I remember as a kid getting this game for my family's Windows 98.. I have 2 brothers and every Saturday we would sit down after dinner and play a game of some sort..on my turns to pick always went with 3d ultra MG.. my family was so competitive and always had a blast....wouldn't trade those times for a million dollars...thanks for bringing back great memories....
As many others have said before, this game is pure nostalgia. I played this over and over as a kid.. The Dinosaur level always comes to mind when I think back to this game
It seems so simple and primitive by today's standards, despite the undeniable creativity put into it....but man, back in the day, this was MINDBLOWING stuff. The idea of putting a ball and watching it get launched over a crocodile by a jack-in-the-box was so fascinating, unlike anything you could ever do in real life - and yet, it was so familiar, it was like the 90s equivalent of a VR experience. Also I want to say after getting the ball over the croc, if you shot the ball at his head just right, he would snap his jaw open and fling it backwards toward the hole. I remember hitting it in the water a bunch trying to get it to happen.
My mind is blown, I don't remember there being this many holes. I played this when I was real little & I can remember there being 3 holes but the only 2 I have a strong memory of are the mining & garage holes. I remembered the garage one being like a secret lab with a crocodile & a toaster & I kept trying my best to find the name of this game by putting in info on that hole but came up short. It was the final hole in the one I played with the mining hole being first or second. I had no idea there were more holes, I remember wanting more as a kid because I kept replaying this thinking something different would happen. It's just nice knowing this game actually existed & I wasn't remembering something that wasn't real since I couldn't find anyone who knew what this is. It was so weird seeing this, I decided to attempt looking it up again because the music for the mining hole started playing in my head & I got so frustrated that I couldn't find anything on this game. So happy I finally found it.
Yeah, that was the demo. I couldn't remember which holes it was but I remember the "Ya, you have to hit the ball through the wind-MILL" line, it only made sense for that to be one of them. But then I also remember the mine (the sinking stones were annoying) and the Incredible Machine/garage was so cool, because I loved that game, and I didn't think it was 16 holes deep. But I eventually got the full game and played all the holes, it's weird how much more I remember some of them more than others though, some I barely even recognize....
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Been looking EVERYWHERE FOR THIS!! Was trying so hard to remember this nostalgic game I payed as a child and you uploaded this! You absolutely R.O.C.K!!!!!! CHEERS! 🍻🍺🍺
did you ever aim for the left of the haunted house, hit that bright tombstone and the ball banks into the house and the ghost drops it right in the hole.
I LOVED this game when I was a kid! I remember when I would play this game on the Little Tikes young explorer PC at a daycare center. Watching this now makes me get very nostalgic.
That's why I remember some of these holes more than the others! I think the demo only had the first 8 holes, ending with the Lost Mine (or perhaps jumping to the Incredible Machine hole, I remembered that one a lot too, but possibly for different reasons). It was all so familiar until the Haunted House hole, which was so jarring to see, and took me a second to remember if Id even played it or not). I think I remember seeing pictures of the Volcano, Temple, and Space Port levels from the full version, and thinking they looked so cool....eventually we got the full game because I definitely remember playing them, but by then I didn't play the full version anywhere near as much as I had obsessed over the demo when it was all we had.
My family does that too! I used to play this all the time when I was about 4 or 5 and I would hit it into the lava in purpose, just to hear them say that! xD
Please tell me I'm not the only one who, as a child, found "crater demolition" and "moon base" to be one of the creepiest levels. Ironically, the "haunted house" didn't creep me out so much as a kid in the years 1998-1999 as the "crater demolition" and "moon base" levels did for some stupid reason. Part of it is the stereotypical eerie alien sound effects in the background combined with the fact, that at the crater demolition level, I did not comprehend why the bulldozer moved back and forth, and why the area for crater demolition (in my kids eyes back then) was so flippin' HUGE and why there was this eerie space music in the background. There was just this eerie feeling to both "moon base" level and "crater demolition" to it from a kid's point of view that is hard to explain...
my dad and I would sit at the computer, put in the cd rom, and play this for hours. this is so nostalgic for me and him. he always chose red. we loved when it would say “GET ON WITH IT RED” when you were taking too long! I want to own it physically just for the memories with him 🥹
Hey! Would you be willing to tell me how you got this game to play with the sound effects intact? Mine game crashes unless I turn off the sound effects and those are some of the best parts IMO! TIA!
