Formula One Golf: The Brickyard Crossing

Ok, the GP USA in Indianapolis isn’t on the Formula One season schedule for some time now. Still, it has produced some interesting races and – more importantly – the Indianapolis speedway has a golf course. And so, as the Indy 500 are underway as I write this, I present to you the Brickard Crossing Golf Course.

What you probably have noticed while watching some Indy races is that four holes (#7 through 10) are situated in the infield of the race course. It was designed by Indiana home boy Pete Dye and from the tips, plays to 6.994 yards, par of 72, with a course rating is 74.0 and it has a slope rating of 143. Looks like your average game isn’t enought here, especially as the course geatures your standard Dye features with pot bunkers, sandy waste areas, rolling, mounded terrain, and railroad tie bunkers

But the main question is: are you allowed to play the infield whilts a race is in progress and how wayward a shot can you hit until you reach the race track?
