What makes the game tricky is the sensitivity required to control the ball. Hit too hard and you might overshoot. If you hit too gently, your ball might slide back from the hole. The variety of courses allow you to think about the right way to approach your shot. When the hole is at a higher level, you can strategize to hit the ball a little harder. This way, even if the ball overshoots, it can slide smoothly back to the hole. There are plenty of tricky courses that will surely keep you challenged and amused.

You have three tries. Shooting won’t cost you a ball, but your ball rolling offscreen will. The right balance of power is critical to getting your ball past the terrain of each hole. But it shouldn’t be too strong lest you drive your ball offscreen. The trick is to let the physics engine of the game do much of the work for you. Just like in real life!

Much like in the real game, you need a steady, controlled hand to master Mini Golf. Fortunately, it’s not a steep learning curve. You soon learn to temper each stroke after each hole.
