"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.

Requieres some skill. Should be good to make it free after all this years and add more customization and UI improvement ### 1/5 — Used to be good. *2024-05-08* It’s unplayable on iPhone 12. Way to screw things up. Deleted. Will check you out in a year and see gow bad it is then. ### 1/5 — The greens are pretty scuffed up *2022-12-30* It is very hard to put because it is very scuffed up ### 5/5 — Harry *2021-04-18* Good game nice and hope it gets updated soon ### 5/5 — Señor *2019-12-14, version 2.570* Mis nietos se pelean mi cel para jugar golf.

In bottom left of screen obscure wind and power meter and make game impossible play ### 5/5 — Gut *2019-05-25* Gutes Spiel für zwischendurch ### 1/5 — GL Golf Lite *2019-05-12* It was a good game before they added advertisement blocks that cover wind direction ,speed and swing strength.
