Playing Rules of Minigolf

Minigolf is played using a putter and a ball. The objective is to complete each lane (hole) in as few strokes as possible. The player with the lowest total score wins.

A standard minigolf course consists of 18 numbered lanes, and players must complete them in order without skipping.

Basic Objective

Hit the ball from the teeing off area towards the hole.

Each stroke counts as one point.

The team with the fewest total points determines the winner.
