Written by Lynnette on October 8, 2005 | Comments (0)

If you love playing golf (or just prefer the online version, like me), then you'll enjoy the variety of golf courses available to you right here at your computer.

Choose from regular 18-hole golf courses or try your hand at some putt-putt miniature golf courses complete with slopes, obstacles and everything you'd expect to find at a "real" course.

Plus, for kids of all ages, and golfers of all skill levels, you'll find everything from the super simple to courses with challenging obstacles.

Listen to Bud Light's Real American Heroes "Mr. Putt Putt Golf Course Designer":

So, if you can't make it to the golf course today, try one of these.

Pick your favorite...

Play A Few Holes Of Golf Online
Cure your craving for a round of golf with these 18-hole online golf games.

Driving Range -- try your hand at some long shots... complete with laughter, booing, hissing, and applause. For the record, I mostly got laughed at! (It plays fine even if you don't download the "HyperLoad files".)
Pin High Country Club Desert Golf -- somewhat realistic with chirping birds, water, sand, and other "actual" obstacles.
Ryder Cup Challenge -- some say it's the closest thing to actually playing golf.
Blasters -- a kids golf game from Sports Illustrated for Kids (SIKIDS).
Crazy Golf -- 18 tricky holes of purely perilous putting.
Java Golf -- follow the directions on the game, click on the course to aim and follow the black line as a direction indicator.
3D Golf -- it tracks your personal stats and has a scoreboard.
3D Speed Golf -- 9 holes against the clock... the faster you sink it the more points you get.
Golf Pitching Game -- ten levels of pitching accuracy against the clock and the wind.
Big Golf -- Look in the left corner at "Hole Info" for the number of yards to the first cup. Based on that number, select the best club, and then SWING!
CornNuts Teed Off -- try your hand at this driving range with some crazy obstacles.

Play Miniature Golf Online
If putt-putt is more your style, then you'll enjoy these miniature golf games online.

Mini-Putt Online Game -- a pretty straightforward game of mini-golf.
Carpet Golf 3D -- click on the field in the direction you want to swing and an aiming arrow will appear (the size of the arrow indicates the force). Press SWING to initiate the shot, then release the SWING button when the red aim indicator is at the center of its range.
Nabisco Mini Golf -- you get to work your way through lots of crazy obstacles like cookies and crackers and breadcrumbs. Just TRY to make par on this one!
Nabisco Mini-Mini Golf -- even more challenging than their "standard" miniature golf game. (It plays fine even if you don't download the "HyperLoad files".)
Lookout Now Mini Golf Game -- use your mouse to line up your putter (blue means you're right on target and the spacebar indicates the strength of your stroke). Try to get the ball in the hole with as few strokes as possible to score high!
King Putt -- mini golf with some pretty crazy obstacles.
