Abstract

A green complex comprising of a universal design concept and entities that support this concept are disclosed therein. The universal design concept is to stimulate a golfer by offering a method of operation that combines traditional golf and disc golf that can be played at any time; day or night. These design entities are inclusive to, but not limited to, the variation of colors of the target structure, flag, and corresponding synthetic green, and the illuminating concept for the green perimeter, cup, structure, and flag. A golf course with a plurality of holes, that includes the present invention, would be arranged as to where each hole contains a theme that is inclusive to the universal design concept. A typical green complex, using the concept of the present invention, comprises of an artificial target green of various colors encompassing a target structure/cup that displays various flags and combines the play of traditional golf and disk golf which could also be played at night using the illumination concept. The green complex contains numerous permanent turf cuts/holes that allow the present invention to relocate its target structure/cup, resulting in an encompassment of different terrain obstacles and different trajectories to the target structure/cup therein. A method of operation of the green complex is also described. Participating at a golf facility that includes the present invention results in a method of operation that appeals to the mind, body, and soul of the participant through a relatively inexhaustible number of stimulating design concepts therein.
