Mini Golf
Precision putting on themed obstacles. Every shot is the short game.
How it's played
The rules
The objective
Putt the ball into the cup on each hole in the fewest strokes. Holes are short, creative, and include ramps, tunnels, banks, and themed obstacles.
Stroke limits
Most courses cap each hole at 6 or 7 strokes. If you haven't holed out by the cap, you take the cap score and move on. The host sets the cap before the event.
Out-of-bounds
If the ball leaves the playing surface, replay from the spot it left with a one-stroke penalty — or from the tee, depending on house rules. Combat Golf events lock this rule per event.
