A first embodiment of the invention presented herein describes a miniature golf game that has three components, a putting green, a tee base, and obstacles. The putting base comprised of a tee platform, a tee and bumps representing obstacles. The putting green has one or more depressions simulating sand trap hazards and/or water hazards and a rotatable disk having hole simulating a golf cup, the center of hole positioned away from the center of the rotatable disk By positioning the putting green in various orientations relative to the tee base, orienting the tee base in various positions relative the putting green, placing the obstacles in various positions between the putting green and the tee base, and finally rotating the rotatable disk relative to the putting position so the hole from the putting green, a virtually infinite number layouts may be created.
