About Mini Golf
Three little greens are seen from above, each with a flag in the hole. Pulling back sets the direction and strength, and white dots show where the ball will roll. Walls bounce it, sand slows it down and a pond sends it back to the spot it was hit from.
How to play
- Pull back from anywhere on the green and let go to putt.
- Tap a spot on the green to roll the ball there.
- On a computer, aim with the arrow keys and putt with Space.
What your child practices
- Judging distance and strength
- Planning a shot off a wall
