Gameplay

Course

• Dutch Courage: Contestants must hit through a small mini-golf-style windmill situated in between two large windmills. The large windmills have four large, quickly rotating blades that can knock the player off the putting surface and cause stroke penalties. The hole lies past the second large windmill, on a slope.
• Caddysmack: The contestants try to hit their first putt closest to the big golf ball. The one closest gets to decide how their next shot will be hit, either by resident golf pro Stephen Curry or a robot voiced by Rob Riggle, with the losing contestant getting the other option. The robot and Curry hit 55-yard pitch shots to a turf-covered empty swimming pool where the hole is located. Caddysmack is the longest hole on the course.
• Arc de Trigolf: Players hit their ball along a large arc to the green, and then must get over a line of small raised platforms in a swimming pool to ring a bell and release a guillotine that will stop their ball from falling into the water.
• Tee'd Off: The loser on the 4-foot putt-off falls into the pool.
• Sweet Spot: The player tees off from a rapidly rotating platform toward another, less rapidly rotating platform where the hole is located. Several prop candies, like giant gumdrops, decorate the hole and act as obstacles.
• Surf Or Turf: Contestants hit a ball up a large concave wave ramp 30 feet into the air, launching it backwards over their heads to an island green. If the ball does not land and stay on the green, the contestant must hit the ball across a skinny walkway instead after a one-stroke penalty.
• Slip N' Putt: The contestants must make their way atop an icy hill. The first one to the top gets the better placed ball. Then, they must hit their ball through the legs of the polar bear and slide their way down the hill to the green to complete the hole.
• Log Roll: Contestants must putt up a hill and then climb it while avoiding rolling logs on rails.
• The Distractor: Contestants must try to sink a 15-foot putt with a distraction.
• Mt. Holey Moley: Contestants must hit their ball up the side of a volcano into one of the crevasse holes. If they miss, their ball is placed far away and behind some rocks. If they place it in the holes, they get a better position—the smaller the hole, the better. They must then climb the volcano and zipline over the pool to land on a floating dock to reach the green; falling off the zipline and landing in the water will result in a one-stroke penalty.

• Double Dutch Courage: Contestants must hit through a small mini-golf-style windmill situated in between two large windmills. Similar to Dutch Courage, the large windmills have five large, quickly rotating blades that can knock the player off the putting surface and cause stroke penalties. The hole lies past the second large windmill, on a slope.
• Putter Ducky: Contestants must putt past two oversized rubber ducks that swing from side to side. Afterwards, the players themselves must avoid the ducks. If a player gets knocked into the water, they receive a one-stroke penalty.
• Slip N' Putt: The contestants must make their way atop an icy hill. The first one to the top gets the better placed ball. Then, they must hit their ball through the legs of the polar bear and slide their way down the hill to the green to complete the hole.
• Frankenputt: Players must putt through a series of electrical nodes and Dr. Frankenputt 's lair to the hole. Every stroke a player takes, they receive an electrical shock.
• Buns & Wieners: Players putt across a crevasse in a rotating hot dog bun before attempting to cross a creek filled with "burning coals" by clinging to one of three rotating hot dogs.
• Hole Number Two: Players must putt along a narrow ridge with water on one side and a row of porta-potties on the other, before attempting a 2.5-second sprint across the ridge before the porta-potty doors open and knock them into the water.
• Uranus: Contestants must putt the ball around the outer ring of Uranus. There is a channel where if the contestants land, could provide a shot in hole in one. After the contestants putt, they must traverse 4 planets to get to the green. If they fall in, they receive a stroke penalty.
• Polcano: Similar to Mount Holey Moley, but players zipline onto a narrow pole rather than across the entire water hazard.
• Putt the Plank: Contetants must first putt across a pirate ship's bow towards a red X. The closer to the red X gets a courtesy chip across the lagoon from pirate captain Long Jon Lovitz, while the other player gets a blindfolded courtesy chip. Then, they must cross the lagoon on the back of a shark to complete the hole, being careful not to fall in and get a penalty stroke.
• Gopher It: 2 contestants must first ride on a mechanical gopher for as long as they can. Whoever can ride the gopher the longest will get the better ball placement on the course. The contestants must then put across a course with mechanical gopher heads popping up randomly. The contestant with the better ball placement only has to navigate around 2 gopher heads while the other must deal with a third.
• Dragon's Breath: Contestants wearing fireproof armor must putt the ball through one of three holes underneath a drawbridge in order to lower it and putt the ball in the hole. While the contestants are trying to putt, dragons breathe fire at the contestant.
• Beaver Creek: Players putt across a narrow strip before crossing a ditch via a rapidly rotating log. Riggle often ridicules the hole for having a drab and empty ditch and for being a relative copy of Buns & Weiners.
• Diving Range: Contestants must first complete a dive of their choice in a three-way competition against former Purdue University diver Joey Cifelli with judges Greg Louganis, actor Steve Guttenberg and Sir Goph awarding scores. Cifelli's scores are always significantly lower than the actual competitors, who advance to a hole in which they shoot past laneline obstacles to the hole in the center.
• The Distractor: Contestants must try to sink a 15-foot putt with a distraction.
• Water Hazard: Similar to Surf or Turf, in which players hit a ball over a water hazard via a 30-foot wave before attempting to cross a narrow bridge while being blasted with fire hoses.
• Clowning Around
• The Tomb of Nefertiti- Stephen Curry's much lauded finale hole, which will appear in the season finale.
