Opening November 2 · A daily golf strategy game

One hole a day.
No mulligans.

Lay up short of the water, or take on the carry? Each day everyone gets the same hole and the same 5‑handicap golfer, so the only difference is the calls you make: which club, and where to aim. The game shows what each choice cost against the best play it found, and the leaderboard shows who played it smartest.

The first hole goes live here at midnight Pacific on Monday, November 2. It's free, takes about two minutes a day and plays in your browser, with nothing to download.

How it plays

Pick a club. Drag to aim. Hold to swing.

There's no timing and no power meter. Every shot lands somewhere inside its club's spread, as in real golf, and you play the next one from wherever it finishes. Picking your club and your line is the game.

  1. 1

    Pick a club

    Driver to lob wedge, each with its true carry. Wedges also take shorter swings.

  2. 2

    Drag to aim

    Put the target anywhere. The yardage book gives the distance to the pin, the water, the sand and the green on your line.

  3. 3

    Hold to swing

    The ball flies, bounces and rolls on real terrain in the day's wind. Putting is automatic and depends on distance and slope.

The standard golfer

A 5-handicap with a 250-yard driver. Everyone plays as this golfer, so your own handicap doesn't matter. Only your decisions do.

Scoring

Every decision rated

After every shot, the game compares your club and line with the best play it found from the same spot, then tells you how many strokes your choice cost and why. A bad bounce doesn't hurt your rating, and the leaderboards rank your decisions. Sign in and invite your friends, and you play a match against each of them every day without doing a thing: “You're 3 up on Sam this month.”

Expected SGStrokes gained from your decisions, averaged over every way the shot could have gone. The leaderboards rank this.
Actual SGStrokes gained from what really happened, luck and all.

The holes

Fifty holes at launch

Famous holes from the US and the UK, classic designs architects still copy (the Redan, the Eden, the Cape and the Punchbowl), all 18 holes of Wilmette Golf Club, and five originals of our own. Each one is drawn like an illustrated yardage book, in 3D.

Holes come back after about two months, with a different pin, wind and firmness.
