Just outside Toronto is made up of mostly replica holes of famous golf holes. Its a premium course, believe usually in the 200 range and includes cart, range, and dinner after the round. Has holes from Augusta, St. Andrews, Sawgrass, Pine Valley and more. The closest many of us will get to playing the real thing. It even has a replica Augusta national scoreboard.

On an island near Portland, ME. Signature hole is a par 3 where you tee off from the ferry dock across the water. 4 holes cross a road where cars park for the ferry. Very cool experience.

The Shattuck Public Golf Course

Target golf through tough terrain. Not much room for error. One summer I got down to a 2-3 HC and went up there and posted an 88 first time out. It’s just a really hard course. I just looked at the scorecard and they shortened the course by 1,000 yards at the tips and slope used to be like 155 and it’s 142 from the tips now. It used to be brutal but honestly it’s still a fun course to play. It’s at the base of Mt Monadnock so the views are awesome. Check it out

A solid 18 hole par 61 course in a cranberry bog. Bring some extra balls for some great target golf. Very fun course in a great area.
Yale Golf Course
New Haven, CT
$75-$125

Not for the entire course, but for one hole. The par-3 9th hole, Biarritz. The green measures about 65 feet front-to-back, with a 5 foot deep swale running right across the middle of it. The pin will be either in front or in back of that swale, and woe betide the golfer who puts their tee shot on the wrong half. Or god forbid, in the bottom of the swale. Few other holes can put you in a situation where you think "I HOPE I can get out of here with a three putt."
Skyway Golf Course
Jersey City, NJ
$26-$91
-
Built amidst the old twisted metal of the bridges around Jersey City. It’s in incredible shape, is a cool course comprised of 3 par 4s, 3 par 5s, and 3 par 3s. You feel like you are playing golf during the Industrial Revolution
Stone Harbor Golf Club
Cape May Court House, NJ
$50-$129

While they removed the island bunkers there are all sort of other crazy bunkers and features including a crescent moon shaped hole par 3 where the tee box is a continuous narrow strip to a tiny perched green around a gully making the moon shape. They also have several “NES Golf” style holes with island tee boxes to island fairways (at-least one with multiple) to island or semi island greens. Also. To top it all off it’s right next to the Atlantic Ocean so the wind is brutal.
