In Golf With Latitude the game circumnavigates the entire world along a designated line of latitude.

The holes are placed in as close as possible to a straight line, crossing every imaginable type of terrain, including city scapes, hills, mountains swamps, forests, deserts, lakes, and rivers.

For oceans, a series of ships are anchored stem to stern to facilitate the mad players stepping on at one continent, play their balls along the length of the various types of ships, then continuing unto landfall when they reach the other side.

Wars, storms, famines and political chaos are no impediment to the Latitude Golfer. Even when virulent diseases strike, they pass though, in total focus, completely oblivious to everything except getting their ball into the next hole.

The game is complete when the Latitude Golfers arrive back at the beginning point named hole zero.

If you just sit in the bar drinking for 24 hours you will automatically travel 360° around the world on a constant latitude. No need for the actual golf.

That, [poc], is a world-beating sales concept.

I love golf, and I love this idea. Brilliant. Build it. Be it. I'll call Tiger and get him working on designs. Yay. Hole Zero, you win.

Do try to avoid current war zones, COVID hotspots, North Korea, and Belgium, in your planning route. My suggestion is following something in line with the Aleutian Islands, through Alaska, Canada, and Greenland.

Arctic Circle - mostly land (although largely Russia, so as [RayfordSteele] suggests, move a bit further north).
Antarctic Circle - mostly water, so "onboard ship" which defeats the purpose of the location (you can do ship-golf anywhere...).
I think "Golf With Altitude" would be better; all greens are higher than the tee-offs. Par-measure becomes mostly a function of steepness rather than distance. Bring your sand- wedge!

"Extreme Croquet" is a thing, so it's more than likely that "Extreme Golf" also exists.

Ah, yes.. it does. <link>

Yeah, what [Rayfordsteele] said. I would avoid California at all cost, and maybe even Oregon. Between fires and exhausted protesters, it might be shaky. So basically you might have to go above the west coast and head up towards [2fries] in Canada, instead.

No, not Canada. The locals collect the golf balls, but then when they find they can't crack the shells, boil them in the hope that once cool they can be peeled.

Of course, it never works, and they end up swallowing them whole.

That tells you most everything you need to know about Canucks, really.

At the nine-hole course on Groote Eylandt, the water hazard is genuinely hazardous, having a permanently resident salt- water crocodile.

In the Southern Hemisphere, anywhere north of the Tropic of Capricorn is liable to present you with this sort of feature at some point on the journey. And anywhere south of the Tropic of Capricorn (but north of Antarctica) is likely to be too oceanic to make for interesting play.
