Clean the Golf Yard drops you into a locked driving range where the exit stays sealed until the entire course is spotless. The catch is scale. There are 35,000 golf balls to pick up, and you start with a bag that holds only 10. Everything past that first handful comes down to buying the right upgrades in the right order so each pass over the grass sweeps up more balls with less effort.
Quick answer: Collect and sell balls for cash, then buy upgrades in this order to clear all 35,000 as fast as possible: BiggerHand, LazyHands, InstantSell, PullBalls, BallCollector, GolfClub, BallMagnet, Caddy, and finally the GolfKart. When the last ball is gone, the exit gate unlocks and your finish time is recorded.
The core loop: collect, deposit, upgrade
The whole game runs on one repeatable cycle. Pick up balls off the range, drop them into the Deposit Basket to convert them into cash, then spend that cash on upgrades that raise your bag size, reach, and collection speed. On PC, you pick up with E or left click and trigger abilities with the 1 and 2 keys. On controller, you collect with RT and use the D-pad for abilities.
Each deposited ball pays out cash, and upgrading the golf ball value raises that payout. Ball value climbs through 14 levels, so pushing it higher early gives every later collection run more spending power. You can play solo or bring friends in to split the course.
Upgrade order that clears the course
Buy from cheapest to most expensive and each tool naturally stacks on the last. Early upgrades fix the tedium of clicking one ball at a time; later ones let you sweep dozens at once or drive over them. Prices below are in the in-game cash you earn from deposits.
| Upgrade | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| BiggerHand | $25 | Picks up multiple balls in one grab. |
| LazyHands | $60 | Hold the button to collect instead of clicking. |
| InstantSell | $220 | Sends collected balls straight to the nearest net. |
| PullBalls | $90 | Pulls nearby balls into your bag. |
| BallCollector | $400 | Push roller that grabs any ball you walk over. |
| GolfClub | $1,500 | Swings balls into the nets from a distance. |
| BallMagnet | $4,500 | Pulls balls in from a wider range. |
| Caddy | $3,500 | Increases bag capacity by 1.5x. |
| GolfKart | $15,000 | Drivable vehicle that auto-collects on contact. |
The GolfClub is the turning point. Once you upgrade its BatRadius and BatSwingSpeed to max, a single swing can knock around 40 balls into the nets at once. The GolfKart then handles the final cleanup, rolling over stray balls that are slow to reach on foot. Pair the kart with the club for the last stretch to close out the count quickly.
Special balls and titles
Every so often a special ball spawns somewhere on the range. Grabbing one gives a bonus rather than counting as a normal pickup, and some award a permanent title.
- Magnet Ball grants the Magnetized title when collected.
- Rainbow Ball pays out a cash bonus, worth $176 in a single grab.
- Shard Ball appears farther out on the range, near the 300-yard line.
Titles you can pick up across a run include Magnetized, Rainbow Runner, Yard Cleaner, Reborn, and Lone Wolf. Keep an eye out for these spawns while you sweep, since the Rainbow Ball in particular is a fast cash boost early on.
How you know the run is complete
The finish is unambiguous. Once the last of the 35,000 balls is deposited, the locked exit gate opens and the game stamps your run with a completion time. A fully upgraded run can wrap in under an hour; a clean sweep landed at 58 minutes and 27 seconds, which also paid out 40 Fragments.
Back in the lobby, you can spend earned currency on eggs. A Standard Egg costs 30 Gems and can hatch pets such as the Cow, which adds +5 bag capacity, so hatching before your next run gives you more headroom on the course.
Milestone badges and current code
Collection badges track your progress and unlock automatically as you hit ball counts. The first three come at 10, 1,000, and 10,000 balls collected, so they serve as easy checkpoints on the way to a full clear.
The active code is 15KLIKES, redeemable in the game’s code entry box. The developer ties new codes to like milestones, with the next one set to unlock at 20,000 likes. Codes change often, so redeem the current one in-game and treat the message you see there as the final confirmation.
A new map and a new beach-sorting mode are on the schedule for August 3rd at 4:00 PM, adding a fresh course to clear once the current one is behind you.
