The trail
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Draw a rectangle for the hole and mark a clear start, finish cup, and one route that a pretend ball could take.
- 2
Choose two obstacles that can be drawn safely, such as a bridge, a tunnel, or a gentle curve, rather than building anything unstable.
- 3
Write a fair rule for each obstacle and use coins or buttons to trace the route from start to finish.
- 4
Trade blueprints with another player, who points out one confusing part and one feature they would be excited to try.
- 5
Revise the drawing, give the hole a name, and add a three-stroke par that is challenging but possible.
Make It Even More Fun
- ✦ Make a winter lodge, space station, or backyard garden theme for the same paper course.
- ✦ Use picture prompts, a seated or observer role, fewer choices, or a shorter first round so everyone can take part comfortably.
Level It Up
Design a three-hole course with a scorecard and one accessibility adjustment for every hole.
Make It Easier
Use one obstacle and a straight route, then focus on drawing clear labels.
Quest Challenge
Can a new player understand the route and the rules from the blueprint alone?
Pro Tip
A good mini-golf hole has one memorable surprise and enough open space for a player to recover from a missed shot.
