Not much information was released alongside this announcement other than the fact that it will make use of the Wii Fit Balance Board accessory. Players can adjust their golfer's stance by shifting their weight on the Balance Board.
We'll have more information on Okiraku Putter Golf as it becomes available, but until then you can take a look at the only two screenshots of the game in action below.

Wow, this actually looks fun. And it's not a puzzle game!!!!!!
hope this is funner than their table tennis game
This looks pretty cool. Realistic physics this time
Very nice... Looks like a truly ambitious mini-golf game... Not too many of those around so I'm all for this one.
Maybe since it's cheap and has Balance Board support, it'll be slightly less crappy than Family Table Tennis. Though it'll still likely be crushed under the might of Fun! Fun! Minigolf.
This is a different game than Fun-Fun Minigolf or whatever its called, right? I hope its good because I have exactly 500 points.
It'll take a lot to make me buy a golf game on WiiWare...and this game doesn't look "a lot."
Same developer is also making other games too featuring the same characters, including Parcheesi and Air Hockey! Certainly something to keep an eye on.
The courses certainly look more interesting than standard minigolf courses. I still think it'd have more appeal to most people with Miis (then you can't blame anyone but yourself if you don't like the look of the character ) and the Wii does seem to have a larger than usual number of golf games but who knows how it'll turn out? We can definitely use more 500 point Wiiware.
I can't wait for FFM!, but due to the apparant crappiness of FTT, I think I'll give this a miss, though BB support makes it fairly good value at 500 points. The price probably means that this one will still sell more than FFM!, however good/bad it may be.
TTFN!
I'd care but since Arc System works don't seem to be aware of PAL, I can't. Though that said the last thing I need now is more crap (FTT) to clog the pipeline that is NOEs WiiWare rleease schedule...
Given the fact this one has environments I'd guess it takes up more blocks
I may be one of the few who enjoyed Family Table Tennis. So I'll give this one a looksie
looks cool but i need to wait for reveiws
I bet it'll get a five.
No thanks, I'm happy with the Wii Sports golf, also, If the balance board support is the only improvement of this game, it's just meh, as I'm not planning on getting one just yet.
It's minigolf, not regular golf so it's not trying to be the same as Wii Sports golf.
Either way, BB support does seem a bit unneeded.
And still we haven't got a Mario Golf on a retail disc (Camelot is the best!). However, this doesn't look bad at all from the screenshots.
@Wiiloveit = At least they're TRYING.
"However, this doesn't look bad at all from the screenshots."
Family Table Tennis was a nice looking game. I have it, so I'll vouche for the nice visuals
