Can secret holes be found during Championship or Timed Mode?

Each course in OK Golf includes two secret holes which unlock a hidden bonus level for use in free play. Sinking the ball in a secret hole will end the current hole without a score, and teleports the player to a new level.

Do these secret holes appear during Championship and Timed Mode? Or can they only be found while in Free Play?

Solution 1:

Secret holes can only be found while in Free Play mode.

Despite what the loading screen hints may suggest, secret holes will not appear when playing Championship or Timed Mode.
