The Most Unique Golf Course in the World

Most golf courses look the same: large, bright-green stretches of closely cropped lawns, flanked by lush vegetation and peppered with ponds and sand-filled bunkers. Golfers drive around the courses in golf carts. They pay their annual dues—often multiple thousands of dollars—to golf clubs, which foster an aristocratic playing experience, lending the sport its presidential connotation. Across the United States, golf is widely considered a rich man’s sport.


Not so with rez golf. The term refers to courses developed on Native American reservations, which often incorporate rugged terrain into their design and employ an open-door policy to anyone who wants to try the sport. The short documentary Rez Golf, directed by Charles Frank and produced by VICE and the KIMBA Group for Callaway, takes us deep into the heart of the Navajo Nation to meet the founders of Wagon Trail to Lonesome Pine, a par-five rez-golf course and the first of its kind.

There’s one in the Fredericksburg area (I think never played there) with all kinds of tricks - a 600 yard hole, a par 3 that looks like a baseball diamond, a periscope on the tee to see if anyone is in front of you, and a green the size of a football field. My stepfather told me about. Self made construction guy who couldn’t get into any country clubs so he built his own course. Meadow something.
