By Design – Issue 53, Summer 2021

RUNNER UP! Designer: Olivia From: Arizona Age group: 9-13 With a green perched on a hilltop, a par will be a good score on Olivia’s design. Designer: Isabel From: Wisconsin Age group: 9-13 An alligator lurks menacingly close to the tee of Isabel’s short par four, set entirely on an island. Designer: Darcy From: Michigan Age group: 1-8 A river bisects the entire fairway on Darcy’s design, with the green protected by a bunker complex that Pete Dye would have been proud of. 33 Designer: Sabrina From: Texas Age group: 9-13 Sabrina has created a hole that is playable for golfers of all abilities. Those who choose the back tee need to be able to hit a huge draw or a high shot over trees. Designer: William From: California Age group: 14-17 William's artistic and sophisticated design requires a strategic approach, with two distinct routes from the tee and various sand hazards to negotiate to reach a double plateau green.
