Open fairways, a clubhouse, and a foursome whose scorecards don’t add up. Long sightlines mean row and column testimony dominates — the Golf Course is intersection country.
One of Kludoku's 23 crime scenes. The rules never change — place every suspect from testimony alone, and whoever ends up beside the victim did it. What changes is the map, and the map is what decides whether a case falls open or fights back.
9 rooms: Clubhouse, Pro Shop, Tee Box, Fairway, Green, Bunker, Water Hazard, Rough, Cart Path.
12 features the testimonies point at: golf tee, flag, golf cart, tree, shrub, boulder, bench, flower bush, armchair, desk, window, painting — 7 block a square outright; 1 a suspect can sit on; 2 mounted on a wall edge, taking no square but anchoring "beside" claims; 2 flat underfoot, which a suspect can stand on.
The Golf Course has hosted 13 days of shared cases, first on 1 August 2026 and most recently on 27 October 2026. 130 investigations have been opened on it, and 75% ended in the right accusation. The fastest anyone has closed a case here is 0:10.

Board is columns × suspects, and rooms is how many regions that grid is cut into — both set by the difficulty, not by the scene. Testimonies is how many statements it took before exactly one arrangement survived, assumptions the assume-and-test rounds needed once plain elimination ran dry, and liar the share of cases hiding an accomplice whose every word is false. Those three are The Golf Course's own, measured over the 13 days it has hosted.
