Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
To many long adds, dont download this app.
Ive been playing this game for 10 years almost we love it, just wish we could win money on playing it.
Don't forget about those awesome and funny cartoons starring McDivot the Gopher and his friends, guaranteed to bring smiles to our faces.
Downloaded the game, but it wont load on our app just keeps circling. Very frustrating, because we like playing the game.
We have been playing this game for years and love it. Lately though the ads freeze and we have to turn off our phone to get it to go away. This has been happening for THREE days. Please FIX THIS. It has happened before but has gotten fixed and not let it continue for days.
Our club points have been screwed up for 2 weeks. We've reported it multiple times – each time receiving an automatic "we'll get back in 24 to 72 hours" email with a number of questions concerning the problem. Each time we've answered it, but there is no further contact from Big Fish until we send in another trouble ticket and get the same response. Do they even HAVE a support staff? EDIT: It's now been over 3 months…absolutely NOTHING has been done. We have yet to be contacted by a human, just the same ridiculous computer-generated questionnaire each time. No app support whatsoever.
We like the game but they make you watch an ad after EVERY game now and thats not good if youre racing to beat a challenge. This just started happening recently. Too bad.
We, too, have been playing this game for years and the recent changes to insert ads everywhere is getting annoying. Im glad we have a bucket-load of golf bucks so we will never have to spend real money on this annoyance.
The game is fine, but one of the things that made it stand out and special was always the attention to detail, the themes, switching up for seasons and holidays. This year, there was absolutely no Christmas theme. No snow falling on the courses, no lights glowing and blinking. That special part of this app has really fallen off.
We were enjoying this game until an update. Now there are ads after every course. Deleted.
Used to be our favorite game but no more. We have no issue with ads but they now pop up after virtually every screen change. Please, no sob stories about money. Clearly you are making enough.
We love this game and have been playing it for a long time. The extra games for prizes, like pearl pursuit, treasure chests, etc. Are not what they used to be. The prizes were well worth playing them. You won golf bucks and clubs. Now you get challenge cups, extra cards, and previews. These are useless in our opinion. Its just not worth playing them anymore. We just loose our golf bucks and golden clubs. We feel like its a ploy to make you spend real money to get fake money. You can bet we will stop playing this game and stop spending our real money to buy fake money.
Paid for the game believing that we were buying a lifetime access without ads. Learned today that we only purchased a single year and must renew the purchase each year. This is absurd. Im being forced to make a purchase in order to remove ads. After Ive already made a purchase to remove ads.
Its a good game, but sometimes we can flip over 10 cards and not get one card to match whats on the board. Very frustrating.
Theres something drastically wrong with Fairway Solitaire in the newest version. The advertisements are locking up and freezing the game almost every time, requiring a restart of the game. Im on an iPhone 15 Pro Max so this shouldnt be happening. It only started Nov 24 2025 so maybe an issue with the ad server.
We have no issues with ads to play games for free and to get additional items for gameplay. But now most are 60 seconds or longer and force you to constantly hit next because they are in 15 second increments. Ill just find a different one.
We have been playing this game for years and it has always been a nice daily go to for a quick game fix with coffee, or to pass the time on a flight. Recently though the game has become much more ad heavy (no option to pay to remove ads) AND the gameplay has become much more tight on rewards. It is an open ended game (no story to complete), so why be so strict on letting people get better scores more consistently? We have been rage quitting the game almost everyday lately over restrictive card distribution on the third or fourth hole of Club rounds. The whole while Im having ads shoved down our throat. Ugh. Lighten up, devs. Why not let your users have some fun.
Too many ads. Win a game? Get an ad. Lose a game? Get an ad. And frequently the same ad. The game can be fun but the fun is constantly interrupted by ads.
We dont understand why people are leaving negative reviews about this awesome game. We are NEVER forced to watch Ads, unless you want to, in order to get another try if you get a bad score. So you get a free re- try at your choice of a very short Ad. You never know when the little gopher is going to pop up who ruins your ability to get rid of all the cards on the board. Its challenging, and really fun to play. We like it so much that we play it as the very 1st game in the morning, and the very last game, to end our day of game playing. They give you free clubs at times, due to how far youve succeed and you dont have to pay a cent to play. The developers have come up with a very unique game and should be commended for their hard work. Thank you developers for NOT putting in annoying Ads so that we can concentrate on what we are doing and move on, rather than being forced to watch an Ad pop up every two turns. You are THE BEST.
We had 1.2 million golf bucks and we got on an only had 72000 This is very irritating. We worked hard to get that much money. Im so frustrated.
The sound effects are unpredictable. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. Sometimes just music, sometimes just the swoosh sound of the clubs swinging. Sometimes complete silence. We have each of the sound effects set at the same level – a little more than halfway up. Usually we shut down the game and open it back up, and then the sound effects work for a while. It kind of seems like the sound effects screw up almost directly after an ad. We love this game, but this really diminishes our enjoyment. So frustrating! UPDATE: The button that adds a set of cards for 2000 golf bucks is ridiculously placed at the same spot that you hit to scroll through your cards. We have gotten totally involved multiple times in games where our cards are done but out of habit we hit that spot for more cards, and what happens is it steals 2000 golf bucks from us for a set of cards that has 1 usable card in it. This happens a lot and depletes our store of bucks so much so that we cant completely finish the game. Please consider moving this button.
Been playing this for a good minute and all of a sudden yesterday now there are ads after every game! It may be time to move on to another solitaire game.
