dog-leg
Angled fairway hole
A dog-leg is a sharp bend or angle, like the crook in a dog's hind leg.
The term appears most often in golf, where a dog-leg hole curves sharply left or right: The seventh is a dog-leg left around the pond.
Stairs with a landing and turn are dog-leg stairs.
As a verb, to dog-leg is to follow such a path: The road dog-legs through the valley.
