Physics are too inconsistent
Whenever the ball hits the ground sometimes it loses all of its momentum and totally ruins the shot for no reason. Also please fix the ball bouncing in and out of the whole without counting the hole being finished.
Good game with bad ads
I've been playing this for about a week now, trying to add something into my daily rotation in between work emails and various morning tasks. It's a lot of fun, there's neat mechanics, and it's really simple and intuitive with only three clubs and a few obstacles. Could easily be a game I use every day if it wasn't for the ads.
Don't get me wrong, I understand there's a paid feature for removing them and if I really wanted to I would. My problem with the ads is two-fold.
First, the ads almost always start as soon as I get the ball into the last hole(at least in tour mode). So I don't even get the satisfaction of the final little flourish of confetti and a summary of the shots, etc. Just a full screen ad that also is almost always a playable preview of a game.
The second part relates to the ad itself. It is, as far as I know, completely unskippable. You can play through the entire demo of the ad and it will open your App Store. Closing the App Store doesn't close the ad. There's no way to exit the ad after a set amount of time. It's just stuck on your screen until you manually close the app. This makes it more frustrating when it's after every single hole 90% of the time. I don't mind sitting through ads, I do mind having my app straight up taken hostage by an ad that won't go away until I close my game.
This is extremely unacceptable and makes me feel even less inclined to pay to remove ads, as it feels as though the developers intentionally incorporated these types of ads to push people to pay for ad removal. I would be more willing to pay if they were more of a nuisance than a straight up disruption of my ability to continue playing the game. If this is intentional, it's borderline predatory. If it's unintentional, it's extremely neglectful.
Also I'm a bit curious why there's a way to pay for ad removal *and* a way to pay for "unlimited classic pay". If these are both separate from each other, it's very odd. Devs need money, can't fault them that. But paywalling ad removal *and* a game mode seems greedy. At least add a bundle at a discount.

Passed 4,000
I recently completed 4,000 of the tour part of this app. After you pass 4,000 this app is not very good in my opinion. You cannot see what the next group of courses will be. You only get one at a time.
Update: The app developer added another 1000 daily classic golf courses a while back which I finished recently. After that you get the same type one course at a time. I thought they added another 1000 daily class courses a few weeks ago but they only added 200. After finishing these 200 courses (which ere fun) the next courses for the most part are impossible to complete in allotted shots. I don’t want to burn through the 38,000 points I’ve acquired so I’ll just wait and see if they add more daily classic courses!

It’s alright
The game itself is exactly what it needs to be. Simple arcade golfing. My only complaint is the option for one free re-do of the daily course. But it’s not really free because you are stuck for at a minimum watching a 5 minute ad on a game YOU MUST interact with. To me time is money. Basically I just close the app out after one mistake or map problem.

The ads in this game are the worst I’ve ever seen
Insane amount of unskippable ads. Half the time you have to wait 1-2 minutes for the fake game ad to end so you can hit the “x”. The rest of the time the ad is a game that you have to play. There is ad ad after every. single. hole. So about 15 seconds of play time followed a two minute ad every time. I couldn’t think of a worse game to download.