He somehow missed the parrot next to the water in the Jungle Ruins. Flies up to the hole every time. Also, in the Bugs hole, the ball will go in the hole if aimed at the anthill.
I still have the CD but I can't install it anymore. I loved this game, I had played it for years, I knew it by heart. I was able to do some courses in 1.
the other thing i always found strange about this game was the game CD had a final audio track for the incredible machine hole, but the game would only play the MIDI file for that hole.
I found that strange watching this. I noticed TIM had a MIDI track as opposed to the others. Pretty sure my copy played CD audio for all. Maybe it was a bug which was fixed for the european release. I still have my copy. Might have to get it running on a Win98 PC or VM some day to check that out🧐
Fun fact: This game actually had a sort of sequel. And no, it's not the Adventure series that came out 10 years later. I'm talking about Minigolf Maniacs, which was a lesser known digital download that used to be available on Sierra's website. It looked similar to the Adventure games, but with cartoon animal characters instead of people.
Same, I don't even remember where I got the demo as a kid, but it included holes 1 (windmill), 9 (lost mine), and 18 (incredible machine). Now I finally get to see the full game!
I miss playing this. Is there any way to get this game today? It's the only one, besides Dead or Alive 4 that I enjoyed playing. You did phenomenal play on this by the way,,woohoo!
this game's music can only be rivaled by Banjo Kazooie's music lol. classic. my childhood in a nutshell. this and putt putt, freddie fish, and spy fox!
am i just remembering incorrectly or wasn't there a swamp monster level in this game? i cant remember what game from my childhood had that level. it used to terrify me.
i only had the demo, i remember the light house and a drive in movie theatre, always used to shoot the ball at the cars to get different reactions. I know the pelican at the light house will drop the ball down one level for you, not sure if it will be a hole in 1 though.
I can't count how many hours I spent on this game as a kid. Thank you devs of this game!!!!

Nostalgia!! You're the best man thanks for uploading this!
@Richard Talon wut
@Richard Talon yeah still don’t care
“GET, YOU CLAIM JUMPER!” And “HEY, YOU HIT IT TOO HARD!” are still classic moments my Dad and I joke about. 🤣
Or "Hey, hey! We's working down here!"
Putt the ball into the well. Maybe that will break the spell.
Takes me right back to the 90's.
lol its hard to believe the haunted house hole actually used to creep me out as a kid.
No dude it scared me too!
Same! Bahaha
Scared me too man I was literally thinking that as I was watching it!!
It still creeps me out tbh
lmfaoooooooooo thats what brought me to look up the game just now

I had the same holes, and the first one was the windmill, that's because we had the demo version on a magazine-like cd rom, not the whole game
Yeah, that was the demo. I couldn't remember which holes it was but I remember the "Ya, you have to hit the ball through the wind-MILL" line, it only made sense for that to be one of them. But then I also remember the mine (the sinking stones were annoying) and the Incredible Machine/garage was so cool, because I loved that game, and I didn't think it was 16 holes deep.

I love it how many people still remember this game. I used to play it all the time when I was about 13 or 14 years old. :) Thank you for the video.
What is this hole in 1 wizardry
5:32 the “Woohoo, yeah!” Always made me laugh! I forgot about that
They have to make a remastered version of this game. Greatest and craziest Minigolf game of all times. :D
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Been looking EVERYWHERE FOR THIS!! Was trying so hard to remember this nostalgic game I payed as a child and you uploaded this! You absolutely R.O.C.K!!!!!! CHEERS! 🍻🍺🍺
I remember all of these!!! This was the best 😂
Wow....the hours I spent playing this with my sister. Shit, we'd have family nights playing this game.
Absolutely awesome! best mini golf game of all time!
did you ever aim for the left of the haunted house, hit that bright tombstone and the ball banks into the house and the ghost drops it right in the hole.
