About this game

Crazy Golf is an early golf-themed puzzle game with nine holes viewed from above. Each hole challenges you to position and ricochet the ball through barriers, gaps, corridors, and other hazards.

The game offers 16 shot angles and 16 shot paces. Rebounds always occur at precise 90-degree angles without reducing the ball's pace, and the ball does not rebound from the hole. Holes can be skipped for a score of 12 if you get stuck.

There are no moving hazards, making the challenge one of careful positioning. The courses progress from simple vertical barriers to randomly placed blocks, curved barriers, narrow corridors, and a final par-12 hole combining these elements.
