The game surface is played on a green felt mat (16" wide by 32 1/4" long, about 1/8" thick).

A yellow rectangle boundary forms an outer border on the green felt mat (between 1/2" and 1" from each edge). Nine medium brown wooden golf hole cups (1 1/4" base diameter, 1" top diameter, 3/8" tall on the side, 3/16" deep circle inside) appear on the mat, each with a yellow hole number (from 1 to 9) to the right of the wooden cup. Three bunker areas (yellow "Bunker" lettering inside an orange rectangle) are marked on the mat. One water hazard (yellow "Water." lettering inside a jagged orange border) also appears. At lower right is a small vertical orange rectangle boundary with no other markings associated with it.

One small felt mat (1 7/8" square, about 1/8" thick) is included in the game.

Three brown, thin, hollow wood-grain cardboard barriers (1 7/8" wide by 4 1/8" rectangle at bottom, two 2 1/8" wide by 4 1/8" and 3 1/8" long trapezoidal sides, and 1 7/8" equilateral triangle sides) come with the game.

Five brown natural wooden stick shooters (3 1/2" long, 1/2" wide diameter, rounded at one end, with a straight edge at the other, narrowing between the straight edge and the round shaft near it) are used to shoot the winks.
