About This Game
Boardwalk Putt is eighteen holes of seaside mini golf built on honest physics rather than a scripted putt. The ball rolls, decelerates, banks off the pink rails, and — on a putt hit too hard — genuinely lips out of the cup instead of being magnetically pulled in. That last detail is the whole game: the cup will reject a putt that arrives too fast, so the difference between a birdie and a three-putt is usually restraint, not aim.
The course carries the boardwalk furniture you'd expect and a few you wouldn't: sand that eats your pace, water you have to route around rather than through, fixed blocks, moving barriers, and a windmill whose arms are real moving wall segments rather than decoration.
How to Play
Drag back from the ball to set your line and power — the further you pull, the harder the putt — and release to hit. A dotted guide previews the line while you hold. You get one mulligan per round, so a putt that ends up somewhere hopeless isn't automatically a lost hole.
Four ways to play: Front 9 and Back 9 are the two halves of the fixed course, Full 18 is the whole thing in one sitting, and Daily 9 builds a nine-hole card from that day's seed — the same nine holes in the same order for every player, worldwide.
Strategy Tips
- A full-power putt cannot sink, even dead center — the cup lips it out and locks it out of re-capturing on the same pass. When you're close, the answer is almost always less power.
- Use the pink rails deliberately. Several holes are far easier banked off a side wall than threaded directly, and the bounce is predictable enough to aim.
- Sand doesn't just slow the ball, it kills your run-out — plan a route around it even if the direct line looks shorter by a foot.
- On the windmill hole, watch a full rotation before you pull back. The arms are solid moving walls, and timing the gap costs nothing while aiming into one costs a stroke.
- Save your single mulligan for a hole where you're genuinely stuck behind an obstacle, not for a putt that merely came up short — a short putt is still a makeable next stroke.
