Snakehole Golf & Country Club

[bizarre_snakehole1.jpg]

Apache Junction, Arizona

This is the desert, right? Green grass is unnatural and a waste of precious water. But the inhabitants of Apache Junction's Countryside RV Resort still wanna play golf. All they need is a piece of carpet for the teebox, a circle of fine raked gravel for the "green," with nothing in between but bare dirt -- and they're ready to yell "fore!" There is indeed a nine hole course, but the part about the country club is just a joke, of course. A country club in the middle of the desert would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
