Everything in a real game of golf is included, such as water hazards, sand traps, trees, bushes, wind, four seasons, different time of days to play, and a driving range. Other great features include both an internet and individual high score list, game saving, great music, iTunes controls, 3 difficulty modes, mulligans, the ability to choose your set of clubs, match/stroke play, online tournaments, customizable male and female golfers, and much more. GL Golf is constantly being updated with free new features. Four new courses are released every year, available for in-app purchase. GL Golf Deluxe is the same as GL Golf but initially comes with 21 courses instead of 6. Both versions have all 40+ courses available with in-app purchase through additional course packs. *New Game Center Multiplayer Support* - Play against your friends or a random opponent on any of your favorite courses. Golfers alternate every three hole until a winner is crowed after all 18 holes are finished.

"This is a solid game and should definitely be on every duffer's app download list." -tuaw.com "In the end, GL Golf is an incredibly deep game, serving up six courses and tons of options, it never gets old" -iPhoneGamingNetwork.com "Of all the golf games and simulations I’ve played so far for the iPhone, there’s one that stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. GL Golf." -intomobile.com "I must say, this app is a very fun app. I am kind of addicted." -iPhoneMatters.com "The game play is solid. To swing the club just double tap on the screen; when the power meter reaches to a spot you want, just single tap and the club will swing, hitting the ball. You can change the type of club you have by dragging your finger up/down the screen, thereby changing the range. The game does pause itself when you tap the home button, so if you get a call while playing, you won't lose your game.

If you're looking for an addictive golf game that you can play for hours and hours, this is it! Be careful though, you might find that the day has just passed you by! Update: So I've tried playing on my iphone13 and the swing button doesn't allow me to get a full power swing. I have to cut my swing short, which causes double and triple bogeys, trying to get to the green. My previous review was for a desktop computer (5*'s). But with the iphone13, I'm being generous with 3*s. I hope you see this review and create a fix for it. ### 5/5 — Graphics meh but beat gameplay of all *2021-06-24* The graphics are uninspiring, but not a problem at all. The only thing that bothers me about it is the menus and stuff are pretty poorly designed and with poor usability. BUT, it has (by far) the best gameplay of any golf game on the App Store. By far. And that, simply enough, takes the cake for me. I can’t go back to the nicer graphics that come with awful gameplay in the other golf games. If you’re a golf enthusiast looking for a fun way to pass the time (and don’t care about the RPG aspects of collecting equipment or playing head to head and whatnot), this is the game for you. ### 5/5 — Great golf game *2021-04-06, version 2.570* I have used this game for many years, it’s still the best one and has worked great on all my devices. I would really recommend trying it out. Great controls, Great graphics, Just strait out great golf. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-03-07* This is a great way to pass the time in a completely zoned fashion. We need that in today’s world. ### 4/5 — Fix the swing button *2020-11-22* The swing button does not work. ### 3/5 — Swing button no longer works (on iPhone XR) *2018-12-29* Great game, been playing it for years, however, I just got a new iPhone XR, my apps updated, and this one no longer functions at all. Please fix the touch/swing button on the new iPhones!!! ### 1/5 — Technical Issues *2018-04-12* I absolutely love this game, best one I’ve had on my mobile. However, the app is no longer working. I’ve restarted my phone, deleted the app and downloaded it again, nothing works. It won’t allow me to start the swing, I paid good money for a game I can’t even play. ### 1/5 — update problem *2018-02-06* After update it didn't work correctly..reloaded n got charged again..want money back ## Frequently asked questions about GL Golf Deluxe ### What is GL Golf Deluxe?
