Title: What is mountain golf?
Post by: Ryan Admussen on November 25, 2009, 11:26:43 PM

Is there a consensus of what mountain golf is on the board? Is it a course in a mountain setting like Banff or Jasper, or do you actually have to be playing on the side of a mountain like Chateau Whistler or Greywolf?

To me, mountain golf is not golf in the flat land next to a mountain. It must have uneven lies, upshill, down hill, and side hill. Chateau Whistler would be considered mountain golf, not the other
