The game uses an overhead view of each hole. Players progress through the course by making tee shots, approach shots, and putts. A three-step swing meter determines power and accuracy, so timing matters on every stroke. Wind affects ball flight, while fairways, rough, sand traps, and greens all influence roll and stopping distance. The goal is to finish each hole in the fewest strokes possible.

Study wind direction and distance before each shot, and adjust aim conservatively when needed. On long shots, prioritize control over maximum power to avoid overshooting or landing in hazards. Near the green, focus on placement and stopping power rather than raw distance. On the putting surface, pay close attention to slope and remaining distance.
