This post is to log development of the TinkerGolf Course: Classic.


10/15/26:
Alright so I have about 20 different hole ideas for the classic course. The goal is to design 18 of them!
I will share more of these hole ideas once I get it going.
The first 4 holes and obstacles are
Rectangle-spinner fan
Hexagon-ramp and dots
Triangle-loop de loop
Skee-Ball-Skee-Ball!!!



Here are some of the design themes for this course:
Fun classy simple shapes.
Classic arcade and mini golf themes.
Printable on 180x180x180 3d printers.
Easy to print.
A robust platform of creativity and shapes for launching other course designs and art work on. 

Follow along with the development of the Skee-Ball hole here: https://3dprintsport.com/smf/index.php?topic=9.0

The Classic course will start off simple with some basic shapes, escalating into the loop de loop obstacle on the third hole. By the 4th hole, I'd like to get creative and have a Skee Ball themed hole. I am documenting my research on Skeeball on this post.

Trying to determine angles and dimensions. I have a proof of concept design I'd like to start refining into a practical and semi functional draft.

I am digging up a lot of blueprints for different skee-ball designs and such. This reddit thread seems to be very helpful so far.

i made some short videos on my first attempt at custom felt

I will be compiling some resources here

Tinkergolf was designed with these things in mind

Fdm printability
High quality
Durability
Minimum waste
Ease of assembly


It does not always reach these goals. Some parts are hard.

Please rate each part and give examples
