If you are one of the fortunate people to have a backyard large enough for a golf hole, then you have to see these.  Sports stars across the board who are golfers would love to have some of these masterpieces!  I can understand Dave Pelz's backyard because it is also his office.  What a great office it is!  Check out these 19 amazing backyard holes presented by  of Golf Digest!

Dave Peltz.

How does short-game guru Dave Pelz keep his own short-game sharp? With an incredible backyard practice facility at his home in the Austin, Tex., area. A couple of those greens should look familiar. One is a replica of the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass (top) and the other is a copy of No. 12 at Augusta National (left).

British Columbia.

A mansion on the market in British Columbia, Canada, has a practice area with a multi-tiered green and bunker. The view isn't bad, either.

Andre Beltre.

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hit three home runs in four innings during an August 2012 game against the Baltimore Orioles. But that's not nearly as impressive as his 16,600-square-foot house in Bradbury, CA, he just sold for $17 million. And that doesn't even include the lovely practice facility seen above.

Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods' newest home in Jupiter, Fla., features an ultra-private practice facility. Near the water, the various sets of tees and greens should allow the 14-time major champion the ability to practice just about every shot under any wind condition.

Phil Mickelson.

Phil Mickelson has kept that flop shot sharp through the years with this short-game setup behind his Rancho Santa Fe home. But in 2012, the five-time major championput this luxury estate on the market. The asking price? $7.095 million.
