“Seems pretty straightforward” - South Korea’s new golf course baffles golf fans and leaves them with a lot of questions 

Golf courses are best known for their natural beauty and greenery. They provide a picturesque view for spectators to enjoy the match in beautiful surroundings. There are, however, several golf courses in the world that are renowned for their outrageous and distinctive designs.

Recently, some pictures of South Korea's new golf course became popular online. In contrast to other golf courses, which feature hills, and obstacles, this one is straight like a cricket pitch.

Zire Golf shared a few pictures of the golf course on Instagram.

But it's not the only golf course that has some peculiar features. There are several golf courses in the world that have hideous layouts. The nine-hole Prison View Golf Course is located inside Louisiana State Penitentiary, the country's largest maximum security prison, in Angola, Louisiana.

Lost City Golf Course in Sun City South Africa, designed by legendary golfer Gary Player, has water hazards protecting the greens on the 13th hole. It has more than 40 Nile crocodiles that are at least six feet long.

An active volcano named Mount Merapi surrounds the Merapi Golf Course in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Mount Merapi's most recent eruption was in 2010.

Just 400 meters south of the demilitarized zone (DMZ.L), which separates South Korea from North Korea, is Camp Bonifas, a single par-3 golf course in South Korea.
