What Makes Disc Golf 3D Stand Out
Welcome to Disc Golf 3D, the finest disc golf game on the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch! Disc Golf is a fast growing sport and can be thought of as golf with a Frisbee, or Frolf. The object is simple, traverse the course in as few throws as possible, finishing each hole by sinking the disc in a metal basket. Avoid natural hazards such as trees, hills, rivers, lakes, and more. Built off of the amazing Nova Golf engine, Disc Golf 3D is sure to keep you entertained and immersed for countless hours. Disc Golf 3D has everything both casual/hardcore gamers and amateur/weekend disc golfer could want.

• Stunning 3D graphics – Disc Golf 3D adapts to each computer/device for the best image quality while always maintaining a smooth frame-rate
• Unique courses – Locations from around the world feature distinct styles of both play and appearance. You’ll know if you’re in the Pennsylvania forest, Arizona desert, or on the Scottish coastline

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is great! It has a few severe glitches, but otherwise the game is amazing! It's better than any other frisbee game on the market. We love how you can throw the disc onto the roof of that building, and the graphics are great. If you can cope with glitches, get the app.
We just like disc golf……its ok.
On the positive side, this game has fairly realistic gameplay with relatively simple controls and challenging courses. On the downside, however, the graphics leave something to be desired and there are some hidden costs to playing in career mode. You have to purchase a "disc pack" and a "course pack." Also, the game has crashed on us several times and required uninstalling and reinstalling. Overall… Fun when it works, but kinda frustrating at times.
No game is perfect. Many have glitches, ads and room for improvement and this game is no different. We love disc golf so downloaded this game several months ago to pass time. For the most part, it's pretty realistic! It's been entertaining and we've looked past the little things…UNTIL we placed 1st in the tournaments!!! Once this happens, YOU CANNOT GO BACK OR CONTINUE PLAY until you pull out your wallet AGAIN! We coughed up ANOTHER $1.99 yesterday (3rd time on this app) to buy another course. We beat the second course in 30 minutes now can't even throw a disc in practice mode without buying more $|-| we+! Call us cheap, but we feel if a person throws $6-10 on an app, they should be able to play it until they die. App designers… This game is one of our favorites and we "sold" the app to friends as a "worthwhile purchase". We hope you reconsider your business plan and make the appropriate adjustments.
Aweful….terrible….glitchy…poorly made…not worth the money.
Well we bought this game was excited seen it in our disc golf magazine.It acts like it's loading then kicks us back to main iPod screen totally disappointed.BEWARE.
Most features, but still least problems with crashing, loading, etc.
Best disc golf game on the App Store.
This game went from extremely slow and frustrating to quick loading and fun! From 2 stars to 5 after recent update.
Been playing this for a few months now, but had to stop playing today. Upgraded our iPhone to ios 9.0.2, and now it won't open. When it was working, we enjoyed the simple controls compares to other disc golf games.
There is is still lots of room to improve.
Just downloaded this for our 4S with iOS 9. Will not load, crashes every time. There goes 2 bucks.
Paid for an app… That apparently requires you to buy more to play it. We would leave no stars but one is required to comment.
All other disc golf games on the IPhone stink to say the least. This one, however, has been super addicting with fairly easy controls. Worth the money.
We just got this game for our iPhone 6+ and it's been glitchy. The disc keeps bouncing all over the place then we have to quit completely and start all over or lose that round.
Fun game! Would be nice if you could move the camera to see the flight path exactly.
This game was slow on our 4s…and now with our 6 plus it only uses half of the screen.
We really like this game but it crashes almost every time we open it on our iPhone 6. The demo worked just fine but the full version just doesn't work. NEEDS UPDATE. If it worked we'd give it a 3 based on the graphics.
Really enjoying driving, but when it comes to putt & approach the disc bounces and takes off in a completely obtuse direction. Makes it really hard to sink under quad bogies.
We have yet to play a full game without this game freezing. The disc bounces around like a bouncy ball, the game screen starts shaking and can't play until restart game. FRUSTRATING.
Freezes after the first hole every time we play. Never had that probably with the lite version. Fix it.
We will keep this 1 star rating until it's fixed.
We hated this gam we want our money back.
Just like real disc golf, FRUSTRATING AS HELL! BUT FUN AS HELL.
With poor graphics and almost poor everything about a game. We still love the game! We mean u can't hate a Discgolf game.
Ok so this is by far the closest to actually playing DG on your that you are going to get. Period. It's a great game! Definitely could use some tweaking here and there but they tried to be authentic. Pretty wide selection of disc (even though we can't find how to change to the cheaper we disc we have purchased from playing the game) and a selection of shots…including a tomahawk!! Putting is "different." But all in all this game is seriously worth it. Get it.
Great game that is easy to control, complex enough to give you a lot of shot variation, and challenging enough that it reminds you of a real game of disc golf in many ways.
Even though there's only a couple of em, this one takes the cake. It's pretty fun if it's a nasty day outside and wanna hit the links.
It could be a little better as far as features are concerned . Like go into first person perspective and a better aiming system. But for the coin it's good .Would like to see more content and features please.
That last version had a really bad basket collision detection problem, and that kept us from buying the app. The last update fixed that horrible problem and in turn we bought the full version. Plays exactly how you would expect, really good, but not great app.
