The Gator Golf game is an indoor putting game designed for 2-4 players aged 3 and up. The primary goal of the game is to be the first player to score three points by successfully putting a golf ball through the Gator's mouth and into its tail.
The core of the game revolves around a friendly, green alligator figure that serves as the putting target and scorekeeper. Players use a flamingo-themed golf club to hit colored golf balls towards the Gator. When a player successfully sinks a putt, the Gator's mouth automatically closes, and it flips the ball out with its tail, indicating a successful shot. Each successful putt is worth one point. The Gator figure also features built-in bird scorekeepers on its back. These birds can be rotated to mark a player's score, matching the color of their chosen golf ball to the next highest number.
The game is best played indoors on a low-pile carpet, avoiding rough surfaces and shag carpeting for optimal ball movement. Players should place the Gator in an open area. Each player selects one colored Gator Golf ball to use throughout the game. Before starting, the Gator's mouth needs to be opened. This is done by holding down its lower jaw and pulling up on its top jaw until it locks into an open position.
A player is chosen to go first, and turns proceed with each player taking one putt. The objective for each turn is to hit the ball through the Gator's mouth and into its tail. The first player places their ball directly in front of the Gator, approximately one club-distance away. Subsequent putts are taken from wherever the ball stopped on the previous turn.
If a player sinks their putt, the Gator's mouth will close, and it will flip the ball out with its tail. This signifies a successful putt, earning the player one point. After a successful putt, the player marks their score by rotating the bird on the Gator's back that matches their ball color to the next highest number. The ball is left wherever it stopped after being flipped out by the Gator. On the next turn, the player must putt from this new location. After a successful putt, the Gator's mouth needs to be opened again to prepare for the next player's putt.
If a player does not sink their putt, their turn is over. The ball is left wherever it stopped, and the player must putt from that location on their next turn.
Players can use a turn to set up a clear shot for their next turn if they don't have a direct path to the Gator's mouth. This involves hitting the ball to a more advantageous position rather than attempting a difficult putt.
The first player to reach three points wins the game.
The flamingo golf club comes in two pieces that need to be snapped together. Once assembled, the club should not be taken apart.
