Nashville looks different from a rooftop, but the ball stays grounded on the real streets of the city. This full round of 18 holes covers 7.4 mi, using real attractions like the Ryman Auditorium as the targets. Skip knows every sidewalk and alleyway here, having spent plenty of time watching the traffic from the eaves. The map is the actual city, and the local landmarks are exactly what the holes are built from.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Pick a city

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.

03

Sightsee between strokes

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