- Before playing any of the games, make sure your computer has the latest software updates. Many of the games run using browser-based software such as Shockwave or Java. Download those browser add-ons at their official websites. Flash games should automatically play, but the Adobe Flash Player may be needed as well. The most recent software updates ensure that the games work properly so you don't miss a minute of fun.
- One of the biggest collections of golf games can be found at NetGolfGames.com. The site's vast and varied offerings include golf simulation, mini-golf and even Frisbee golf. The games are organized by type and most utilize the mouse during play. The site has an assortment of 3-D and 2-D games with a range in graphics quality.
- Candystand.com features both mini-golf and standard golf games. The mini-golf game offers a great challenge as its holes distract you with candy decorations such as Life Savers and other name brands. The full golf course offers multiple options for play, including 9-hole or 18-hole courses. Candystand's games feature realistic ball movements and physics.
- Nabisco took a page from Candystand at NabiscoWorld.com, with the snack company's products scattered across 18 holes of mini-golf. The holes can be more challenging than Candystand's, but the frustration keeps you playing longer as you try to improve your score and reach the high-score board. A full course is also available on the website, but it's less comprehensive than the mini-golf game.
- Miniclip.com is host to hundreds of online games and mini-golf is one of them. In the site's version of mini-golf, one or two players compete---using their choice of four avatars---on a standard mini-golf course. The game is more entertaining with two players, but the players must be on the same computer.
