The course is only six holes long – so you play three loops to make up the full 18. It’s not particularly challenging, with each hole laid out pretty much in front of you (although you do have to be straight, as the fairways are lined with tall conifers).
But La Jenny makes the list because it’s the world’s first golf course for naturists. That’s right, nude golf, which means no pockets to keep your tees or ball markers. At least there’s nothing to constrict your swing. But the rules of golf still apply, especially when it comes to loose impediments.
