Is this the coolest back yard in golf?

Alterman Canyon Club, a mountain-side par-3 course in Malibu, Calif., has to be seen to be believed. On what used to be a vineyard, the owner of the property, Greg Alterman, decided he was a bigger fan of golf than wine and transformed his back yard into a golfer’s heaven.

“It was a vineyard that was producing very terrible wine to be honest,” says Alterman. “I’m not really a wine drinker anyway, so I figured I’d just incorporate this thing into what I do love which is golf, and create sort of an oasis in that regard.”

With five holes, breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, and the course being playable at nights as it's equipped with lights, calling this an "oasis" might just be an understatement.
