Players compete across golf holes while choosing clubs, judging distance, selecting shot direction, and controlling the timing or power of each stroke. The objective is to complete a round in as few strokes as possible, with hazards, greens, and course layout affecting decisions.

The defining feature is the course designer. Users can construct and modify holes, place terrain and hazards, save layouts, and return to play their creations. The game is best approached as both a single-player golf simulation and a toolkit for producing repeatable custom courses.

Study the hole layout before selecting a club, especially the position of water, bunkers, trees, and out-of-bounds areas. Favor a safe landing area over maximum distance when a hazard threatens the next shot.

In the designer, test each hole from multiple tee positions and confirm that the intended route is playable. Save versions regularly so that an experimental change does not ruin a working course.
