Abstract: A golf course is laid out around a central core with the individual golf holes extending radially from the core. The core comprises a plurality of substantially rigid vertical panels, topped by panels of wire mesh or the like. Mirror images of the holes are drawn or displayed on the vertical panels and traps and water hazards on the panels are provided with a plurality of pins or spikes extending therefrom. The potting cup image on the panel may take the form of an aperture permitting a hole-in-one to be scored. A light weight practice ball is used to tee off and is driven against the vertical panel whereupon it rebounds onto the grass at which time a regular ball is substituted for chipping and putting. If the practice ball strikes a hazard on the panel, it is held by the spikes and penalty shots can be taken. This arrangement allows a golf course to be laid out in a relatively small area yet still retaining full action for the game.
