Fancy designing your own golf course? Stuck at home and missing golf?

Stay in touch with the game while discovering the armchair architect in you by taking part in the European Tour’s 3 Hole Design Challenge,  an online contest requiring participants to submit designs for the closing three holes on an actual site.

The site for the three holes is part of a project by the tour’s design arm, European Golf Design. The brief on the European Tour website notes: “The challenge is to design your ‘final three hole stretch’, with the 18th green to be located in front of a clubhouse located on the eastern side of the site.

“The three holes should present an exciting and dramatic conclusion to a tournament course, but remember, while the holes will need to challenge the best players they should also be playable for the average golfer.”

Entries can be either computer-drawn or freehand and have to be submitted in pdf or jpeg format by 1700 BST on Monday, May 18.

A panel of judges from European Golf Design and IMG will select the winner, who will receive a four-ball tee time at any European Tour Destination of his or her choice. The result will be announced across the tour’s social media platforms.

The European Tour Destination network consists of 30 golf clubs in 19 countries, including Malaysia’s Saujana Golf & Country Club and Black Mountain Golf Club in Thailand.
