How to Play, Without the Guesswork
FRONT 9 is built to be readable from the first tee. Focus on your line, commit to each swing, and let every hole sharpen your feel.
Quick Start Checklist
- Pick your target line first, then build the shot around it.
- Use controlled power for a more consistent strike.
- Adjust after each result. Small refinements win the round.
How to Play
Master the shot flow in four precise moves
A clean rhythm from setup to finish, before your first swing.
Aim the shot
Use the left and right arrows or hold the right mouse button and drag. Check wind and elevation before committing.
Choose the club
Use [ and ], scroll the mouse wheel, or use the arrows beside the club name. Compare the displayed carry with the distance you need.
Control the power
Hold the left mouse button and pull down to set power. For keyboard play, press Space to start the meter and again to set power.
Strike with confidence
Keep holding and push up through the starting point, staying inside the swing lane. On keyboard, press Space a third time at the contact mark.
On the Course
Read the lie. Play the next shot.
Use the putter on the green. The roll is shorter than a full shot, and downhill putts run farther. The contour grid shows the slope. Water and out of bounds cost one penalty stroke and return the ball to the previous lie.
