You're a man after my own heart, BasketBuddy. Not only Batman, but ANIMATED Batman. Firstly, I'd like to thank you for being one of the few to focus only on your one hole. While it's great to see more of a mini golf course as a whole, I'm glad that you put all of your focus onto the one hole. And it payed off in spades (GET IT?!? Jokers!? Cards!? Spades!?)
You might have actually explained the character of The Joker in this single mini golf hole, and for that, I applaud you. The only thing you missed was the homicidal tendencies. I love that this entire hole is based around trying to infuriate golfers. It's difficult and unfair, yet still has a great flow to it. The design is delightfully whimsical while still slightly off-putting with the deep purples and greens, which fits right in with the Joker's character.
The only problem I have is with the jack in the box, and the trap door. In terms of the jack in the box, I'm not entirely sure what happens in those other 2/3 of the time. I might have completely skipped over it by mistake, but I was confused by that. In terms of the trap door, bringing a golf ball back to the beginning of the course, while hilarious and perfectly fitting within the Joker's character, I feel could really halt traffic through the course at times, which is certainly not ideal.
All in all, this was a stellar start. Incredibly glad to see you back. You certainly haven't lost it.
Creativity - 9/10: Like I said: you perfectly described the Joker in a single mini golf hole. Congrats.
Detail - 8.5/10: Most was described wonderfully. Your art, as usual, filled most of the gaps.
Realism - 7.5/10: My only concern is the trap door. Everything else is pretty rock solid.
Presentation - 810: Your art is a long-missed sight. Great to see it back.
Total - 33/40

This reminds me a lot of a Marvel mini golf course I saw in Niagara Falls, Canada. That's not a bad thing. It just reminded a lot of it. I don't have a ton to say, as, frankly, there isn't a lot here. It sounds interesting. It just needed more. As tiki said, Marvel is a bit obvious. I really think this would have been 10x better had you included more detail.
Creativity - 5/10: Marvel isn't terribly original. Perhaps if you went in a different direction with the Marvel characters.
Detail - 4/10: There's nothing here. It's barebones. I have no real idea of how this plays, other than the two pictures you provided.
Realism - 7/10: Does the Universal deal carry over to mini golf courses? I mean, it's definitely realistic for the most part.
Presentation - 5/10: No problems here. I just needed more detail and perhaps a picture or two more.
Total - 21/40

This is a great idea. A rather obvious one for Knott's but a very charming idea nonetheless. The problem here is that you were only supposed to focus on one hole. While this is a great idea, I don't have a whole lot to say because you only really presented the basic idea for five holes out of an 18 hole mini golf course.
Creativity - 5/10: Snoopy is rather obvious for Knotts, but the idea is absolutely charming.
Detail - 3/10: There's nothing here. I wish you really explained more of this course.
Realism - 7/10: It's definitely realistic. Other than the fact that there are only five holes.
Presentation - 5/10: Pictures are nice. It's easy to follow. Just not enough substance.
Total - 20/40
