Shot the ball and draw the target trajectory. And like the actual golf, the protagonist moves through the place where the ball has fallen and aims to be in the hole. However, in this work, it is necessary to go around the stage within the default percent (number of shots). When the count is exceeded, the stage is started over. Unnecessary shots are forbidden.

On the course, bunkers (sandy lands) and rough (rough turf) are located, as well as thorn floors where the ball disappears when it falls. In addition, various obstacles such as TNT bombs and teleport zones are located. Equipped with a function called Pardi Eye, which allows you to overlook such courses. It is possible to assume the path of capture in advance. On the other hand, depending on the course, there are cases where percent is not enough in the first place. In that case, the percent can be recovered by applying the ball to the object called the image of the shot. In addition, there seems to be a special shot skill, such as stopping the ball in the air and dropping it directly below.
