the word!
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun to always have your own private golf course available.
ReplyDeleteIt might even make me learn how to golf.
I would probably take a liking to golf if all golf courses had as much character and charm as this one!
