What Defines Mountain Golf?
What gives mountain golf its character, from the look of the holes to the shots they quietly demand.
The look and the ask
Mountain Golf is shaped by elevation changes, sidehill stances, and thin-air carries. For mountain golf, the course asks you to match imagination with discipline, whether that means changing pace, flight, or target. A player who reads the ground first usually enjoys mountain golf more than a player who only sees the flag.
What changes for the golfer
