Ace Putt is a modern twist on traditional miniature golf, focusing on the excitement of
scoring a hole-in-one. It introduces a unique three-ball system and scoring method, adding
a new layer of strategy and fun to the game.
Ace Putt is designed for players of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned
golfer or new to the game, Ace Putt offers an engaging and enjoyable experience.
Ace Putt is played using three color-coded balls (3-ball, 2-ball, 1-ball), each worth different points.
Players must always play in the order: 3-ball → 2-ball → 1-ball.
Each ball can be played normally, or once per game, it can use a tap-in to complete a shot or assist another ball.
Scoring happens only on the final level of a multi-level hole.
Players rotate tee order until someone scores—after that, the highest scorer tees off first on the next hole.
Ace Putt uses a point-based scoring method where each ball has its own value:
3-ball: 3 points for a hole-in-one
2-ball: 2 points for a hole-in-one
1-ball: 1 point for a hole-in-one
If all three balls get a hole-in-one on the same hole—natural, tap-in, or mixed—the player earns an additional 5 bonus points.
Each ball gets one tap-in per game.
A tap-in allows you to:
Push that ball directly into the hole, or
Strike another ball to knock it into the hole
Once a ball’s tap-in is used, it cannot be used again for the rest of the game. Natural strokes can still continue as normal.
Some Ace Putt partner courses include holes with multiple levels connected by tubes or tunnels.
If a ball drops into a tube, it continues to the next level and stays in play
After exiting the tube, the ball is played from the new position
Scoring only happens on the final level of the hole
Any hole-in-one made on the final level counts toward normal scoring and the Ace Bonus
No. Every hole uses all three balls, played in the same order: the 3-ball, then the 2-ball, then the 1-ball. Scoring is the same on every hole (3, 2 and 1 points for a hole-in-one), and sinking all three balls still earns the +5 Ace Bonus.

No, but it makes the game easier. One phone can keep score for the whole group. Friends who have the app can join your round with a 6-character code, so the round also counts toward their own stats and badges.
Start a round in the app and tap Invite on the scorecard. Share the 6-character code; friends enter it under “Join a friend’s round” and tap their name. The host keeps score, and friends can follow the scorecard live on their own phones.
There are 20 badges, 10 for Ace Putt and 10 for traditional play, such as First Ace, Triple Threat (sink all three balls on a hole), Hot Hand and Flawless. They’re awarded automatically when you finish a round, and you can see them on your badge wall.
