Mini Golf: rules and examples
Open Mini Golf, check the instructions and begin a round. Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Three original obstacle courses; wall bounces and friction.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Sink all three holes within twelve strokes per hole. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Aim a stopped ball.
- Set power and putt.
- Wait until it stops before another shot.
- Use Next hole after sinking.
Choosing and moving on screen
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one 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. Read the matching step again.
Notice this detail
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
