Mini Golf: how a round works

Try Mini Golf at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.

Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.

One thing to notice as you play

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.

The purpose of your moves

Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

The playing sequence

  1. Aim a stopped ball.
  2. Set power and putt.
  3. Wait until it stops before another shot.
  4. Use Next hole after sinking.

How to use the controls

Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example before you play

A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

A common point of confusion

The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
