This family-oriented event is open to anyone in the community. It’s a great opportunity for your family, a group of friends or organizations in Putnam County to work together making a mini-golf hole. Here’s the guidelines for 2021. You can also read about the previous competitions in a 2018 blog post,  2017 and 2016.

The event started in 2016 as a miniature golf course building competition for youth, which we held at the Putnam County Public Library. The original 7 holes were built in groups of 3-5 people per team, along with a mentor to help the younger groups. In 2017 it was open to everyone and we had the putt-offs on Franklin Street.
