Some off the beaten path roadtrips

Imagine a miniature golf course on steroids, with one hole that looks like a baseball field, a 25-foot waterfall at the edge of a green, and hole so long it takes six shots to make par. That would be Meadows Farms Golf Course in Locust Grove, just outside of Fredericksburg, and just 45 minutes from Charlottesville. 

The 180-acre course, which features 27 holes, is home to the longest hole in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, a 841-yard par six. But don't worry, the design gives every kind of golfer, from the duffer to the pro, an option on how to play it.
