I've been golfing for a long time and would probably best describe my 'skills' as below par (pun intended). We have some great courses here in Northern Colorado, like Ptarmigan, Highland Hills, Southridge and so many more.
But here's something I never thought I'd see.

A floating golf course! Smack dab in the middle of the Indian Ocean at The Maldives Islands.

Duffers will be able to play on floating artificial islands connected underwater by scenic tunnels.

Bring plenty of cash.

Here's how Discovery.com describes the course.

Normally those hitting the links try to avoid water hazards, but designers of a new floating golf course are hoping golfers actually want to tee-off surrounded by one.

Plans are already underway to build an 18-hole course 250 miles off the southwest coast of India, among the islands of the Maldives. The course will consist of a series of floating platforms that contain two to three holes each, built by world-renowned floating technology company, Dutch Docklands.

No, you won't have to swim to each platform - they'll be connected to one another and surrounding hotels by clear underwater tunnels, similar to those you'd find at an aquarium.

Unlike other floating islands and resorts guzzling energy off the coast of Dubai, course developers call their project a "scarless development" which will have a zero carbon footprint on the Maldives ecosystem. To do so, developers are banking on the islands' sunny locale near the equator to generate energy through floating solar blanket fields. Developers will also employ sustainable techniques to desalinate and cool water.
