On the green

Easy to pick up, hard to ace

Drag back from your ball like a slingshot and release — the dotted line shows your aim and bounce. The harder you pull, the harder you hit.

🌐

Play friends onlineNew

Turn-based matches you take at your own pace — nobody has to be online at the same time. Pick the holes, invite a friend, and get a notification when it's your turn.

⛳

342 holes, 18 themes

From the candy course to the haunted one, every hole has a par to beat — including 18 hand-designed signature holes. Chase birdies, hunt aces, and earn gold.

🧱

Hazards & gadgets

Water, sand, ice, and mud get in your way. Cannons blast you across the green, plus teleports, boosters, and funnels.

🍎

100+ balls to collect

Putt with an apple, a kiwi, a diamond. Earn coins as you play, then spend them on balls, trails, themes, and sounds.

👥

Pass & play

Hand the phone around with up to 6 players in turn-based local multiplayer. Built for couch competitions.

🔨

Build your own holes

Design holes from scratch with a full editor — drop in hazards and gadgets, then play them against a friend online or share them by code.

📴

Plays offline

Solo rounds, pass-and-play, and the editor all run on your device with no connection. No ads and no in-app purchases, ever.

Need a hand?

Found a bug, stuck on a hole, or have an idea? I'd love to hear it.

I read every message and usually reply within a few days. Telling me your device and iOS version helps me track things down faster — and for online matches, roughly when the game was started.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I play?

Drag back from your ball to set the direction and power, then release — like a slingshot. The dotted line previews your aim and how the ball will bounce. A par on each hole tells you the score to beat.

What can I do in the game?

Play 342 holes across 18 themes, including 18 hand-designed signature ones, spend coins in the shop on 100+ balls and other cosmetics, build courses in the hole editor, challenge friends online, and play pass-and-play multiplayer for up to 6 players on one device.

Is there online multiplayer?

Yes. Online rounds are turn-based, so nobody has to be online at the same time — take your shot, put your phone away, and get a notification when it's your turn again. Before you invite anyone you choose the number of holes and the course, and everyone picks their own ball. You can run several matches at once and see the score in each. Online play uses Game Center and needs a connection.

Who can I play online with?

Invite your Game Center friends, or tap Quick match and someone else looking for a game will join yours — they might arrive minutes or hours later, and it simply becomes their turn. There's no chat or messaging in the game — the only things that travel are your golf turns, a friendly "your turn" nudge, and the layout of any hole you built and chose to play on.

Can I play without the internet?

Solo rounds, pass-and-play, and the hole editor are fully playable offline — no account, no connection. Online multiplayer is the one part that needs a connection and a Game Center account. Nothing else in the game touches the network at all.

How is my progress saved?

Everything is stored locally on your device — your level progress, unlocked items, created holes, stats, and settings. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. Online matches in progress are held by Apple's Game Center so you can pick them up again later.

How do I share a hole I made?

In the hole editor, use Share to generate a text code you can send to a friend. They paste it with Import to add that hole to their game. Sharing is manual and offline — there's no online feed. You can also play your own holes in an online match; they travel with the invite, so your opponent doesn't need them.

How do I reset my progress?

Use Reset all progress in Settings for a clean start, or delete the app from your device to remove all of its local data. You can also begin a fresh round at any time without wiping your unlocks.

Are there ads or in-app purchases?

No. There are no ads and no in-app purchases — it's the whole game, start to finish. Every ball, trail, and theme is earned by playing.

What if someone builds a hole that isn't appropriate?

Pause the match and tap ⚑ Report this hole. Pick a reason and your mail app opens with a message to me, already filled in with a picture of the hole, the code that recreates it, and who you were playing — read it over, then send. Every report comes straight to my inbox and I look at all of them. There's no gallery or feed in the game, and a hole you receive in a match is never saved to your device.

What ages is it for?

Family-friendly throughout. It's bright, cartoon mini golf with no graphic content — just putting. Online play has no chat or messaging, and parents can restrict or turn off multiplayer entirely in Settings › Screen Time › Content & Privacy Restrictions.

What devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later. The game plays in landscape.

Your data stays on your device

Last updated: 12 September 2026

Kevin's Mini Golf ("the App") stores your game data on your device. The developer operates no servers of any kind, collects nothing automatically, and does not sell or share personal data. Optional online multiplayer uses Apple's Game Center, and you may choose to email a report about a hole; both are described below.

What we store locally

The App uses your device's local storage to save:

Your level progress, unlocked items, and created holes
Your statistics, records, and achievements
Your in-app preferences (sound, music, theme, active player, and similar)

This data stays on your device. It is not transmitted to any server, and the developer has no access to it.

Online multiplayer and Game Center

Online play is optional, and the rest of the App works without it. If you use it, the App communicates with Game Center, a service operated by Apple — not by the developer. Game Center handles:

Your Game Center player identifier and display name, which the other players in your match can see
Match state — the course, scores, and ball positions of games in progress — stored on Apple's servers so a match can continue between sessions
Leaderboard scores for Online Wins and Holes in One
"Your turn" notifications and reminders

The developer does not collect, retain, or have access to this data. It is governed by Apple's privacy policy and by your own Game Center settings, which you can manage in Settings › Game Center on your device.

There is no chat, messaging, or free-text feature between players anywhere in the App. Names you give your own custom holes stay on your device — if you use those holes in an online match, the names are replaced with generic labels before the course is sent, so no text you write ever reaches another player.

Reporting a hole

Online play lets you use holes you built yourself, so a hole another player designed can appear in your match. If one isn't appropriate, the pause menu has Report this hole.

Choosing a reason opens your own mail app with a message you can read and edit before sending. It contains the reason you picked, a picture of the hole and the text code that recreates it, the match identifier, and the other player's Game Center display name. Nothing is sent unless you send it, and nothing is gathered in the background. Reports arrive by email and are used only to review what was built.

No third-party services

The App does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash-reporting services, and contains no third-party SDKs. Everything it needs — artwork, sounds, fonts, and the holes themselves — is bundled with the App, so it makes no network request outside Game Center. (This website is hosted on GitHub Pages and loads its typefaces from Google Fonts; the App does neither.)

No purchases

The App contains no in-app purchases and no real-money transactions.

Children

The App is suitable for all ages and the developer collects no personal data from users of any age. Online multiplayer is optional and provided entirely through Apple's Game Center, which has its own age and privacy controls. Parents can restrict or disable multiplayer and Game Center in Settings › Screen Time › Content & Privacy Restrictions.

Data deletion

All App data is stored on your device. To remove everything, delete the App — iOS will remove all of its associated data. Game Center data, including match history and leaderboard scores, is managed by Apple through your Game Center account settings.
