Quirky courses

[howbow88]

Weird, bizarre, different, whatever term you want to use. What are the more unique courses that you have played?

Mine are probably the Mountain Course at La Quinta and Seaford Head's last 6 or so holes.

The addington is quirky

Breadsall priory-there are about 4 consecutive right angle doglegs.

A course I detest!

The addington is quirky

That's being polite.

I found Puttenham to fit the quirky description perfectly

Nearly every hole has a blind tee AND approach shot. Add in the wind and it's a proper head scratcher. In amazing condition to boot.

Shiskine is always good if you like quirky.

Souillac Golf & Country Club in the Dordogne.
Very short, quite hilly, and incredibly tight.
On many holes you'll either lose your ball or make par - about a 50/50 chance either way.

The 17th is the stupidest par 3 I've ever played.
It's only about 100 yards, but the green (which has savage drop offs to the side and behind) isn't visible from the tee.
If you miss it your ball is history.

One German couple we played with had a dog with them, and whenever they stuck one in the cabbage the hound was released to sniff it out.
I did wonder whether that might be against the rules of golf.

I played this last year and the old 9 is decidedly quirky but all the more fun for that. I really enjoyed .t

Prestwick st.nicholas and irvine bogside are pretty quirky. Old prestwick is also quirky in parts

Have to say I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped. Thought the greens were superb though

What's quirky about it for those of us that haven't played it.

Think it’s a good test of course management

Would certainly try to play it again but a few too many silly dog legs

Bramshaw forest course in the new forest, Hampshire. It’s on common land so you’re on the golf course along with cows, horses, deer and whatever else wanders in. When I played most of the greens were roped off to stop hoof prints on the green. Never sure if you were on the fairway or not but great fun and totally different.

Perranporth is quirky, but loved it. Castle course St Andrews has quirky greens.

This was my take on The Addington https://viewfromthe19th.com/?p=282

Las Ramblas.

The guy in the pro shop said "Have you played here before", when I replied no, he said "Well, it's different......"

Great course though, but you can't see the outcome of your tee shot on so many holes.

Not one to play if you struggle with keeping it straight.
