A compact golf facility and golf playing method include a driving range (24) and a golf course (19) comprising a plurality of holes that each includes a plurality of teeing areas (1-3), a target green (4), and a plurality of target cups (5) within the target green (4). The various teeing areas (1-3) are positioned at significantly different distances from the target green (4) and various target cups (5) are spaced about the target green (4) to provide multiple teeing areas (1-3) and target cup (5) combinations with associated different trajectories over various terrain to accomodate a wide range of skill levels among players. Players can therefore directly compare their actual scores on each hole, and over the entire course, without adjusting those scores by a handicap figure. The driving range (24) includes two drive teeing areas (25-28) that are displaced at opposite ends of a common target area a sufficient distance apart to assure that a ball driven from one drive/teeing area (25-28) cannot reach the drive/teeing area (25-28) at the opposite end of the target area. This driving range (24) uses half the width of a conventional driving range containing only a single drive/teeing area and only slightly longer length to accomodate a comparable number of players simultaneously.

L'invention concerne une installation de golf compacte - et la méthode de golf y relative - comprenant un practice d'entraînement (24) et un terrain de golf (19) à plusieurs trous pour chacun desquels il y a plusieurs tees de départ (1-3), un green cible (4) et plusieurs "drapeaux" (5) à l'intérieur du green (4). Les divers tees de départ (1-3) sont disposés à des distances suffisamment grandes du green (4) et des divers "drapeaux" (5) et espacés les uns des autres autour du green (4) de manière à offrir de multiples combinaisons tees de départ/"drapeau" et différentes trajectoires associées sur une configuration de terrain variée et, donc, à accueillir des joueurs de niveaux différents. Les joueurs peuvent ainsi comparer directement leurs scores réels sur chaque trou et sur l'ensemble du terrain, sans avoir à déduire leur handicap. Le practice d'entraînement (24) comprend deux zones de driving (25-28), placées aux extrémités opposées d'une zone cible commune et suffisamment éloignées l'une de l'autre pour qu'une balle tapée depuis une zone de driving ne puisse pas atteindre la zone de driving située du côté opposé de la zone cible. Ce practice d'entraînement (24) est la moitié moins large qu'un practice d'entraînement classique, qui n'a qu'une seule zone de driving, et est seulement un peu plus long pour pouvoir accueilir simultanément un nombre comparable de joueurs.
