"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.

I hope there could be more courses though. Please release an update with improved graphics and additional courses. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Yes! *2025-01-16* I LOVE this game! I pretty much play at least 1 round every day and it’s fun and challenging every time! Please add more courses but otherwise don’t change a thing. This is my perfect golf game 😎⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Wow *2024-12-07, version 2.581* Great game !!!!! ### 1/5 — Game is broken after last update *2024-11-03* The game is broken after last update on November 3rd, 2024. The swing button doesn’t work at all … game is bricked now, unable to play. I’m running latest iOS 18.1 version on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Long time player *2024-10-31* One of my all time favorites games, but it crashes all the time on iOS 18 and is basically unplayable. I really hope they can fix it. ### 3/5 — Very good game *2024-10-20* I absolutely love this game, sadly the new iOS update has made it not as playable. Every time I play on hobo canyon I get booted out after the 2nd through 6th hole. Hopefully there is a patch or an update to the game soon. Shawn ### 3/5 — Crashes *2024-09-24* Absolutely loved this game untill, one day I accidentally deleted the game. I downloaded it back and restored my in-game purchases as well. After I did this I went to play the same course I played every time, August Lane Black Tees and 4th pins. I played hole one and then the game crashed. By crashed in meaning I finish the hole and the app just simply closed. I’m still giving it a 3 star rating because of how fun that it was before it began doing this. If anyone has some tips just try to let me know! Thanks. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-09-20* DO NOT BUY..Never updates and crashes constantly. They crash on purpose and want you to spend money on upgrades you already purchased. Apple please remove this from your store ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Anymore *2023-01-29, version 2.570* This app doesn’t work anymore!!!!! ### 3/5 — NYKenn *2023-01-07* Great game except the putting needs work and a little bit more clarity on distances for the holes. Use in a regular IPad and the Home Screen is vey small to read, and make selections on. Which more detail on other courses to purchase.
