The Turkish Airlines Open has put their 16th tee box on the rooftop of a villa.
Many European Tour stars were surprised by this fact, including Padraig Harrington, but that didn’t stop him from teeing it up.

Tournament director Miguel Vidaor told the European Tour, “The original 16th hole was altered during the construction of the villas and the new tee on the roof is pretty much where the old tee used to be.”

Now you’re just teeing off on the roof of someone’s vacation home. Not too shabby.
