Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
They took a really good golf game and turned it into a disaster! No more chipping, no more good matches, no more map 2. You guys blew it big time. Bring back an option for the old game we loved so much. DenMac6.
Game was fun for a very long time. We had a good group around the world competing everyday for daily event. Because there was no chat, wed communicate by changing our usernames. We did eventually get tired and stop playing due to repetitive levels everyday. We logged in today and a week ago and noticed the daily game isnt occurring anymore . We will definitely come back if there is an update and maybe a chat feature. -Skipper Jenkins.
Relaxing, no pressure, fun game for kids and adults.
The camera control kind of makes the game less enjoyable. Sluggish, and laggy.
When playing multiplayer, sometimes when you win a hole it still gives the point to your opponent. Also, you rack up coins with wins. Occasionally, you just dont get the coins or your coins randomly disappear. Not sure if this is one of their tactics to try to get you to purchase coins in-app.
We downloaded this game a week ago and we have deleted it because of 1 thing, the chipping feature. We have tried to beat levels with it and it works 20% of the time, it just sends it to a normal putt into the wall so dont bother, this game is trash and a waste of space.
Whats is wrong with this game? Every time we play 4 man golf royale, the game never ends. Even after everyone is finished and/or the timer counts down to zero. The game stalls and stops working. Please fix this app, its a great game and would like to see it working.
We invested a lot of time in this game and completed each and every hole with three stars. We were expecting at least some type of reward, like a Congratulations!, or some celebratory music, but we got nothing. Also, if there is a fee to stop the endless pop-up adds, we couldnt find it. All said and done, this is still a 5 star game because its so challenging and very well designed.
Since the last update, in single player mode when you finish the level and click next level, it takes you to the beginning of the wholes. So aggravating when your on level 168 and have to scroll all the way to the top to get to the next level every time. Loved this game but am now thinking of deleting. Hopefully this can be solved. Edit: problem was fixed by app maker. Back to our number one game.
Love this game, but very disappointed that they did not add more levels to the single player game with the big update they just did.
Our avatar profile picture keeps changing ,its annoying changing back all the time. Theres no contact for help on the app.
This app is a lot of fun and very addictive, but crashes, freezes up and kicks you off, 20-30% of the time… Every time.
This game quits after taking your entry points every 5 or 6 times we play. Its a daily thing. Do not spend money until they fix it.
We have been trying to play this game for two days and it wont load past the first splash screen. Its worked earlier this week but now it wont load anything.
Horrible physics and absolutely loaded full of ads.
Have been playing the game for a couple of weeks with no issues. Was level 14, 80 million in gold, and owned all balls and pointers. Accessed the game today after the most recent update and we are back at level 1, our avatar picture, and name have changed. Attempted to change them back, but it kept ignoring our request. Have no idea what happened. Attempted to delete and reinstall the game, but still have the same issues with the avatar and name. Game now has been deleted since it no longer works and we lost everything we worked for when we reinstalled. Very disappointing.
We like this game we just dont like the latest update we now have to scroll up to a lot to find the level Im on. Before It was right there when you went to he single player menu.
Wasnt too bad until the recent update. Looks bad now and the app is super glitchy. Deleted it.
Why do we keep losing all the coins we win?????? We get to a certain amount then… Goes to zero coins. Why???? Please fix.
This game has us and our daughter playing and hoping to match up against each other. Many hours played so far! Just wish there were more then 405 single player holes. Great game overall 5/5.
There Is A Innaporpete Ad That Show Buns.
Really good game so fun and good for kids.
Are there ever going to be new levels? Been waiting for a long time.
We putt and chip at full strength at hole 242 and yet am 3 inches away from it. How the hell is that a Hole in One when you cant do it in one shot whether it be chipped or putted.
When you go head to head, we dont like as soon as the game starts the computer player goes. You dont have an opportunity to see what the course is. Our issue but makes us mad. Still love the game though.
Lots of glitches embedded in the game. Closest to the pin… Well it doesnt matter if you are even on the same playing level as the pin as long as you are close! You can be on the putting green below an elevated pin and beat someone who is on the hole! Many other glitches as well including using boosters that dont have an effect on the ball or our favorite, effect the ball in a way that make the next putt not possible. A few times our ball was stopped in midair and then all subsequent putts were not possible because they shot us out of bounds automatically.
We play silly games to get away from life just like we used to watch sports to get away from politics etc…. We play a hole on this game and theres a political ad in the middle of the hole…. Ugh.
So here we are about done with the single player mode and you switch up just about everything. Sure, a few more free coins each day but why dont we have our unlimited boosters and why do all the levels blend together? Thats so dumb. Change it back lol.
Got to and passed hole 87 game wont go on to hole 88 no matter how we try. Even replaying 87 wont let us go on to 88. Too buggy for us… Hitting delete in 3, 2, 1.
We paid to stop the ads but we are still getting them.
We keep having problems with it reloading and theres over 200 holes but we can only seem to get to hole 80. Ive re-downloaded it 3X and nothing changes. Very disappointed because we really likes the game.
- Fix this bug: The 1,000,000 (highest) prize head to head tournament takes you to the 4 player mode instead of head to head! Please fix. 2. Get rid of CPU head to head players. Want to play real people every time. 3. Everything else about the update is fantastic.
V7.3. Animated ads run continually along bottom on iPad. Very distracting. No option to purchase to get rid of ads. Occasional ads would be ok, but this version is not enjoyable.
We're pretty sure you owe us over 100k in points since it crashes after starting a 25k round. Im winning 3000 point Games but Im not getting our winnings. Im fed up.
You win and do not get paid the coins from tournaments. Also trophies not being rewarded and if you buy coins it shorts you.
This was updated a week ago and you only get ONE chance to make the shot. 3 lives. But only one chance. If you miss, you go back to the beginning of that level and lose a life. If you miss again, repeats. Seems like a waste of time to spend an hour trying to make one hole with only 1 shot.
They took away skillz so now yo cant do practice you can only play alone we really do not wanting you getting this game.
We had over two billion coins and suddenly we have zero. Is there an explanation? Have we been hacked? DJL.
Great game. Love the animation and great way to exercise your brain.
When we cant go golfing out in the driving range,or go putt, we can just go on and golf.
Get rid of these fake players that drag each round out way too long. No one is going to make the same shot over and over until the clock finally runs out.
Great game many different levels and challenges. The only downside is the one ad that does not let you exit. It is a slot machine ad and there is no way to exit after it has ran its 30 second ad. Neither x or close icon works.
Hello, we like the game and how immersive it is. We just wanted to suggest a friend system where someone can share a friend code with his/her friend so they can play together. We got the game to play with our sister, and our family is considering downloading it so we all can play together. Thank you for reading.
It kept on bringing us back to the home page. Do not play.
Bad mechanics Bad $ structure Terrible game play Horrid game.
This game had glitches from very first hole. We have good internet but it freezes after every hole. We finally gave up ! Wont play until its fixed. We dont have 5 min to wait between every hole.
Ciil was our time of year and our dad got to go home on a th gun we love you first one is the first one to your phone but yuh youre not in your car you can come and pick it out we can do it and get a couple of things ha h b hi gun and the game is so fun and we have no idea what it was but we cannot it really wasnt about you guys a.
This game is fun. It would be cool to add a way to view the course from above.
This is a great way to pass the time.
