Feminist Building students moved their mini golf construction project from a campus workshop to the hockey rink in late March, after hockey season was over and the rink was de-iced. Each of the 11 golf holes has a corresponding web page with information about its theme.

Players start the course at a doctor's office, where barriers on the greenway signal potential hazards. Posters of female reproductive organs hang on the walls; an art piece titled "tubal ligation" shows an IV bag filled with baby figurines. "The artificial separation of the de-personified woman and over-personified fetus is the defining feature of anti-abortion rhetoric," reads part of the artist statement by student Lucinda Bala. Corresponding text informs people about J. Marion Sims, the 19th-century physician who developed the speculum.

Golfers must decide between two doors, a dilemma that serves as a metaphor for the choices in reproductive health care. One door leads to a crisis pregnancy center, the other to the "Pink House," the informal name of Mississippi's Jackson Women's Health Organization.

In the courtroom setting, which explores the relationship between environmental justice and reproductive justice, three Supreme Court justices — Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh — are depicted as clowns. Their portraits are superimposed over writing from Supreme Court cases, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Lucinda Bala, a psychology and studio art major, scored a free statue of Jesus at a Rutland garage sale. She fashioned a big IUD in the shape of a cross and placed it next to Jesus, who's holding a Bible made from packets of Plan B. Bala's artwork connects her childhood experience in Alabama, where she attended church three times a week and was exposed to "Baptist ideas of damnation," with her more recent experience of not having access to adequate birth control. "Both are forms of spiritual crucifixion," Bala said.

You can't play golf without balls.

At a hole representing a prison cell, there's a visitation booth where golfers can pick up a telephone and listen to a recording made by a student in the Politics of Reproduction class and their mother. The two talk about their experiences when the student was 10, their brother was 4 and their mother was incarcerated. "You can't listen to it and not sob," Carly Thomsen said.

Eliot Nebolsine and her classmates built a prison cell and hung posters made by activists on a chain fence. "I loved the opportunity to be able to build something," Nebolsine said. "It was such a cool way to have a different class."

Childcare can leave little time for other domestic duties, as one of the holes in the course depicts. Here, golfers are asked to carry a baby doll, leaving them with only one hand to hit the golf ball. Carly Thomsen, who was a three-sport athlete in high school, demonstrates.

The oversize birth control case is made from two saucer sleds. The contraption is motorized and spins, making it a moving target for golfers. Players have 30 holes to aim for, one for each day of the month to correspond with oral contraception. The approaching green is a pastiche of colorful condoms.

The final hole is a barroom, where folks sometimes gather to discuss and plan feminist and queer activism. The walls are plastered with posters advocating safe and legal abortion. "The most important thing is if [the project] creates a conversation," Colin Boyd said. "That should be the result."

Carly Thomsen has loved playing games since she was a kid growing up in Huron, S.D., and has long employed game-making and game-playing in her classes. Games are a fun and effective learning tool, she said: "You can't build something like this that's informed by material if you're not reading the material."
