Hello friends!

My name is Josh and some call me “Barbecue.” I love golf and exploring new courses. As I searched the internet, I found all of these “best of” course lists. And while those lists and filled with courses that are bucket list, stunning, most are expensive, inaccessible, or intimidating to new or high handicap players. I’ve loved playing those courses, but I felt as though I was a guest there. I wanted to find courses where I felt like I belonged. That urge led me on a journey to find these “other” or “weird” courses. 

So what is a weird course? Well, first when I say “weird” I do not mean any offense and truly mean it as a badge of honor. I mean it in the absolute best ways. I love weird, I am weird, we are weird, and that weirdness is what makes us unique and awesome.

So when I said “weird” I guess I mean unique. The courses on this list are here because they a weird design, a weird feature, or it’s in a weird place. Some courses are perfectly “normal”, but then hit you with an out-of-this-world hole or feature. Some courses are weird because they were built in a unique place like Death Valley or up in the Northwest Territories. Some are weird because of their sand greens or lack of fairways. It’s all fair game because what is “weird” to me, might be normal for you and vice versa. 

This is a labor of love. This all started because I posed a question to Reddit and the community responded enthusiastically. I received over 400 responses and was blown away since it was my very first Reddit post. As I read through everyone’s comments, I thought it would be fun to organize them by region so those interested could explore the weird courses near them. So I created a spreadsheet and now this website. 

I love exploring new courses and hearing the stories of how they came to be. I want to highlight these amazing works of art and shine a spotlight on the ones that need some love. I want to talk to the people who created and care for them and hear their stories. I hope you will join me. 

If you have any edits to the information or you would like your course added or removed from our list, please email me at: Josh@weirdgolf.com

Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy reading about and exploring these courses as much as I do.

Sending good vibes,

BBQ