I just got this game today!! I found it in goodwill for $3 "core memory unlocked " never put something in my shopping cart so fast in my adult life
Wow. That's such an amazing find. 👍
This game looks as awesome as I remember it being. Thanks for uploading!
Nostalgic, glad I found this!
I used to play this game on my Uncle's computer all the time! I was around 12 back then. Love this game so much!!
Good game, the video would have been better showing off some of the funny things that happen when you miss/get a penalty
Rohan Zener - Albatross in Jungle Ruins? Just aim for the bird.
You can get a condor doing that too. I've done that many times
I remember the woman narrator in the lava stage sounding... interesting when you hit the ball in the lava
yoo ah naoh wahn wiv da laa-vaa
Or like using the catapult on the medieval castle level even though it's not the most optimal shot.
Great video; it brought back many good memories.
I LOVED this game when I was a kid! I remember when I would play this game on the Little Tikes young explorer PC at a daycare center. Watching this now makes me get very nostalgic.
I remember having a demo of this on the CD mixte (also had 3 audio songs) that came with a games magazine in 1997
That's why I remember some of these holes more than the others! I think the demo only had the first 8 holes, ending with the Lost Mine (or perhaps jumping to the Incredible Machine hole, I remembered that one a lot too, but possibly for different reasons).

Our windows 98 still works so we can still play the Ultra mini-golf from the 90s and other awesome games.
wow when i played this as a kid I remembered it so much differently, those levels looked gigantic probably because I went like +plus 30
Nick Griffith Same here
Same here, same levels but not the same game at all ahah
Nice memories around the Demo of this game that contained the The Incredible Machine course (10:00).
I remember, the demo had the Windmill, Mines, and The Incredible Machine levels.
@Mr Great Dog Game Walkthroughs every puzzle of that game can be found on my channel too!
So many memories of my 7-year-old self getting insanely pissed off at some of these holes lol! Good game though and amazing soundtrack.
You didn't go for the bee in the bugs hole! D:
For real though this brought back memories haha
oh my god the childhood memories lol
my family quotes this game all the time... "your ball has become one with the lava"
My family does that too! I used to play this all the time when I was about 4 or 5 and I would hit it into the lava in purpose, just to hear them say that! xD
Amy Clarke me too lol. I also loved "Your ball piranha food." from jungle ruins.
My dad said that all the time!
ooo ouch ooo ooo hot hot hurt me, uh oh, penalty strooooooke
"The Lava gods charge you penalty stroke"

I played this game with my grandparents 20 years ago. Good times.
my dad and I would sit at the computer, put in the cd rom, and play this for hours. this is so nostalgic for me and him. he always chose red. we loved when it would say “GET ON WITH IT RED” when you were taking too long! I want to own it physically just for the memories with him 🥹
I loved this game as a kid
I still play this today, still have the original Sierra version, and box, feel so lucky :)
wow, thank you for uploading this. memories!
Dita Carlita, good name.
Hol-eee shit. I haven't thought about this game in years. Man did I have fun with it back in the day.
Wow, great score. I remember playing this game at Innoventions at Disneyland in the summer of 98.
Hey! Would you be willing to tell me how you got this game to play with the sound effects intact? Mine game crashes unless I turn off the sound effects and those are some of the best parts IMO! TIA!
Best mini golf game!
*MY CHILDHOOD!!!!* My god I feel old!
The voices are the best part. Especially the abominable snowman hole.
Thanks for uploading this, I used to play it as a kid!
This was a great game. Loads of fun. Wish I could play it today!
This is still the best mini-golf game I've played.
Wish there was a way to play this again 😢
This is an awesome classic good old game. Is it still available for download or online play anywhere? Love the video.
WOW! This brings back some memories!
Great memories! Thanks for uploading this!
He somehow missed the parrot next to the water in the Jungle Ruins. Flies up to the hole every time. Also, in the Bugs hole, the ball will go in the hole if aimed at the anthill.
It’s almost impossible to get the ball to actually go into the anthill, though.
@@terion2665 Not impossible with the right speed.
