Golf Course Gophers is a fun, connect-the-dots style game for people of all ages. The game play area features a grid overlaid on a golf course. Within this grid, color-coded pairs of gopher holes are depicted. When a gopher hole is clicked, a gopher emerges.

The game’s difficulty levels vary based on the grid size and the number of gopher hole pairs. Younger players will enjoy solving the basic puzzles on Level 1 (6 x 6 Playfield).
