How to design an indoor golfing

What is the most affordable way to design an office miniature golf course? What reasonable obstacles or challenges would you build?
Our company is having a fund raiser by having each floor build a challenging hole. Each of the four hall ways are carpeted. Teams of three will put once around using best ball rules. Creative designs are a bonus.

You might try building "bumpers" (say out of stacks of books) that misdirect an errantly hit ball into a corner, or dead-end hallway, etc.
I would also get creative with elevation changes. Try to build some sort of ramp -- if the ball is not hit hard enough, it will come back at you, or if it's hit too hard, it will go too far (maybe past a turn, or into a cubicle, or something like that).
Try creating some sort of "hazard" off to a side, or in a corner. Maybe with shredded paper, or soda cans/bottles -- something that makes it hard to hit out of.

If your office is anything like mine, anything involving a red Swingline is a surefire winner.
