Unusual locations for golf courses

[BHoover]

There's no way a course like Moundbuilders could be built today because of the historic nature of the mounds. The mounds are estimated to be as much as 3000 years old.

The club website has a link to some great old photos of the course from the 1920s. Unfortunately, the "old" course was remodeled in the '60s.

Unfortunately Mena House seems to be a new fangled thing, redeveloped:

Moundbuilders, well highlighted Ben and fabulous links Brian - earthworks maybe 3,000 yrs old, wow! Circa Painswick/Minch' Old fortifications age or thereabouts.


I looked at it on the satmap, here it is - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0536707,-82.4469744,16z/data=!3m1!1e3 - makes me wonder if it hadn't become a course would it be covered in buildings/houses/roads and the mounds/walls cut through or even no longer there?

Got to be Realp in Switzerland. Built on the side of a mountain that is seriously steep. When you take the Furka Pass Road you drive right through the middle of the course but you wouldn't know it.

There is also one way up in Zermatt or Saas-Fee also in Switzerland that is only played once a year in the (Eagle Cup?)
