The simplistic scorecard offers a suggested route to follow, but the Sheep Ranch isn’t about guidelines and restrictions. Golfers select any green, pick a spot to tee off and fire away, the same way our Scottish forefathers played the game after its creation in the 15th century.
The course charges $100 per golfer, but chances are a group will have the entire course for the day. It just has to be sure to bring plenty of balls.
