It was released in Japan on March 10, 2009, in North America on June 22, 2009 and in the PAL region on April 2, 2010.

[1] Similar to Family Table Tennis and Family Glide Hockey, players control a member of a family, including a mother, father, son (Billy), and daughter (Sarah), to play against another in a round of mini golf.

The game features three, 9-hole courses, with an additional three available as paid downloadable content.

IGN called the game a "frustratingly un-fun effort", and were left confused by the controls which were at odds to the instructions in the game's operations manual.

[2] However, Nintendo Life found no apparent issue, praising their simplicity as well as the design of the courses, and thought the game excelled in multiplayer.
