Play Garden Putt

How to play Garden Putt

Putt along mown fairways around long grass, ponds, spinning windmills, bees, and tiny garden trick shots.

1. Choose a round on the title screen: Full Garden, one of the three courses, or Daily Garden, then press Play.
2. Press anywhere on the green and pull back, away from where you want the ball to go. The arrow and power bar show the putt.
3. Let go to putt. Pull back to where you started to cancel.
4. Stay on the light, mown fairway where you can. The darker long grass slows the ball to about a third of its roll.
5. A ball that rolls into a pond costs one penalty stroke and drops back at the last dry spot it passed.
6. Bank off rails and mushrooms, and time the windmills, bees, and ducks.
7. Sink the putt under par for three stars, at par for two, or in any number of strokes for one.
