Nottingham - 18 stops - par 55
Nottingham is the setting for this round, where the map is the real city and the ball rolls across its actual streets. The holes are built from real attractions, like the walls of Nottingham Castle. Skip is a local guide who knows every nook and cranny, even the best spots for a crumb. This full round of 18 holes covers 7.3 mi with a par of 55, using four portals to skip across town.
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.
I'll show you to the banks of the River Trent, where you will find The City Ground. This association football venue is located in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, England. It has been home to Nottingham Forest since 1898 and currently has a capacity of 31,212. If you look at the stands, keep in mind there are plans to increase the capacity to 45,000, with further plans to eventually reach 52,500. It is a great spot for a stroll along the water.
Notts County have their home ground here at Meadow Lane, a football stadium in Nottingham, England. It is an association football venue that opened in 1910.

I've seen plenty of fans gathering around the gates on match days, and the energy in the air is always something special when the crowd starts to build up before kickoff. It is a landmark that remains a central part of the local sporting identity.
The William Booth Birthplace Museum is a museum located here in Nottingham.

Three acres of green space make up Stonebridge City Farm in St Ann's, Nottingham. It is a free-entry community farm that lets visitors get close to nature without leaving the city.

Whether you are looking for a quiet walk or a place to see animals, this park offers a peaceful break from the urban bustle. It is a great example of how a small piece of land can bring a whole neighborhood together.
