An introduction to playing Mini Golf

Try Mini Golf at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.

Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.

Something to practise

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

From the start of a round

  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 your actions work

Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

An example to follow

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. Take a moment to compare.

Keep this in mind

The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
