  I love stuff like this on the course. Better yet when they are in play. 17 at Fields Ferry has a great chimney in the bunker. Any photos?


    Thanks.........Anthony

Does this qualify. This is #2 at Wildflower GC Detroit Lakes,Mn. They left the original farmhouse and worked around it. Bunker is the old Root cellar.

What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--

Waterfront GC, near Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, has an old chimney in play on the 11th hole.

Ballyhack is incorporating two large silos into its clubhouse.

The ruins on Old Tabby Links are very cool, though not really in play.

A The Olde Farm, old hog fences were reassembled after construction.  I'm not sure if they're still there.

My post is useless without photos.

Great pictures, guys.  Thanks!

Anthony,
When I saw the thread title, I thought immediately of the chimney at Fields Ferry; glad you beat me to it, but I wish we had a picture to post.  That course is one of my favorites; a true hidden gem.  I was up there in March; $14 to walk on a weekday (senior rate  :().  I just love the place.

Graveyards have been done as a thread before, but still very interesting features on golf courses.

Brights Creek has an old mill water wheel next to the 17th or 18th tee (I forget which).  Sorry, I don't have pictures.

There's quite a bit of this at Fossil Trace in Golden, CO. (All photos linked from their official site)

On #1 there's an old chimney in the fairway



Hole 12 plays through these rock formations (the result of mining in the area, I believe):



Old shovel stands beyond the 14th green:



And a little more incorporated rock on 15:

Perfect.  Thanks, Brian!
