Montréal - 18 stops - par 57
This is Montréal. The map is the real city and the round is played on its real streets, where attractions like the Centre Bell are the foundations for the holes. Skip is a local guide who knows these corners well. It is a full round of 18 holes with a par of 57. The walk covers 11.4 km and uses 126 portals to move the ball across the map.
The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.
Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.
Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.
