Pangya begins all players with a series of mini tutorials that train the player on the basics of gameplay. The controls for Pangya are simple, and typically have both a keyboard and a mouse input option, making it easy for players to choose whatever controls are more comfortable. For those who have played golf games before, the controls are intuitive: change your club, take aim by lining your character up with where you want the ball to go, and use your gauge with three hits to take swing: one to start the meter, one to determine the distance (power), and one for accuracy.
Pangya doesn't stop there, however. In addition to reading the slope, lie, and wind, players may also use special curve, spin, and power shots to get around on the course. Items are also available to temporarily boost a player's abilities such as the strength of their shot, or their accuracy, throwing in a little extra surprise when it comes to live games against other players. Unfortunately, until you get the hang of the courses, both special shots and special items can be tricky to know when - and how - to use them correctly.
