If you're looking to add a fun twist to your regular game of golf, you should visit the Coeur d’Alene Resort in Idaho, where designer Scott Miller has created a floating 14th hole.
During the game you'll approach the spot where hole number 14 should be. However, this one hole is separate from the entire course as it's located in the middle of the lake! To get to this section, you have to take a water taxi and then attempt to get the ball across the lake to another buoyant green area where the hole is.
For further challenge, the hole can be moved at any time, which is why the hotel gives golfers a certificate if they manage to get their ball there on the first shot.
