Outdoor bulls-eye target golf course and game

Abstract

An outdoor bulls-eye target golf course comprises a natural surface, a single target area along the natural surface and a plurality of tee stations along the natural surface at various predetermined distances from a target hole of the target area. The target area includes a 0bulls-eye target with the target hole at its center and defined by a plurality of concentric target lines on a grassy area. A bulls-eye target golf game involves each player hitting a plurality of golf balls to the target hole from each tee station, eliminating the worst played ball hit from each tee station, and scoring the remaining balls hit from each tee station by assigning points to the balls depending on whether they land in the target hole, an inner target zone, an intermediate target zone, an outer target zone or outside of the target area.
