HOLE 1: Reflection of Choices
By Chris Crammer
When the unexpected happens, decisions must be made quickly! Drop your ball onto the ramp, then consider all your choices as you hit some bumps and surprises along the way.
HOLE 2: Curling Club
By Paul Hedlund
Matching outfits aren’t necessary for your team to enjoy success on this curling sheet! Inspired by the Winter Olympics classic sport, this hole propels you to avoid the curling stones and brooms. The goal is to bring your ball to the “button” in the very center of the rings.
HOLE 3: Block Party
By Tom Loftus and Robin Schwartzman
Get ready to play! Toy blocks, abstract sculpture, and color field paintings inspired this hole’s design.

HOLE 5: Tale of Two Cities
By Jordan Hedlund
Step up for the challenge of this Minnesota-themed hole! Choose Minneapolis or St. Paul, but beware: the great Mississippi River could swallow up and return your ball. Your Goal? Putt up to the Iron Range and sink it!
HOLE 6: Ball Aboard
By Michon Weeks and Christian Weeks
Take a ride on the light rail from Target Field Station. Choose the Blue Line to the Mall of American or the Green Line to Union Depot. Stay on track to your destination! If you get off at the wrong station, wait there until your next turn. Place ball near hole to continue play.
HOLE 7: Guess What? Chicken Putt!
By Brian Fewell and Cami Applequist
Putt up to Henrietta, but avoid hitting her eggs and chicks. If you can get this chicken to lay an egg in four strokes, you’ve made par. Watch out for the fox in the henhouse! If he eats your ball, you’ll have to start over.
HOLE 8: Be a Sculpture!
By Nicola Carpenter, Bryan Carpenter, Susanne Carpenter, and Sean Donovan
Place your feet on the footprints and become a sculptural obstacle for your fellow golfers to navigate.

HOLE 10: Don’t Blow It
By Robin Schwartzman and Tom Loftus
Take a careful aim at this giant gumball machine. Get the ball into the coin slot, then watch it spiral down. Try for a perfect hole-in-one!
