How to play Mini Golf
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Mini Golf. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Step by step
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Controls
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
