What is it?
Drag back and release to putt. Start with 3 easy holes, finish in fewer strokes and send the same holes to a friend. You can also choose a 9-hole practice course.
The daily challenge puts everyone in the world on the same course, and you can send challenges to friends.
Mini Golf's 15 holes each test one idea: a slope that bends the ball, bumpers, sand, a pond, a sliding gate, one-way tunnels and a launch pad. For mini golf multiplayer on one device, Pass & Play lets 2 to 4 players take turns, and challenge links make it mini golf online with friends, showing their path as a ghost.
Mini Golf is a portrait-format putting game built on 15 hand-made holes. Each tests one idea: a slope band that bends the ball sideways, a bumper grove, sand, a pond, a sliding gate, a cup ringed by slopes falling away from it, and three gimmick holes with purple one-way tunnels and an orange launch pad. Par runs from 2 to 4, and a hole closes at par + 4 strokes, never more than 8.
The physics is deterministic. The ball advances in fixed 1/240-second steps using only basic arithmetic and square roots, so the same putt ends in the same spot on any device. Each putt is stored as two whole numbers plus the instant you released it, and the server re-rolls those putts to get your score instead of trusting the browser. The same replays let a rival's exact ball paths appear as a gold dotted ghost.
Around the rounds sit a shot review that replays each putt with its angle and power, practice from just before any shot, and a 15-hole album of your best medals.

How to play
- Pick 'Quick 3 holes' to start without an account. You can send and play friend challenges without signing in.
- Press anywhere and drag back to show the aim line. The ball goes the opposite way, and harder the further you pull.
- Release to putt. A very short pull is cancelled instead of hit.
- Water costs 1 stroke and returns the ball to where you hit it. Sand slows the ball and bumpers bounce it away.
- Sink the ball or reach the stroke limit to move to the next hole. Finish the course to send a friend challenge. Saving a world ranking requires GameNow sign-in.
Modes
- Quick 3 holes
- Holes 1–3 (First Putt, The Tilt, Dogleg), par 7, for one player. Unranked, but it earns stars, fills the Hole Album and can be sent as a friend challenge.
- Daily Challenge
- Three holes drawn by UTC date from holes 2–12, possibly mirrored, the same for everyone. Each account's best counts, rounds are accepted until 10 minutes past UTC midnight, and consecutive days build a streak.
- 9-Hole Course
- Holes 1–9 in order, par 26. The world ranking keeps each account's best round.
- Hard 9
- Par 31: harder holes, some mirrored, plus the gimmick holes Underpass, Launch Pad and Triple Warp. Ranked worldwide.
- Pass & Play
- Two to four players take turns on one device over Random 3 holes or the 9-hole course. Lowest total wins; nothing is saved.
- Challenge (⚔)
- Opened from ⚔ on a ranking or from a friend's link: the same holes, with the opponent's ball paths drawn as a gold dotted line. Friend links stay open for 7 days.
Good to know
- Keyboard aiming starts pointing up at medium power. ← → turn 5° and ↑ ↓ change power by 5% per press.
- Daily Challenge: everyone plays the same 3 holes each UTC day and competes on that day's ranking.
- Pass & Play: 2–4 players take turns on one device (quick 3 holes or 9 holes). Scores are not saved.
- Press ⚔ on the ranking to challenge that player's record. Their ball path shows as a gold dotted line.
