Welcome, one and all, to another year of the Design-a-Hole Contest.

After opening up our submission doors to the Golden Tee world, it’s time to highlight the 10 finalists that caught our judges’ attention.

First, a giant thank you to the Golden Tee community.  We received over 250 designs this year—an all-time high—and we want to thank everyone who took time to design their hole and submit it. Your hard work and passion is why we run this event year after year. It’s what fuels this contest. So seriously, thank you for all that you do.

Now, to the finals.

One of the 10 designs that will be showcased over the course of 10 days—Monday thru Friday over the next two weeks—will become a playable hole in Golden Tee 2020. This winner will also receive their very own Golden Tee Home Edition and the opportunity to design their own Freaky Friday course.

The stakes are high for those still left, and now they (well, we) need your help.

We want you to post your feedback on all finalists on the Golden Tee's social media channels.

What do you like about a design? What do you love? What would you do differently?

While course designer Jim Zielinski will ultimately have the final say, we will take all feedback and use it in one final judges meeting to determine a top three and eventually a winner.

So let’s get going and welcome our second finalist.

Let's say hello to Sidewinder Creek, a watery Par-4 by Rob Marcum.

There are 4 tee boxes ranging from 207 Yards to 307 Yards.  The green is completely surrounded by water,  there is a left 3 degree / down 3 degree slope on the left side of the green.  The left side is the only part of the green with no rough or fringe to help stop the ball and if you land too close to the edge…it may roll back down into the water.
