Buhl Farm Golf Course, located in Sharon, Pennsylvania, is the only free public golf course in the United States. The 9-hole course is open from mid-April to November between 8 a.m. to 9.p.m. The course is known for its flat greens, high roughs where you will be not able to find your ball, and the fairways that can qualify as roughs at any other course. The course is also known for its one artificial turf tee box, and eight other dirt tee boxes where you will not be able to stick your tee in the ground. The free course is called Dum Dum by the locals.
