  • The public can play on the golf course on the North-east side of the Gold depository. As close as most of you will ever get to so much gold. Do NOT try to recover your ball if it goes over the fence there.
  • I played golf there, however I wasn't very good. I kept hitting them over the fence. They wouldn't give them back either. On April 15th, they took all my money. Now they have my balls as well!
