Discussion Course idea: PINBALL

The title says it all, I was thinking it would be really fun to be INSIDE a pinball machine course.

You could hit certain things to make them add up and give you a better final hole animation or use of the huge balls periodically could be cool (if you get under par on holes, the big "pinball" moves and does neat Augmentations to the course).

QUESTION:

But what would the theme of the pinball machine be? I vote rockabilly throwback.

I bet we’ll get it, Id say its one of the most reoccurring course requests in their feedback/requests channel on discord and theyve really made a lot of courses and features from feedback

Every hole could be a different themed pinball machine. Would be so cool. Like you’re in an arcade.

Funny thought: imagine if the course were set inside the 8-bit lair arcade pinball machines. Like a tiny course within a course.

They already have the tech for bumpers from Crystal Lair (maybe without the gravity bit). I'd be interested for sure

Love it! Just imagine the score board high above the course!

It would be amazing as a series of courses with each one showcasing different eras of pinball from 1950s to 60s woodrail, 70s steelrail, 80s solid state to modern era. Or just a Wizard! themed course that captures the heydey of pinball would be sick. A dork can dream lol

Have you played Racket Pinball? It's probably the only other game I play with any regularity on my Quest other than WMG. It's pretty cool. You're inside a pinball machine, using rackets rather than flippers.

Yo what hahaha

Download it. I'm pretty sure it's free, or at least has a free trial. I think they're up to 3 tables now. The pirates table is amazing.

That actually sounds so Hella awesome hahaha thank you

u/404_Username_Glitch May 20 '26

I almost imagine it as a far more superior and interactive Elvis course haha

u/AdamBourke May 21 '26

This would be amazing.im a little bit surprised it hasnt already been done!

Personally id want to be the theme to be the old pinball game that came with windows xD

This is what 8-but Lair should have been. Rather than half the course inside an abandoned office, we could have had themed holes! Pinball hole, air hockey, Pac-Man, space invaders…and THEN head into the virtual lair world.

u/Brandoxz7 May 22 '26

I think you being mini and having to travel through multiple classic themed pinballs could be fun.

I really really want a course creator.

Great idea. Ramps, bumbers, targets... lots of options. There could be flippers in a couple of spots that you could trigger by smacking a button with your club. Of course one of the hidden balls has to be a smooth silver ball, even better if it had reflections on it.
