Full rules and other ways to play
Difficulty and courses
Easy helps you find your rhythm; Hard asks for a tighter line; Hero adds border water and white out-of-bounds edges, including marked obstacles, with no rebounds. Those hazards cost one penalty stroke and return the ball to its previous lie. Earlier Hero rounds remain under Hero original. Classic 9 is also available.
Daily layouts change at midnight UTC. The same date and difficulty produce the same course. Progress and personal bests are kept separately for each difficulty on this device, when storage is available; earlier scores keep their legacy labels. There are two Attack Lines and one Championship Hole. A dated challenge link lets a friend play that course later.
Aim and shot controls
Aim on the course → Set power → Putt. Tap or click the course to aim. Dragging changes aim and power together; the slider can set power separately. Releasing a drag does not take a shot. The dashed line shows direction, not distance. Bunkers and rough slow the ball and reduce the next shot’s distance. Water costs one stroke and returns the ball to its previous lie. The limit is 10 strokes per hole.
With the course focused, use Left and Right to aim, Up and Down to change power, and Space to putt. Your scorecard and saved progress stay in this browser when device storage is available.
