			Skeeball was the final hole on the course and featured an actual skeeball obstacle that golfers would shoot their ball into. The ring that the ball ended up in would determine the stroke score for that hole. This hole had an additional feature in its earlier configuration. If a golfer was able to hit the center hole, they would actually win a free round of golf and be able to play the course again. The center hole would trigger a red spinning light that sat on top of the skeepball bullseye and a siren would go off indicating that someone had won.

	===17 - Log Flume===		===17 - Log Flume===

			Log Flume began with an upper area where a golfer would shoot their ball towards one of three openings. Each opening would send your ball into a flume track that would take it to the lower area. Must like the Roller Coaster hole, the center opening was the one to aim for because that path would aim the ball right at the hole. The other two paths would put it off to the side. The flume paths used to have water that would run on them as well to help push the ball along. The water was turned off in later years causing some balls to get stuck as they rolled down the path.

			Ferris Wheel required golfers to shoot their ball up a ramp onto a green in an upper area. Earlier versions of this hole actually had the Ferris Wheel where the ramp sat. Golfers would shoot their ball to the Ferris Wheel where it would take a ride and get dumped out up top. The Ferris Wheel stopped working in its final years, so the obstacle was just moved off to the side and replaced with a ramp.

			Gametime Pinball was designed to look like a large pinball machine. Golfers shoot their ball up the side and then into the play area. Sadly, the pictures below don't do this hole justice because all the pinball-looking structures had been removed and replaced with rocks in the final few years the course was open. Prior to the rocks on the green, the hole actually had obstacles that looked like bumpers and flippers.

			Fire Dragon featured a double-looping obstacle complete with a little Colossus sign on the top of the first loop. Golfers had to hit the ball just right to get it to travel through both loops and then onto the final green area. Unlike other obstacles on the course, the Fire Dragon one wouldn't actually improve the odds of the ball going into the hole, but it was entertaining to shoot the ball through the loops.
