Start here

Quick Start

  1. 1

    Choose positions

    4 players slide toward the wall. Closest to the wall chooses a color first. Tied players slide again.

  2. 2

    Re-tee each turn

    Start on hole 1. At the start of every turn, place your puck on the tee box of your current hole, with part of the puck touching the box.

  3. 3

    Take turns

    Shoot in Red, White, Blue, Black order. Leave every puck where it stops. Collisions are legal.

  4. 4

    Score and pick up

    After everyone shoots, check final puck positions, advance completed holes, apply hazard penalties, and pick up every puck. Re-tee for the next turn.

Keep in mind

Core rules.

Hole Order

Play holes 1–9 in order unless everyone agrees to a different variation.

Greens

A majority of your puck—more than half—must be inside the correct green to complete the hole.

Puck Placement

Leave every puck where it stops, even on a green, until everyone has shot. Then pick them all up.

Collisions

You may hit other pucks, including knocking them off greens or into hazards.

End of Turn

After everyone shoots, check completed holes and apply penalties. Everyone re-tees on their current hole for the next turn.

Winning

Complete all nine holes first to win. If players finish hole 9 in the same round, they enter a playoff.

Playoffs.

There are no tied games. Players tied after hole 9 play extra holes until one player wins.

Among the tied players, whoever landed in the ninth green first chooses the first playoff hole. Players alternate choosing each additional playoff hole.

Penalties at a glance

Hazards.

Before applying a penalty

Wait until everyone has taken their shot. Only the puck’s final position counts. Apply the result before picking up the pucks.

Hazard boundary
More than half the puck must be inside the hazard for its rule to apply.
Collision relief
If another puck knocks yours out of the hazard before the round ends, there is no penalty from that hazard.
Close calls
Players agree on the puck’s position before play continues.
Area Penalty What happens next
Bunker

Stay on the same hole. On your next shot, re-tee and bank off a wall or another player’s puck before entering the green. If you miss the green or fail to make the bank, stay on that hole. A new finish in sand gives you the bank requirement again.

Water

Move back two holes. On your next turn, re-tee from that hole. You cannot move back past hole 1.

Out of bounds

Move back one hole. On your next turn, re-tee from that hole. You cannot move back past hole 1.

Tee box

No penalty. Tee boxes are in play.

The goal

Complete all nine first.
