THE COURSE
HOLE 1: Putt-Pong
By: Trevor Anderson and Barry Kudrowitz
The fast pace of ping-pong and careful strategy of putt-putt come together here. It’s up to each golfer to decide how to play: are the paddles an advantage or an obstacle? Launch your ball over the net and into the hole to score.
HOLE 2: Turtle Pond *NEW*
By: Aiyana Kline
Turtles are a sacred animal and symbol in the Native creation story of Turtle Island. The story inspired this design by Aiyana Kline (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians). Tee off at the turtle’s tail and choose an option: will your ball go up across the shell or through the pond? Either way, aim for the eye.
HOLE 3: Color Wheel
By: Tom Loftus and Robin Schwartzman
Up to four players can putt together at the same time on the Color Wheel. Pick a color, step up, and race to see who can get the ball in first. The winner subtracts one point from their score!
HOLE 4: 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 5: 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 America 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 6: 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 7: 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 8: Let’s Be Frank
By: Yousif Del Valle, Tom Loftus, Andrew MacGuffie, Meena Mangalvedhekar, and Amy Toscani
Step back in time with an all-American favorite.
HOLE 9: Dream Catcher *NEW*
By: Brenna White
A familiar symbol of Native culture, this dreamcatcher was designed by Brenna White (Ojibwe). Like a spider’s web, it catches bad dreams and releases positive energy. To play, tee off at the top of the net and see which feather guides your path. From there, hit your ball into awaiting catchers.
HOLE 10: Piece of Cake
By: Tom Loftus and Robin Schwartzman
Play with your food! Use the bumpers to help get your ball to the top of the ramp to find the sweet spot. Is it as easy as pie?
