Art Golf takes the spirit of Junkyard Golf Teambuilding and makes an art out of it. It was a project of a group called Because We Can, developed for the Maker Faire held in Sebastapol, CA. They were given a budget of $1500 per hole.

From the site, it looks like it was a great success, both with kids and adults. The only differences: they used real golf clubs instead of clubs people made out of things like brooms and sneakers, the holes were created by artists at a cost of $1500/per instead of teams of adults and kids with no budget and a semi-random collection of scrap and junk and stuff.

Not that I'm suggesting that one event was better or more fun than the other. Just pointing out that both events looked like a great deal of fun. One was created by artists. One was free. The success of one validates and demonstrates the viability of the other.