I still have the CD but I can't install it anymore. I loved this game, I had played it for years, I knew it by heart. I was able to do some courses in 1.
I haven’t played this since daycare
Lol put ball into temple of akiboombah. Great memories.
I have always been loving the strong dutch accent of the Windmill girl speaker, wow ❤️
the other thing i always found strange about this game was the game CD had a final audio track for the incredible machine hole, but the game would only play the MIDI file for that hole.
I found that strange watching this. I noticed TIM had a MIDI track as opposed to the others. Pretty sure my copy played CD audio for all. Maybe it was a bug which was fixed for the european release. I still have my copy. Might have to get it running on a Win98 PC or VM some day to check that out🧐
i miss this awesome game :(
Amazing game hard as nails
That fucking intro, I had no idea where I've heard it before until now.
Ever played 3D Ultra Minigolf Deluxe, which is the same as this one with 9 extra holes?
No one of these new smart phone games you download on the play store can be fun as this one :)
ancient memories for me, the haunted house level scared me lol
This and After Dark Games are so nostalgic.
Holy shit your skills at this game are unbelievable
Ugg the cavedude was the best part of the Dinosaur hole.
I played this so much when I was 5. 🤣🤣
Fun fact: This game actually had a sort of sequel. And no, it's not the Adventure series that came out 10 years later. I'm talking about Minigolf Maniacs, which was a lesser known digital download that used to be available on Sierra's website.

Came here for "RRRROCKETSHIP HOLE PAR 2" and was not disappointed
I don't remember the holes themselves having music. Maybe I shut it off immediately because it's so overpowering? But I had the menu music..
I spent days playing just the DEMO of this game.
Finally get to see the full game holes ...meh they weren't that great. No more deprived childhood
Same, I don't even remember where I got the demo as a kid, but it included holes 1 (windmill), 9 (lost mine), and 18 (incredible machine). Now I finally get to see the full game!
Bro i used to play this on my computer all the fucking time brings back really really good memories
As soon who played "The Incredible Machine", that's the exact same music!!!!
My childhood
lol omg remember playing this in class to pass the time
Is it only the Rocket, Sawmill, and The Incredible Machine, to have secrets if you hit under par?
I can quote this entire game lol
Thanks for this
Omg yes thankyou.
I spent so long playing this game
rudy is a legend
This game is the absolute bomb
10/10 golf
I used to play the hell out of this back when I was a kid. If you have any recollection of this game at all you are old as dirt lol
The music make me think of Toy Story particularly the Toy Story 2 game.
I miss playing this.
Is there any way to get this game today? It's the only one, besides Dead or Alive 4 that I enjoyed playing. You did phenomenal play on this by the way,,woohoo!
this game's music can only be rivaled by Banjo Kazooie's music lol. classic. my childhood in a nutshell. this and putt putt, freddie fish, and spy fox!
Jim W same. Of course, I was only 2 or so when I played those
That score card music is smoooooth
Lord, the nostalgia. Is there any way that this game is compatible with modern OS’?
well played !
So I found out that one of the voice actors in this game was the same person who voiced rouge the bat in the sonic adventure games and Nancy Drew
Would this be able to be played on modern computers?
am i just remembering incorrectly or wasn't there a swamp monster level in this game? i cant remember what game from my childhood had that level. it used to terrify me.
feeling nostalgic
I remember the dialogue being slower.
Is it still possible to play the online version? I loved that.
Please tell me how you downloaded this and from where!!!!! I have not played this in YEARS!
I need to know too, I cant find it :(
iso zone or iso hunt
"...Cost you a penalty stroke for THAT nonsense..."
i only had the demo, i remember the light house and a drive in movie theatre, always used to shoot the ball at the cars to get different reactions. I know the pelican at the light house will drop the ball down one level for you, not sure if it will be a hole in 1 though.
this was my childhood
5:19 Goddamn, that fucking eyeball scared me shitless when I was a Kid, after that i always put the ball through the mausoleum
The volcano golf course the Wii grouble vocano race track that is probebly just the future of this golf course since it got damage by lava.
