The object of Mini Golf is to complete all the holes within the set time period with as few strokes as possible. You can scroll through the map of each hole?s layout and obstacles using your arrow keys. To putt, move your mouse around your golfer to change his direction and aim your shot. Then use the directional arrows that will appear on the screen to aim, and move the mouse away from the golfer to gain power. (You can use the power bar below the character as a gauge) Finally, left-click your mouse to hit the ball.

If your golfer moves and blocks your view of the ball, you can hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard to temporarily make your golfer invisible. Hit the ball past all the obstacles, around the corners and into the cup. There is a limit of 15 strokes per hole.

During each hole, your score is displayed at the top of the game area.
