Putt Rush

Putt Rush is a free mini golf game you play right in your browser: a fourteen-hole putt-putt course on a clifftop by the sea at sunset, one two-minute clock, and a slingshot putt. Pull back from the ball, watch the putter draw back, the power ring fill and the dotted line stretch across the felt, and let go. The holes keep coming until the time runs out, so the game is simple to state: sink as many holes as you can, in as few strokes as you can, before the horn. There is nothing to download or install, and a round is over in two minutes.

The course is the same for everyone and it is played in order, like a real mini golf course. The first hole is a gentle par 2 with a bowl around the cup that gathers any sensible putt, so everyone sinks it. Then the classics arrive one at a time: wooden rails to bank off, a beach bunker, a red-and-white windmill whose turning sails block the tunnel every few seconds, a hill that breaks your putt, a stone pond, a row of kick bumpers, a jump ramp that flies the ball over a creek if you hit it firmly enough, a sliding gate, a pipe that swallows a slow ball and pops it out near the cup, tide pools, a volcano with the cup on its crown and a par-4 S to finish. Each hole can be mirrored, so you read it fresh every round, but every player faces the same course.

Putting is all about the pull. The direction of your drag sets the line and its length sets the power, with extra precision on short putts so a tap-in stays easy. The physics is real mini golf: the ball slows on the felt, grinds to a halt in sand, bends on slopes, bounces off the rails at a lively angle and only drops into the cup when it arrives slowly enough. Too fast and it lips out and rolls on. A ball in the water costs a penalty stroke and goes back to where you played it, and after six strokes a hole is picked up so the round keeps moving. The windmill's sails are exactly as wide as they look: watch them turn, then release as the tunnel opens.

Scoring rewards precision and pace. Every hole you sink is worth 1,000 points plus 500 for each stroke under double bogey, so a par earns 2,000 and a birdie on a par 3 earns 2,500, and a hole in one adds a 1,000-point bonus on top. A quick, tidy round plays more holes, and a putt still rolling when the clock hits zero can drop for a buzzer beater. The scorecard at the end shows every hole, your total to par and your score, and the leaderboard ranks how far round the course you got and how well you played it.

You can play with touch, mouse or keyboard. On a phone, turn it sideways and pull back with your finger; on a computer, drag with the mouse. Keyboard players turn the aim with the left and right arrow keys, fine-tune with up and down, and hold Space to charge a power meter that rises and falls until they let go. Every ranked round is replayed and verified on our servers before it counts, so the leaderboards show real putts only.

Putt Rush is part of our sports games, golf games and aim games, and it fits right in with our other quick games and skill games. If you enjoy a bouncing ball and a clean angle, try the physics games too, or browse all our free online games with no download.
