## What is Fairway Rogue?

Bounce your way down the fairway.

Fairway Rogue is a bounce-golf roguelite. Your score isn't strokes, it's distance times bounces, so the ball you ricochet off four walls beats the one that rolls straight at the cup. Sink it and that score becomes gold. Blow the par and it costs you a Save. When the Saves run out, the run is over.

DRAG, PREVIEW, COMMIT
Tap and drag from the ball to aim and set power. Use the preview to aim, but be quick, the shot clock is ticking.

A DECK THAT REBUILDS EVERY STROKE
Wall bounces deal you cards mid-hole. Play them or pocket them for when they're needed. More than 40 cards, 15 clubs, and 12 balls await you on the Fairway.

RUNS THAT BRANCH
Each course is an 18-hole seeded map under fog of war, with elite holes, Pro Shops, and rest stops to route between. Three courses, procedurally generated every run: spirals, switchbacks, doglegs, dissolving walls, water, sand, and magnets. Pick from five characters, each with a rule of their own. Share a seed link and a friend plays the same run.

EARN THE REST
Much of the roster starts locked. More than 80 unlocks open up through milestones and feats: clubs, balls, cards, characters, ball skins, aim trails, and Tours, a difficulty ladder that strips away your safety net one rule at a time.

Built for phones. Optional haptics and a generative music bed that plays your bounces back to you.

TRY IT TODAY
The front nine of The Grounds is free to play, no account, no timers. To keep going, unlock other courses with a one-time pack (The Breakaway or The Coil) or take everything with the Fairway Rogue Unlimited subscription.

### 5/5 — Pretty run, quite hard

*2026-08-25*

The game is fun. Every run is different. But it’s very hard, I still haven’t beaten it

There are some rough edges to work out, but the game loop is there and the mechanics work well.

### 5/5 — So much fun!!

*2026-08-20*

Love fairway. Played it with my daughter as a way to chill out at night. So much better than scrolling. Also put my golfer dad on too!!
