“I always thought it would be interesting to see a natural grass putt-putt course,” Jake Tyler, the park’s sports-turf manager, said in a statement. “The timing is perfect.”

Each golfer will receive a souvenir Links at Fifth Third Field golf ball.

Fifth Third Field will be transformed into an outdoor hockey rink for Walleye Winterfest in December.
