Kinda Hard Golf rules and how to play
Kinda Hard Golf is a daily physics golf climb rather than a scorecard round. Every day a fresh course appears, and you have to drag, aim and shoot a ball upward to the finish while using as few strokes as you can. Here is how the controls work, what checkpoints do and how the daily hole is scheduled.
What is Kinda Hard Golf?
Kinda Hard Golf is a browser golf game that the makers describe as challenging and fun, where each day brings a new course. It is built around skill, patience and finesse: the goal is to reach the top in as few shots as possible rather than to complete a fixed eighteen holes.
The game runs entirely in the browser on desktop or mobile, is free and family-friendly, and needs no installation. Scores can be compared with friends, and the site also hosts a custom map editor that is currently in alpha.
How to play Kinda Hard Golf
Drag the ball to set your aim, then release to shoot. The shot follows a physical arc, so you are judging angles and bounce as much as power.
Climb to the top using the fewest strokes. Each hole shows its par, and your stroke count for the round is what you are trying to keep low.
Land on flags to save your progress: checkpoints keep you from falling back to the bottom when a shot goes wrong. The site occasionally announces events where checkpoints are switched off, so the banner on the home page is worth a glance before you start.
The daily hole
A new numbered hole appears each day for everyone, and the same board stays up until tomorrow's course replaces it. Past days are not the point of this game: it is a single shared challenge that resets daily, which is what makes the streaks comparable between friends.
Between dailies you can build your own maps in the editor and share them through the site's Discord community. This page never shows a current course layout, solution path or shortcut.
