Garden Putt
Putt softly, score sweetly. Each short garden hole is built for quick retries, satisfying bounces, and one more clever angle, with a daily route to come back for tomorrow.
What you do
Garden Putt is a sunny mini-golf stroll through 27 handcrafted garden holes plus a seeded Daily Garden challenge. Drag back from the ball, release into a soft putt, bounce off stones and mushrooms, time the windmills and bees, and collect clovers and golden flowers when the detour looks worth it.
- Classic 27-hole garden round across Cottage Green, Pond Path, and Windmill Garden plus a same-for-everyone Daily Garden seed.
- Drag-to-aim putting with a clear power preview and soft garden bounces.
- Flowerbed walls, stone borders, ponds, mud, sand, spinning windmills, bees, hoses, mushrooms, and gnomes.
- Clover and golden flower collectibles for bonus score.
- One to three stars per hole, local bests, achievements, and shareable scores.

Tips worth knowing
