Corkscrew Canyon
by A.S.Coasters
Start at the tee-off point to the left of the logo, hit the ball and try not to fall into the sand pit! Come carefully around the lake and under the roller coaster corkscrew, fly through the tunnel. Go around the big mound and into the hole! Minimum par of about 4.
Giant Arrow
by MADDIE
This hole is very fun and challenging because it has bumpers, a tunnel, sandtraps, a fountain, and a little hill. You may be surprised by getting a hole in one!
Lazer Course
by D.C.Cable
This is a fun unique lit up course. There are two ways to get a hole in one on this course, hit the ball through the building bounce it of the triangle bumper then the wall to get a hole in one or hit the ball straight through the building right for the hole in one.
Lazy River(:
by SweetTartOlivia
Tee off from the very top. But BEWARE if gold ball goes out of the course and into the Lazy River it starts you right from the begining! The star sand pit is another opstacal to watch out for as well as the little bit of lazy river in front of the ending hole :)
Magenta Maddness
by Daddysgirl
My design is fun and colorful! Anyone can play it. It’s easy but not too easy and my par would probably be 3 :). PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!!
Monster Jaws
by checkerchess
This golf course shaped like a monster is tons of fun for everyone. Start at the teeth and hit you way through the jaws of the hungry monster. Then bounce it off a seris of walls until you make it through the bridge and straight into the monster’s eye.
Mt. Everest
by rockclimber87
There are two ways to get around the tallest mountain in the world — through it or over it. Take your pick and find out where you end up on the other side… it might just surprise you with a hole in one!
Pink Lady (roll) Hole
by lmnewyorkcity
Avoid the pink lady and the sushi rolls to make it into the pink lady roll hole.
Plaza Golf
by AllisonRide
This is my mini golf hole. It is not hard to get a hole in one but can sometimes be challenging. It is called Plaza Golf because it has a table with a sun umbrella it is on the side of the hole, which would be in a plaza. I hope you like it and vote for me please!
Putter King Crown
by missymaddie
My hole is the Putter King’s crown! You tee off from the top of his crown, try to roll your ball across the narrow pathway, and get a hole-in-one by getting it in the middle jewel. Fall off the path? Start again — because the Putter King doesn’t miss.
Roulette Hole
by gramamudder
The object of the Roulette Hole is to have the players aim the ball where it will land on the slowly spinning wheel & then drop down through 1 of 3 holes to bring it closest to the hole on the green. The top center position will bring it the closest to the hole.

Volcano Hole
by camandnick
This putt putt golf hole is a par 4. First you have to tee off and make it into the volcano. The volcano then spits out the ball and you land near the lava. If you touch the lava, you will need to start over where your ball last stopped. The next step is to dodge the lava and hit it off the rail into the hole. PLEASE VOTE!

Paper submissions
Mail-in designs
Alongside the online contest, Kevin received 10 hand-drawn designs by mail in Japan. Each was sketched onto the official パターキング ホールデザインコンテスト entry sheet and posted in. They never made it into the voting system online, but they survived in a folder on Kevin’s shelf for fifteen years.
