SCP-XXXX prior to containment

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-XXXX’s anomalous self-maintaining nature, SCP-XXXX is impossible to physically seal by constructing fences or otherwise by restricting the grounds. As such, SCP-XXXX is to be monitored externally by at least three (3) undercover Level-Two Foundation personnel disguised as groundskeepers during daylight hours. Otherwise, SCP-XXXX is to be regularly patrolled by two (2) armed*, Level-Two Foundation personnel dressed in uniforms consistent with local professional security companies.

Clearly visible signage identifying the area as private property are to be regularly monitored and maintained. Any citizens questioning the purpose of the site are to be informed that the site is owned by a private golfing club, funded by the █████ family. All further requests regarding the legitimacy of ownership or other information correlated to the cover story are to be ignored, or if absolutely necessary, the civilian(s) in question to be interrogated in a secure environment, administered Class-A amnestics, and immediately released.

Under no circumstances should any civilians or Foundation personnel interact with any of SCP-XXXX's eighteen (18) mini golf holes. Those who attempt to 'play' SCP-XXXX, regardless of identity, are to be forcibly detained, evaluated for cognitohazard exposure, and either terminated or released after the administration of Class-C amnestics, at the discretion of SCP-XXXX’s Containment Overseer or one (1) or more Level-Four personnel.

If SCP-XXXX has already been activated and a game is in progress, no attempts should be made to interfere with the player's progress. All successful and/or failed holes and their effects should be cataloged by the appropriate Level-2 or higher on-site personnel in real time as the game progresses. If the player completes SCP-XXXX-18 and has completed SCP-XXXX-16 within 3 individual putts, they are to be immediately apprehended by Foundation personnel and brought to nearby Site-██ for further questioning and examination. If the player has failed to complete SCP-XXXX-16 within the proper criteria and completes the final hole, the subject is to be immediately terminated and the body properly disposed through standard means.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an unmarked outdoor eighteen-hole miniature golf course located in suburban ██████, Alabama. City records indicate that SCP-XXXX was constructed in April of 19██, and operated normally for approximately █ years. SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties were discovered and subsequently contained after an unusually high number of locals were diagnosed with a variety of severe physical and mental disorders, alongside reports of spontaneous [DATA EXPUNGED]. All affected persons were administered Class-D amnestics and an "accidental water contamination" cover story was enacted.

Upon the placement of the ball at the start of the first hole, each hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1 through -18, and contact made between a standard putting golf club and the ball, the player will be rendered unable to willfully leave SCP-XXXX until they complete the entire course. If the player fails to complete each of SCP-XXXX's golf holes within at most three (3) putts, a memetic hazard will trigger, instantly afflicting the player. Additionally, each hole has a non-euclidean physical element, typically with the ability to alter the difficulty of the hole. The following is an addendum of all physical and memetic anomalies associated with SCP-XXXX-1 through -18:

Addendum XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX Anomaly Catalog

SCP-XXXX Designation Physical Anomaly Memetic Anomaly
XXXX-1 Ball floats directly into the hole upon start. N/A (Impossible to fail)
XXXX-2 Ball changes colors after each successive putt. Player develops acute monochromatic colorblindness.
XXXX-3 Small, invisible walls significantly narrow the curved passageway leading to the hole. Player will develop a permanent tendency to unintentionally walk directly into walls and doors.
XXXX-4 Ball will occasionally move in quick, unpredictable spasms without physical contact. Player will develop moderate tonic-clonic epilepsy.
XXXX-5 Ball will accelerate at approximately 150% the speed as expected momentum created with relative force. Player will feel nigh-unbearable stress and regret when thinking about SCP-XXXX-5, typically leading to severe panic attacks and the avoidance of any golf-related activities. This will likely prevent any further progress through SCP-XXXX.

XXXX-17 Ball will smear surface with which it makes contact with blood upon rolling, and will briefly catch fire upon hitting a border with more than ███ newtons of force. Subject will immediately begin sobbing and will make remarks about their "unforgivable sins" to the "holy and mighty God of Miniature Golf". After approximately 30 seconds, the player will proceed to violently bludgeon themselves with their golf club until death.
