Sphero Mini Golf Features and Benefits

  • A “HOLE” LOT OF FUN: Use your Sphero Mini as a controller for arcade-style games in the Sphero Play app—perfect for playing on the go or with limited space. Or, use your device to control Mini using Master Joystick, Slingshot, or Tilt Mode. 
  • PROGRAMMING FOR BEGINNERS: Sphero Mini Golf is not only fun to play but also serves as a unique way to learn programming in the free Sphero Edu app using our Draw, Blocks, and Text canvases.
  • CHANGE IT UP: Mini’s interchangeable shell allows you to change Mini to a soccer ball or a color that fits your mood! (Mini Shell Accessory Pack sold separately).
  • GREAT FOR ALL AGES: Sphero Mini Golf is suitable for all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just looking for some fun, Mini Golf is the perfect robot companion.
  • PLAY A FRIENDLY PRANK: Fool your friends on the green into thinking their golf ball took on a mind of its own with Sphero Mini Golf's realistic movements and use the Sphero Play app to make Mini Golf move in unexpected ways. Just be sure to reveal the truth before they take a swing!

Just a friendly reminder: While Mini Golf may look like a traditional golf ball, we don't recommend taking a swing at it with your clubs. Mini Golf is meant to be your playful companion on the green, not your next golf ball replacement!
