Golf Battle is a minigolf game that plays out on stunning courses that vary based on environment and season. A player must successfully complete each putt-putt course with as few shots as possible before a timer counts down to zero. In arid regions, the ball experiences more friction on the checkerboard carpets. In snowscapes and other cold terrains, it experiences less friction.
The player must direct the ball up, through and around obstacles, including up tall ramps, across open pits that fall into sand, around water traps and through windmill blades. They earn the most money for a hole in one. If they can't achieve a single-shot win, then their earnings are based on total shots.
The player can achieve some of the best shots by bouncing the ball at angles off side walls and objects. They hit the ball by creating a special targeting arrow that applies a direction to it and determines the amount of force from the hit. The player doesn't use a physical putter. Instead, they use the arrow with mini directional arrows along its length and colors (green, yellow and red) indicating the power and scope of the shot.
