Candystand Mini Golf Game

About.com Rating five out of Five

By Brent Kelley, About.com

The Bottom Line

Like its sister game, NabiscoWorld Mini-Golf, Candystand's Mini Golf is one of the best free golf games on the Web. Our link accesses through the game through NabiscoWorld because Candystand's format does not allow for direct linking.
Pros
  • Play individually, or as a twosome, threesome or foursome.
  • Practice on any hole, or the front 9 or back 9, or play the full 18 holes.
  • Score for all players automatically recorded and updated after each hole.
Cons
  • Beginners might be frustrated by a few of the difficult holes.

Guide Review - Candystand Mini Golf Game

The Mini Golf game that appears on Candystand is also linked from NabiscoWorld, and that's the link we're using. NabiscoWorld allows for direct linking to the game's start page while Candystand does not.

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.
