Mini Golf, Can You Build It for Charity?

A Creative, Competitive, and Purpose-Driven Team-Building Experience

Can You Build It for Charity… Mini Golf is a high-energy corporate team-building activity that blends creativity, friendly competition, and meaningful charitable giving. Teams compete in fast-paced mini-challenges to earn canned goods and building materials, then design and construct their own custom mini-golf holes. Once the courses are built, it’s game time: teams putt through each other’s creations, voting on the most creative, challenging, or memorable hole. The experience is playful, collaborative, and packed with laughter, while also giving teams the opportunity to make a positive difference in their community.

How It Works

1. Teams participate in several short, fun mini-challenges to earn supplies — including cardboard, foam board, construction paper, colorful foam, stickers, decals, and other craft elements.
2. Each team strategizes and collaborates to design a unique mini-golf hole, using the materials they’ve earned.
3. With guidance from facilitators, teams construct their holes in a set time frame.
4. All teams then play a round of mini-golf across every built hole, with scores and creativity recognized.
5. The event concludes with an awards ceremony where top teams receive medals (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for larger groups).
