Backyard Mini Golf Overview
Backyard Mini Golf was one of those simple Flash games you'd find in the early 2000s. It fit right in with the era of browser games you played for a few minutes between tasks. The developer was not widely publicized, but it was a common sight on many game portals.
You control a golf ball with your mouse, clicking and dragging to set the angle and power of your putt. The main objective is to get the ball into the hole on each course while navigating around obstacles. You have to account for the slope of the green and avoid things like garden gnomes, flower beds, or small ponds that can block your path. The game starts gently but introduces trickier layouts with narrower passages and more severe angles. It feels like a quiet, thoughtful puzzle where each shot requires a bit of calculation and a steady hand.