Not worth the money based on the game in general. We thought we'd get to just have extra holes that aren't in the free version. The in-app purchases for disc packs is ridiculous being that you can't select discs to play with without it. You're basically $4 in just to start playing, and like we said, the game in general isn't worth $1.99 to begin with. Hopefully, someone will develop a better disc golf game asap. The game also constantly freezes and crashes. It's an absolutely horrible game all around. Can you please fix the game so we can actually play it and feel like we're not completely wasting the $4 we spent total??? DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! If you ever get to actually play it, you'll find that it's absolutely horrible. We're assuming all of the positive reviews must be employee of the company who produced it. Giving it 1 star was being nice. Writing this part over a month after our initial poor review – HEY, A$$HOLES!!! FIX THE GAME, PLEASE!!!! THE GAME HAS BEEN FROZEN ON THE MAIN MENU FOR OVER A MONTH NOW!!! FIX THE PIECE OF $H!T GAME!!!!! LAZY D-BAGS.
This app is a joke. Money making joke. We paid and then had to pay again just to play. We are truly disappointed.
Game keeps crashing, of course after we purchase it. The demo worked fine but as soon as we buy the game it crashes and won't let us resume our career. What a waste.
Graphics are bad, slow, hard to navigate . Was a serious waste of money, we'd give it a half star if we could.
Decided to change our review. Game is getting worse instead of better. You can now no longer win a tournament. The AI competitors shoot lights out, and you cannot even make it to the basket on par 3's to get a birdie. Same with par 4's. Not even close to the basket. Played this game on and off for almost a year. Our stats are put up pretty high, and we still cant place. Also just about every putt chains out. Reccomend not downloading until game is severely improved. We dont ever right reviews and look at this paragraph. Thats how bad this game is getting. Had to vent.
Really, it is. It's also only one of two in existence. Developers, please fix the bug which causes the "gimme shot" auto function to six putt the two-foot putt. C'mon! That's a failure of basic functionality. Lame.
Good game as far as throws and conditions graphics could be better.
Really need to work on fixing the bug where the disc falls through the basket even on gimme shots! It's costing us tons of strokes a round!!! Very frustrating… Please fix! We really love the game except that part.
Fix the putting when it does it for you always goes through the bucket like 5 to 7 times then get like a quad bogey.
When an automated "gimme shot" keeps missing and adds 10 strokes on a hole, it's time to give out refunds. What a piece of crap game. Not worth the time.
Can't win, no way to aim consistently. Very random on results. Can't place or win. Boring.
We just updated the latest version. Much worse now!! The baskets are missing, so all you do is repeatedly throw the disc from the tee off area. Please fix this!!! We used to love this game. Now we have the baskets… We just bought the course pack 1 but it did not show up in our game. Where is it.
The game is fun. We still enjoy playing it. However, there is a glitch where on a gimme shot or even a chained putt, the disc falls through the bottom of the basket. It can happen once, or you can see your birdie turn in to a 10 over par. If they can fix this problem, the game would be much better.
Fix the glitch and the game will get 5 stars. With the glitch we can only give it 1.
Game is good but there is a glitch in the baskets the disk hits and just falls over and over.
Really cool game. Was a little confusing in the beginning get everything setup, maybe because we're on a iphone really hard to read everything. But know that a have figured it out its great,authentic flight 3 different throwing styles. Putting is hard as it appears to be in real life;(. Only complaint is when you r real close to basket it will putt for you. And sometimes miss. If u r gonna putt for us dont miss.
Best disc golf game in app store.
We've played professional disc golf for years now and wanted an app to mess around with when just chillin at the house. At first we thought this game would just be another crappy attempt at a disc golf game. The menus can be a little finicky and playing on our iphone 5 it looks crowded and hard to read, if you're on an iPad we're sure it's probably not as bad. We were actually shocked at how well this game plays! The graphics are okay, the animations are done really well, and the option to throw backhand, forehand and even a TOMAHAWK are awesome. Putting actually takes time and focus, check your wind meter! We love how you play in tournaments and move up through the ranks, gives the game purpose! And the game can get very challenging! Please keep this game updated and bring more courses and tournaments! Overall this game is the closest thing to simulating playing the real game of disc golf we have found…ya know…besides actually being "outside" playing yourself! There are some bugs that could be worked out like sometimes when you throw on a hill your player will be standing horizontal rather than standing up right, kind of funny looking, doesn't effect gameplay that we've noticed though, just makes it awkward to make the next shot. And on our iphone in the upper right part of the screen information jumbles up between our player name and course and play info, kind of frustrating since we can't read the full info of the next move. Anyways, we recommend this to anyone that loves the sport, any ol joe that downloads the game that doesn't know any better may find this game rather challenging at first but if you know a thing or two about how real disc golf works, stick with it, it's a pretty solid game for what it's worth. Edit: another bug we just discovered, sometimes when putting the disc lands and bounces all over the place and it doesn't stop, we have to reboot the game to play again.
First 1 start review we've ever given. Can't even comment on the game play because it doesn't stay open long enough without crashing. Stayed open long enough for us to select "practice" then wanted us to spend 2 bucks on disc to practice with the crashed again. Biggest App Fail ever lol.
You have to pay to do anything in the game app… Are you guys nuts you don't even have to do that in real disc golf!!! This app is god awful.
