How to Play

To finish a hole:

All possible targets are highlighted based on the ball’s position. Select the target cell where you want your ball to go.

The selected target will show with an orange outline. Tap on it again if you want to change your selection.

After selecting a target cell, tap on the ball to strike it.

Repeat these steps until your ball lands on the cell marked with the flag. Look at the table under the grid to see your current score.

Additional Tips

  • Plan ahead by studying the grid and anticipating how obstacles might affect your shot. Remember: Your shot distance depends on the surface your ball is on — fairway, rough, and sand all influence how far you can hit.
  • Diagonal strokes are shorter. For distance try to hit vertically.
  • Use slopes to align with the goal. You can only putt horizontally or vertically on the Green.
  • Under the Log menu you can view your full course history. Continue courses you have already started from here.
  • After completing a course, you can share your result. The text will be copied to the clipboard to share on social media.
  • Each course is uniquely generated based on a random number (the so called "seed"). Each player that plays that seed will get the exact same course. You can play each course only once!
  • Play Daily Challenges multiple days in a row to get a higher Streak (see Stats).
