Cheyenne Golf Course, in Cheyenne, Oklahoma, is more reminiscent of Tom Joad than Tom Watson. It consists of nine rugged holes, ornamented at their peaks with greens made not of grass, but copper-red sand mixed with biodegradable oil. Greens with tattered, canary-yellow flags stabbed into their centers, resting a stone’s throw from the hot pavement of Oklahoma Highway 283. Greens surrounded by the wind-lashed plains near the Black Kettle National Grasslands that seem to unfurl for days, naked but for their clusters of cedar trees.
