If you are doing a season 3 of this (HOPEFULLY YOU DO!) you have to come to Finland. There is a par 3 golf course that was opened for the public in 2017 in Isosaari (Big Island) which is a former military island. The course was built in the 1980's for the officers to use on their spare time.

Lovely video. This course is definitely on my bucket list (among with some others on the Outer and Inner Hebrides. I've been to the Western Isles many years ago, before I started playing golf. I even passed by that place (as you mentioned ... there pretty much is only one road ;) and I came up form Barra). And one of those days I'll take a light pencil bag with a few clubs and a backpack and just hop from island to island and play all those hidden wild little courses.

Played the old 9 hole back in early '80s on a family trip to island just north of South Uist, Benbecula. There was a shack, some old clubs, and most memorable, electric fences around the greens to ward off the local sheep. Years later read the Sports Illustrated article about the discovery of Old Tom's 18 and the devoted small group that has brought it back. Your video was splendiferous and magic. Thanks for making the trek and sharing your experience.

Played Askernish a few times now. Looking at the yardages you might think you're gonna take the place to bits, but no, it's wicked difficult. There's a par 3, I think its the 11th, over a gully. I had to smash my hybrid just to be on the green and that's the only time I parred the bugger. What a place to play golf, nothing to the west but the Atlantic and America.
