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.

The 2023 guidelines, basically the same as 2022, can be downloaded here.  We’re also glad to help you build a mini-golf hole or offer suggestions on how to build one. You can also read about last year’s event in a 2022 blog post and about previous years 2021, 2018,  2017 and 2016 also.

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.
