Say goodbye to stroke play, along with all your preconceived notions about what a round of golf is supposed to be. Andy Staples' “The Match” is a golf course is a truly distinct golf experience that is destined to generate spirited conversation among golf course design enthusiasts for years to come, while also providing a canvas for players of all abilities to enjoy all the thrills of golf — albeit in a non-traditional setting. The Match Course combines classic golf course design principles with a radical take on format. Here you'll get to experience a modern twist on the “Template” holes that inspired golden age golf architecture's foremost names including Seth Raynor, C.B. MacDonald and Donald Ross. As far as competitive format, the intention is for you and your playing partners to engage in some type of match play, be it best ball, foursomes, skins, whatever. The hole's winner (or loser — again, you decide) gets to choose the tee location for the next hole, introducing a strategic element to the competition you won't find anywhere else. And if you're on a bit of a time crunch, not to worry. House rules dictate that players who are “out of the hole” are expected to pick up, meaning you can count on a fast round at 3 hours or less.If all of this sounds a little too out of the tee box for you, no problem: We've got four other 18-hole championship courses for you to bring out the pencils.
