Been meaning to build one for ages. The girlfriend picked one of those ‘cheapest models out there’ the poster above mentioned, 20 bucks… great little set for 20 bucks, but yeah, they’re flimsy, fall apart while you’re playing, and it’s those soft, light, rubber balls… just not the same. Just built mine today, doing the golf balls tomorrow (Mom’s boyfriend golfs and has tons of extras, just gonna spray paint them and go from there ) But yeah, building it yourself is well worth the little effort it takes and the little extra money spent It’s so much more stable and I built the base 18″ on each side, so the total length as the height of the game… barely budges when you really whip them at it. So thanks for the walk through, didn’t have the dimensions and it really helped me save a lot of time and PVC

Great project, but no one warned me what is inside of golf balls. Some had a liquid, others had a coil of rubberband that eventually expanded and oozed out the hole.

Thanks for the feedback Drew! If you have any pictures of your completed ladder golf set we would love to post them.

I just bought the items from home depot on 8/3/09. For all the rope, PVC pipe, PVC connectors, and 2 cans of spray paint (optional), I spent $28.41 (with tax). Without spray paint, its $22.51. Note that the only thing this does NOT include are the golf balls (which you should be able to find for free somewhere). This is about the same price as purchasing the cheapest Ladderball set online. I’ve read reviews that say those sets break easily and the balls fall off the rope. Doing it yourself will be better constructed and you can paint it any colors you want!
