I have never been a fan of the "pitch-n-putt" type courses because in my mind it's not "real golf" and you only get to use a couple of clubs. Well today I had a couple of hours to kill and I went to a local course that has a great practice facility and when I got there I decided to play the pitch-n-putt course. It consists of 6 holes, the longest hole being 95 yards, and the green fee is $5 and that is as much as you can play all day. I have to say, it was FUN! The greens are very small so it actually presented a decent challenge to consistenly score par or better. I found myself trying to hit creative shots, knock down shots, lobs, etc... I played the 6 holes a few times and I feel like it was not only a lot of fun but also great short game practice. I think I will incorporate this into my practice routine more often.

Do you play these types of courses? If not, why?
