Every year the Design-a-Hole Contest gets bigger and better thanks to all of our dedicated fans!  Once again this was the biggest contest to date, and the response surpassed our wildest expectations.

More than 250 designs—from the extreme to the weird to the magnificent—we saw another strong batch of just how creative the Golden Tee community can be. Months later, we narrowed this strong group down to 10. Then, last week, down to three. After announcing our third place winner on Friday, it's now time to crown a champion.

And that winning design is… Sidewinder Creek by Rob Marcum!

Marcum's design is already being worked on by our artists, who will bring it to life. What hole and course it will be found on is still to be determined, but we will certainly keep you current on its future home.

Not only will Marcum see in creation come to live in Golden Tee 2020, but he will also be able to do so from his very own Golden Tee Home Edition!

Our runner-up design was Waterfall Cove by Clint Mattingly, while third place went Mountain Hideaway by Kevin Patrick. Congrats to both on incredible designs, and congrats to all 10 finalists. 

Thank you once again for an incredible year of Design-a-Hole. We appreciate the passion and support, and we look forward to running the contest once again next year. Now, it’s time to get to work. We can't wait to see Sidewinder Creek in person very soon!
