Mini Golf: what to know before playing
Mini Golf gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
Practice with a purpose
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
The order of play
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Input guidance
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Work through an example
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
