Deck Chair has compiled pictures and videos of seven unique golf courses, including one that floats, one that sits astride a motor speedway, and another that is 1,365 km long. Pictured above is a scene from the golf course at Coober Pedy, a small mining town in Australia. The land is so desolate that golfers must carry around a piece of turf from which to tee off.

When my parents were in Saudi Arabia in the early 60s, there was a golf course for the Americans. Since it was Saudi Arabia, the greens were covered in asphalt rather than grass. On hot days, the asphalt would soften, so there was a rake to smooth it out for the next players.
