Utrecht - 18 stops - par 53

Utrecht is the map for this round, where the ball rolls across the actual city streets. The holes are built directly from real attractions, ending the game at the Rijn en Zon. A full 18-hole round covers 9.3 km and uses six portals to bridge the gaps between distant districts. Skip knows these pavements well, including the specific corners where the best crumbs fall. As a local guide, this pigeon has seen every inch of the walk from the air and the cobblestones.

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Rietveld-Schröderhuis

Look closely at the primary colors and intersecting planes of the Rietveld-Schröderhuis. This historic house museum in Utrecht is a prime example of the De Stijl style. Architects Gerrit Rietveld and Truus Schröder-Schräder worked together to create the home. It is a World Heritage Site and a Rijksmonument. I've always thought the bold lines make it look like a painting you can actually walk inside of, which is a fun way to experience the space if you are visiting the city for the first time.

De Gesloten Steen

You might expect a monument in this city to be a grand building or a statue, but De Gesloten Steen is different. It is a glacial erratic, a massive stone left behind by ancient ice. This site is designated as a Rijksmonument and is considered a cultural landscape.
