Sunshine Golf

A sunny golf game in the spirit of the classic golf games. Play the 18 hole Classic course, and shoot par or better to unlock Remix, a new course every time. Your round saves as you go, so you can stop and pick it up later.

Built with LittleJS, my free and open source game engine.

⛳ How to Play

• Click once to start the swing.
• Click again to set the power. Stop it at the end for full distance.
• Click a third time on the white area to hit it straight. Too early slices, too late hooks.

🌞 Tips

• The trajectory display ignores the wind, so you need to account for it.
• Backspin stops the ball sooner, topspin rolls it farther.
• On the green, read the slope grid: blue is uphill, red is downhill.
• Hold the swing button while the ball is in the air to speed it up.
• Water and out of bounds cost a stroke.
