In China, “official numbers” never tell the whole story, and golf is no exception. New golf courses are said to be springing up every day, despite a ban on new courses that has been in effect for five years. At the Bayhood No. 9 International Golf Club, breathtaking scenery and luxurious accommodations intermingle with views of power lines and cranes, all partially veiled by pollution. But no matter, golf courses are packed from morning until night.
Overpopulation has its advantages too. When you play a round at Bayhood No. 9, each player gets two caddies. Play with three of your buddies, and you’ve got an entourage fit for a minor celebrity.

Remember how fun it was when you got to stay up all night and watch movies as a kid? Well, now you can stay up all night and play golf at the Arctic Open in Akureyri, Iceland. At the world’s northernmost 18-hole course, where the sky is never completely dark during a few weeks in summer, it’s possible to have dinner and drinks until midnight before teeing off. Talk about earning some boasting rights.
