Guide Review - Candystand Mini Golf Game

The NabiscoWorld Mini-Golf and Candystand Mini Golf (one has a dash, the other doesn't) are very, very similar games. In fact, they are identical in the way they are played and in the their style.

The holes are all different, however, and so is the theme. Candystand's hazards are often Lifesavers candies or variations on that theme.

Like NabiscoWorld's Mini-Golf, Candystand's Mini Golf has some challening holes and unusual hazards. First-time visitors can easily score in the double digits on the tougher holes.

But the game offers great practice options and if you eventually get good enough, maybe you'll be listed in the best scores Hall of Fame.

Mini Golf is one of the best free online miniature golf games. And even better, it's completely free - no money and no information is required. Candystand (or NabiscoWorld) doesn't even ask you to register.
