Abstract
A modular mini-golf obstacle kit to allow individual creativity by enabling users to design their own miniature golf hole. The kit may have a number of various types of pieces and obstacles, each including uniform connecting mechanisms so that the pieces can interlock with one another in a variety of combinations. This allows for flexibility in design so each user can construct their own perfect mini golf hole anywhere they take the kit.

A modular miniature golf course obstacle kit for assembly on a playing surface comprising:
- a ramp element generally of prism shape having:
- an incline surface having a top level edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, and a base edge for contacting with the playing surface,
- a back,
- a base,
- oppositely disposed sides,
- a plurality of base receiving sockets disposed in the base adjacent to each side and to the back,
- a plurality of vertical receiving sockets disposed on each side adjacent to the back,
- a plurality of top level receiving sockets disposed at the top level edge adjacent to the back,
- a curb along the first side edge, and
- a curb along the second side edge;
- a wedge element generally of prism shape smaller than the ramp element and having a base edge for contacting with the playing surface, said wedge element having a male interlocking element at each of a first end and a second end of said wedge element;
- a gap element having a surface defining a space therethrough, said space at least as large as a golf ball, said gap element having a male interlocking element at each of a first end and a second end of said gap element;
- and
- a wall element having two rectangular faces of like length substantially forming a right angle at their intersection, said wall element having a male interlocking element at each of a first end and a second end of said wall element;
- wherein each male interlocking element conforms to a common male configuration and each receiving socket conforms to a common receiving socket configuration in which any male interlocking element may be received into any receiving socket.
