The Different Faces of Golf Courses

Not all golf courses look the same. There are many different methods of building golf courses around the world. The destruction of natural land and the use of pesticides and other chemicals to keep up the courses has caused some opposition to how they are built in the United States. So what are other countries doing to change this? In Australia, there is a golf course that is built only of diesel and oil covered sand. There are holes dug in the sand and players must carry a small piece of astroturf to tee off of. In New Zealand they don't change much of the natural landscape for the golf courses. It is not uncommon to see sheep grazing the fairway in some areas. The game may look different, but it is still played the same throughout the world.
