Miniature golf is a branch of golf that focuses solely on the putting aspect of the main game. The aim of the game is to score the fewest points. It is played on courses that consist of a series of holes (usually a multiple of 9) similar to its parent, but with shorter lengths.
The game uses a geometric layout that requires artificial putting surfaces (such as carpet, artificial turf, or concrete), non-traditional putting lines, usually bank shots, and artificial obstacles such as tunnels, tubes, ramps, and movable obstacles such as windmills, concrete, metal, or fiberglass walls. Miniature golf, while retaining many of these features, is essentially a mini version of the main game, with no props or obstacles.
