game features nine holes. The first few holes are located on Jersey Pines golf course which are based on locations within the show like the tar pits, the Moon, Hell, and a fantasy level that Meatwad creates with Osirus's t-shirt. There are also three levels where the Aqua Teens race against the Frat Aliens giving the game a total of 12 levels.
Once teeing off on a hole, the Aqua Teens, with Master Shake
and Frylock as playable characters, fight their way to where their ball landed. They face many foes like Carl's giant crabs, the brownie monsters, Turkitron, the Mooninites, and others. When the Aqua Teens reach the green they must defeat that hole's boss before they can putt.
For the racing levels the trio are in their golf cart and they race through the course they just played on collecting speed boosts and using a bazooka to shoot the Frat Aliens and get to each check point in order for three laps to defeat the frats and move on to the next level.
There are two secrets on each level for both the golf and racing sections. There are cameos that the Aqua Teens can collect a piece of the Broodwich. Once they collect each piece of Broodwich the Aqua Teens unlock a special Broodwich battle video.
