You can print this out or buy some construction paper and design your own golf course. It's a lot of fun to play.

Sometimes my wife and I take used golfballs out on the prairie. We pick out a prairie dog hole and then drop our golfballs on the ground. The object of the game is to see how many shots it takes us to shoot and move our golfballs into the prairie dog hole. We called it Prairie Dog Golf, it a lot of laughs to play.
The newer golf balls don't stand up as well as the ones we used back in the 60's. Those rubberbands they used back then reacted alot better to being smacked with a bullet than the compressed stuff does now.
Either type ball you could only play one hole with the 45's and 44's. (after you hit it once a new ball is needed)
That sounds like fun but I would not have the patience for it with the stuff I use. Just last month, Gunny and I were shooting golf balls with our AR-15's and boy, would those babies fly when you hit 'em just right. -------------Sixgun

I supose I could shoot at them with my .223, 357 mag, 7MM mag 32 winchester special or a host of other calibers I own but there wouldn't be any fun in it. For us it's strickly a 22 cal. Prairie Dog Hole Golf game.
We used to set up all the 'Easter' eggs the older kids would dye and hide for the younger ones to find the next day on a fence or board, then everyone would take turns shooting at them with .22's of various sorts.
At that time, everyone thought eggs were 'bad' for adults to eat due to having cholesterol (actually, they're really NOT bad to eat, despite having cholesterol in them), and the kids wouldn't eat anything wihtout red dye and sugar, so at least we figured the birds and raccoons would clean up the mess of our 'biodegradeable' target shoot.
The 'city kids' always liked the event, although the 'city parents' were always all nervous that their little tykes were around 'guns' (...the same little tykes they'd take skiing, or allow to play football or soccer or whatever ). It was fun as a 13-14 year-old kid to be giving 'range instructions' to the 'city adults' who were astoundingly clueless about guns, having gained most of their knowledge from watching television, I guess.

Now I thought it was a real golf course where instead of hitting a ball towards a green, you fire your gun at a target. Record the number of shots it takes to hit the bullseye at each, then move on to the next one. Lowest score wins.
You would need a lot of land - probably something fun to do after Armageddon.

That's a great Idea for using up those easter eggs +1 .
As for the city folk, I don't think we can ever change their liberal minds when it comes to guns, shooting and personal protection.
Another target I love to shoot at is 2 Liter bottles. We save old plastic soda bottles and fill them 3/4 of the way full with water. Then add food coloring to the water and freeze them. Then we put them in the cooler and take them to range and shoot at them. It kind of gives the effect that your shooting glass bottles when the ice goes flying except it's just colored ice and will melt so it's doesn't leave a mess.

You realize that the 'game' is just a target and you take turns shooting at each 'hole'. Its not a real course. I'm guessing that its a 25yd target range.

When we play we usually set up one paper golf game target per person. This way everyone will know exactly where their shot hit and can count their shots.
We don't have a set distance that we play at, it depends on what we're shooting with. ( rifles or handguns ). We just set them up and back off until we think it's a fair distance and then play.
Also, if you google "Free Printable Targets" you get a lot of web sites that offer all kinds of fun targets and games you can play.

Oh .... never mind then. Golf balls = fun. Paper targets = boring.

I have a place out on the prairie that I go shoot at. It's shaped like a fish bowl with dirt hills on all sides. My wife and I and a friend one sunk some vegetable cans in the ground there with little flags in the center of them and played a few holes of 22 golf by trying to shoot the golf balls into the holes. I think it took us over 75 shots ea. just to get the golf balls into the first can. LOL
I'm thinking a piece of poster board (say 2' by 3') at fifty yards with a Puma 92 !!!
Now that would be interesting! Even with that target blown up to 2'x3' the 'holes' would only be about 1½" in diameter. And if one said 'open sights only' it might make for a really interesting outing.
