Galveston - 18 stops - par 55

The round opens at the Shark Attack 5D Theatre in Galveston. The map is the real city and the ball rolls across its actual streets, banking off facades to reach holes built from real attractions. This full round of 18 holes covers 6.7 mi with a par of 55, using 6 portals to bridge the gaps. Skip is a local guide who knows these sidewalks well, even if a few feathers get ruffled by the sea breeze.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick a city

The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.

Putt to the pin

Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.

Sightsee between strokes

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

1892 Bishop's Palace

Despite the name, this isn't a residence for a member of the clergy. The Bishop's Palace is a palace located in the East End Historic District of Galveston, Texas. Completed in 1892, the property was later purchased by the Archdiocese of Galveston in 1923 before the Galveston Historical Foundation acquired it in 2013. You can find it standing tall at the corner of Broadway and 14th Street. I've always thought the nickname Gresham's Castle fits the scale of the place much better.

Saint Mary's Cathedral Basilica

You will first notice the Gothic Revival style of Saint Mary's Cathedral Basilica. Located in Galveston, this Catholic cathedral was designed by architect Charles G. Bryant and its inception was in 1847. The building is a National Register of Historic Places listed place. Beyond its architecture, it is the primary cathedral of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. In this capacity, the cathedral serves over 1.5 million Catholics living in the archdiocese.

STOP 19

Saengerfest Park

Let me show you Saengerfest Park, located in the heart of downtown Galveston. It sits within the Strand District, an area known for its Victorian era buildings. This National Historic Landmark District spans from 20th Street westward to 26th Street, covering both sides of The Strand and Mechanic Street. You can also find district properties along the south side of Harborside Drive. I've found that the architecture here makes for a great walk, though I usually spend my time watching the crowds from the eaves.