We used to love playing this game, but now we cant even pass a level without buying coins, clubs, erasers, etc. We know its supposed to be difficult but at least make it reasonable to pass the levels without actually buying anything.
Good game for everyone to enjoy.
One of our fav games. In our older version, which is on our other iPad which quit charging, you got a lot more golf clubs for $4.99. Now you get 5 clubs for 4.99. A little much. We wont pay that.
We have been playing this game for literally years, its one of our favorites but we will not lie, its suspiciously tiring. At the beginning you think that you lose a round just because youre not choosing the right cards but now we are beginning to see the truth. There are many courses that you wont be able to win without the use of their coins or clubs. To this, if you run out, you would have to buy them. We started to notice a pattern on if we were low on the coins or clubs, we would not be able to get passed levels unless we physically bought some more. Its just suspicious and starting not to sit right with us no longer.
We used to love this game,but there are now so many ads it seems we can hardly play an6more. Not fun.
Your ads have become ANNOYINGLy long!! Some levels are almost impossible to beat because the overturned cards are all the same number. Disappointing and ive played your game for a LONG time.
Ive been playing this game for years and years. The ads in the game make it no longer worth our time. We dont have much time to play these days and ads after every single course dont help. Deleting this. Ill come back if the ads ever leave.
Try to open keeps shutting down what.
Not having it! Ill find other games to play.
This app crashed after todays update. We used to play this game to complete daily challenges every day.
We have been playing this game for several years and used to enjoy it. But you really can't beat a level without spending money. There was a time when the daily challenges would actually give you enough coins to get through a few games, but those hardly ever pay off. We just wish the developers were not constantly pushing you to pay to play. We do buy coins to play but they go fast, and some levels you can't use your coins more than twice without being pushed to pay even more. You really have taken all the joy out of this app.
We have been playing this game for yearsenjoying it immensely. Now being inundated with ads after holesthey really mess up a timed challenge. Holes have become incrementally more difficultobviously headed to having to pay for assets to even get the Daily Holes completed. Over. It.
Used to be a good relaxing and fun game. Now the courses are getting harder and if you dont get at least one star on a course then you c ant advance to the next course. We are now stuck on a 9 hole course for days. Some of the rounds you have 30 plus cards to clear with 12 cards to play. This is ridiculous. Another game that is designed for you to spend money. We understand a certain degree of difficulty to keep things interesting but to not be able to advance at all is silly for a solitaire game.
Unless you spend money you cannot win.
Fantastic games fantastic company very very nice. Very very helpful. Thank you so much everyone we dont know if the people that help us along time ago are still with you.
We really like this game, except we think our stamp tab disappeared? We can't click to see what stamps we have anymore and we're pretty sure we can't collect them anymore either. Please fix this glitch.
Dont like these unfair challenges..FOR EXAMPLE..MAKE NO MISTAKES..IMPOSSIBLE WHEN YOU THERE ARE MYSTERY CARD WITH A QUESTION MARK.
Stamp freeze to reset (annoying)we believed made in America was desirable but these bugs are not. 08/15/2024 today the fairway golf puzzle game keeps auto- shut off going even after log in and maybe one card play OFF IT GOES ?? Are you or us experiencing technical difficulties.
We have been playing this game forever. It is currently crashing every time we open it and we cant even contact the developer because it crashes before we can type the info.
Love this game have come back to it many times. Have quit it many times because of the stupid crass cards. We play it for a while avoiding the grass card rounds then get stuck with to many rounds of them and quit again for a few weeks to months. Even deleted a few times going back hoping those cards are replaced by something else or a better way to play them. But no such luck.
Ive had this game for years and really enjoyed it. Sometimes we stop playing for a while and then come back to it. This time we come back to find that there are ads! And we dont mean the watch a video for free prizes, it just pops up while Im playing! If youre going to do that, at least give people the option to buy ad free.
Several years ago you started a weekly side game. It was fun. Ten people in a group. Most of the people dont play anymore. The group Im in have 10 people but only 2 are still playing. We try every week and its tough. We wish you would go into them and remove the non players fro each group and reform those left into groups that are of similar size and then offer it again to new people that our not know of the challenge. Thank you for a great game.
We used to love this game but with our new iPhone 15 Pro Max we have to turn the phone completely off to get out of the app. We will be deleting it since we dont wanna have to do this every time we play the game.
What the heck now after 5 years of playing we got to a certain level now we have to use our chips to get to the next corse or get 800 more stars Can not more stars if you cant play new games other than daily games frustrating.
Ive played and enjoyed this game for at least 10 years and, yes, Ive never felt the need to purchase extra accessories or golf clubs. We are on a fixed income and must watch our spending. We had amassed a great amount of golf bucks. We started noticing that our bag was being refilled automatically and thought that it was a Christmas in July treat so was thankful for the treat. Then we noticed that our 2 million points had been reduced to less than a million due to points being charged to the refilling of the bag. We were never notified of the change in game rules and am so disappointed that the simple joy of playing had disappeared.
You can only go so far very quickly and would have to make some purchases to keep playing. Looking at the reviews, it looks like people are spending a lot of money on this game.
We have about 15 minutes a day during lunch to play. Spend most of that time waiting for the game to update itself even after an App Store update. Great fun once you get to play the game.
While playing he game we get too many advertisements. Ive considered dropping the game. Dont want to b chthed for advertisements.
