A little twist on mini golf. Classic putting, but every match is brand new. Aim, putt, read the bounce. Challenge friends or random opponents to a match - the courses are generated fresh, so there's no perfect line to memorize. EASY TO PICK UP, TOUGH TO MASTER The controls take seconds to learn. Sinking that hole-in-one past the bumpers, spinners, portals, sand traps, and exploding brick walls? That's the challenge. CAMPAIGN MODE 1,000 hand-tuned levels across ten worlds, each with a three-star rating to chase. Progress unlocks a growing collection of golf ball skins. DAILY CHALLENGE One new 6-hole course for everyone, every single day. Post your score to the global leaderboard and keep your streak alive. PLAY WITH FRIENDS OR RANDOM OPPONENTS Share a link for a private match, or hit Quick Match for a 1-on-1 with a random player. It's turn-based, so you can take your shot at your leisure. COLLECT AND CUSTOMIZE Earn more than 60 golf ball skins, from classic dimpled whites to sparkling gems, plus trophies with signature effects all their own. Show them off in matches to flex against opponents. TEN LIVING WORLDS Putt through sunny meadows, glittering ice, golden desert, the deep sea, dense jungle, a smoldering volcano, cherry blossom groves, a palm-lined coast, rugged highlands, and the wide savanna, each with its own art and wildlife. Penguins, elephants, flamingos, red pandas, and monkeys wander the edges of the green while you line up your shot. REPLAY AND SHARE Watch instant replays of your round, then export a shareable GIF of that ridiculous bank shot to send to your friends. BUILT TO PLAY YOUR WAY Accessibility is baked in, not bolted on. Turn on color-blind modes tuned to the exact color pairs you need to read on the green. Switch on Reduce Motion to calm screen shake, zoom, and pan — it even follows your device setting automatically. Bump up the text size, thicken the high-contrast aim line, dial back effects, or toggle haptics. And nothing important is ever signaled by sound alone — every effect has an on-screen cue. AND MORE - Free to play - Campaign is playable offline, anywhere - Smooth, satisfying physics - Unlock achievements - Quick rounds built for a coffee break - Extensive accessibility options Grab your putter. The green is waiting.
