Tobacco Road Golf Club
Sanford, NC

Every shot seems to be a blind one, very gimmicky, forces amateur golfers to take/make shots they wouldn’t normally take. Lots of fun and an experience for sure! I’d totally recommend it!
Tot Hill Farm Golf Club
Asheboro, NC
$70

Another Strantz course like Tobacco Road, but much cheaper and less crowded. Awesome and fun track.
Smoky Mountain Country Club
Whittier, NC
$36-$70
-
Crazy mountain golf with some very bizarre holes
Sweetens Cove Golf Club
South Pittsburg, TN
$30-$175
-
There’s “secret holes” too, or rather alternative ways to play the course. There’s an “Illuminati course” which consists of things like playing from a tee box that the No Laying Up pod guys set up at their house across the road from the 1st green (par 5 then played as par 3). You can also bid on driving Payton Mannings golf cart for the day. I went with a group of 8 and we were teeing off 8-wide and played match play scramble all day
Lightening Bug Golf Club
Triune, TN
-
-
It is a weird but extremely charming little spot. 9 hole par 3 course that a guy runs on his private property. He has a cash box where you drop your green fees and go play. Completely honor system, it’s largely to encourage youth to pick the sport up. Really cool mission but totally random and strange honestly
Gaitlinburg Golf Course
Gaitlinburg, TN
$30-$75
-
Designers built holes in just the oddest places possible. Off cliffs. Up cliffs. In valleys where the fairway is 5 yards wide. Just weird.
The Creek Club
Greensboro, GA
Private

One of the funnest rounds of golf I’ve ever played.
Boiling Springs Golf Club
Woodward, OK
$20-$50
-
This one is pretty weird.
South Lakes Golf Course
Tulsa, OK
$10-$44
-
It is adjacent to the busiest airport in the state. Airplanes are constantly landing and taking off right above you
Willie Nelson's Cut and Putt
Austin, TX
-
-
Willie Nelsons Pedernales Ranch in Austin qualifies as weird. It’s totally casual and completely run down but Willie suppliments the course to keep it open.
The Quarry Golf Course
San Antonio, TX
$49-$94
-
Entire back 9 is in an old rock quarry. You can see every hole from the top and then less and less as you play down into the bowl, then more as you play back up.
