Mini Golf Tips

  1. Firm, not fast. The ball has to be slowing down when it reaches the cup. Aim to roll a little past it if you miss.
  2. Bank with mirrors. The ball comes off a wall at the angle it went in. Imagine the cup reflected in the wall and aim straight at the reflection.
  3. Play safe near water. A penalty stroke plus a replay costs two. Take the longer, dry route.
  4. Stay out of the sand. It kills the ball's speed; go round it, or hit firmly enough to roll through.
  5. Use the bumpers. A bumper can redirect a ball into a spot you can't reach directly.
  6. Leave an easy next putt. On long holes, aim for the open, flat area near the cup rather than the cup itself.

The computer on hard reads the course well; easy misses often. Hint shows a good line and strength. Play mini golf or read the rules.

Frequently asked questions

The ball leaves a wall at the same angle it arrives. Picture the cup's mirror image behind the wall and aim at that.
