Gator Golf is a board game released in 1993 for 2 players and ages 4 and up. It was designed by Robert Fuhrer.
Tee up for action with this motorized golf ball gobblin' gator! His giant jaws are open wide - can you hit your ball inside? Take turns with a friend trying to putt your ball into the gator's mouth. When you hit it in, he'll flip it out as he spins wildly 'round and 'round! Who knows where your ball - and the gator's mouth - will end up? Each putt you sink is worth a point. Keep track of your score on your unique score-keeping putter. First to score 4 points is the greatest gator golfer! Note: Updated Goliath version does not have a motorized gator unit and does not spin. It does use spring action to return the ball.
Gator Golf supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The catalogue lists Gator Golf for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
