Game
This game should provide motivation for solving length problems. The mathematical learning comes from the course construction and any modifications that are made to the design in order to adjust the par for a hole.
If students wish to continue to play the game more than a few times, have them redesign the course.
You may wish to increase the accuracy of the course designs by getting students to record the measurements in centimetres or millimetres.
Students could design different types of golf courses that have the same total par number for nine holes. A cotton bud or a tiddlywinks golf course may provide some interesting variations.
