### 2/5 — Broke Putt screen

*2026-07-31*

When you’re on the putting portion the entire screen is blocked. Impossible to enjoy.

### 5/5 — Great game but need some help.

*2026-05-08*

When its time for me to putt, the “putter” pink box takes up the whole screen and I can’t see anything

### 5/5 — So fun

*2025-09-17*

This is one of the best golf games on here and the nostalgia of the golf games I used to play back then. The course editor is the main reason i got this game.
