Shape: Imagine a circle on an x-y plane (in this description, the x-y plane
is parallel with the ground) centered at the point (0,0) – any nonzero diameter is fine for imaginary scaling purposes.
Start at the circle's 0 degree mark (where it intersects the positive x-axis will be the tee box) and heading in a
counterclockwise direction, and ending at about the 255 degree mark (this point just shy of ¾ of the way around the
circle will be the green). Now, imagine a z-direction. The path of the hole from teebox to fairway to green spirals
downward (so the hole will be below the tee box every time), and the green also continues in the downward spiral direction.
Design: A tall mountain peak, with clouds visibly moving "through" the mountain.
There will be two large flat ridges designated as tee box zones near the start of the partial-circle path. The cone-shaped
mountain will continue upward, and from a top-down view, the cone will center at the (0,0) point, and the diameter will be
smaller than the pathway of the hole described above. The fairway is a large strip of "flat" mountain ridge, groomed to
perfection with large gaps between the tee boxes, the fairway, and the green. A jagged ridge separates the tee boxes from
the green, that with the right direction, club, and speed, can send the ball soaring over the ridge and onto the green in
one shot – but the dangerously large drop to the green will give the wind ample time to have dire effects on the outcome.
Shots not landing on a ridge fall into the oblivion below and a penalty stroke is given. An option for a larger circle
(which would make it a par 5) is to add a flat piece of real estate to the cone-shaped mountain peak as a midway-point for
the shortcut-seeker.
