Oh my! Where do I even start?

I fell in love with this game when I first played it. It was easy enough in the beginning to learn how to use the controls. As the game progressed, the difficulty was challenging, but still fun.
Then I noticed the free gems tap off to the side of the screen. The idea is you download a game and play certain levels or complete certain tasks, and they will give you the gems for free. This worked for a short time. Then they stopped paying out gems after completing levels. I emailed them with proof, and they reimbursed me for those gems. Great! Right?
Wrong! It happened again and then again and now a fourth time. They owe me so many gems, that it’s not even funny. I’ve sent them proof, again, and they ignored me. It has been several weeks, and the only communication they send me was an email stating they have not come to a resolution of yet. That was several days ago. They’re still ignoring me. I have sense deleted the games that provided free gems and refuse to send any more proof of the remaining gems, knowing that it will be a waste of time. It’s not much to ask that you keep your word as a business. If you say do a abc and I will give you free gems, and I do abc and he refuse to release the gems, isn’t that lying? The game may be fun, which is why I provided two stars, but that was being generous. It’s not worth it. So I will be deleting this game, and I will not be downloading any more games from this company. It’s a shame, I was a paying customer too.

Игра мне нравится

Еще бы разделить игроков , чтобы те, кто сидят на донате, играли между собой. Потеряете в деньгах, но рейтинг вырастет

Zapped $20!

I’ve made gem purchases here and there with no issue. Just tried to reup and right after my bank app notified me of the debit, the game says “purchased cancelled”.

Starts Off Great, Then Feels Rigged to Make You Spend Money

Golf Rival is a perfect example of a game that starts off enjoyable but quickly becomes frustrating. At first, your shots are powerful, accurate and consistent. You get used to how your clubs perform, the wind and the power needed for each shot.

Then, after a few days, everything seems to change. The exact same shots, using the same clubs, power and technique, suddenly fall short or become wildly inaccurate. Shots that previously worked perfectly no longer behave the same way.

It genuinely feels like the game deliberately changes its mechanics to frustrate players into spending real money on better clubs, balls and upgrades.

I’m all for a challenging game, but there’s a difference between genuine difficulty and what feels like manipulated gameplay designed to encourage purchases.

If the developers want players to spend money, make the game worth investing in rather than making previously reliable shots feel unpredictable.

Great concept, but the apparent pay-to-win manipulation completely ruins the experience.

Great Game

Very addicting have been playing two and a half years.

Excelente

Muy bueno

Play

This game is fun but get ready to get aggravated. Who ever designed this game doesn’t know anything about golf. When you go out of bounds you lose a shot not loose your turn. You can play a conservative game and you will still lose because the computer negates your shot not you. This game will drive you to drinking.this game will not download the videos you are required to watch in order to receive your rewards. I’ve complained several times and they still won’t fix the problem. With that being said you can’t complete the quests and it costs you dearly

Money grab

This game is garbage. The developer just wants you to pump money into it.

The best golf game ever

This golf game is awesome. It’s got a lot of advantages on the other games and it’s very superb. I wouldn’t trade it for nothing in the world.

Worst of the not so great !

Don’t let the name fool you this is NOT a golf simulation by anyone’s standards. The good golf games follow the rules of golf this one does not in anyway do that . As we all know a golf course has nine or eighteen holes . This one has maybe 5 holes per level and one playoff hole, so every level you are playing the same hole over and over and over again. With so many better golf games just skip this one.

Pay to win

Starts off well enough play a few bots then play a few players on ur level. Then you enter kingdom tournament and well every time you try get promotion battles you get put with pay to win players that can out drive in every club. Pointless game

GREAT

It’s a wonderful game cheers .

Not bad, lousy rule

They put beautiful graphics in this app, good play, above average design. Problem I have is NO PENALTY when opponent hits wildly off the course. OB should carry stroke plus penalty. Doesn’t promote a serious game experience.

Decent Fun

Fun and you can play alot without having to buy stuff. The game sometimes seems to pick the winner by forcing your ball really wide into obstacles or into rough. But it is a fun game

Boring

Slow, I was easily bored with this game

Rip off

The developers have given up on providing a good gaming experience. Instead they are targeting people with additive personalities. It’s all about paying for upgrades now. If you want to waste thousands of dollars on a cheesy game, this the one. Greed corrupted the game. It’s ridiculous at this point.

Not good

I was recently playing against someone, and after they went into a water hazard twice, they still tied me on the hole and i shot par. Make it make sense? I will be uninstalling.

Ads are WAY too long

Really enjoy the gameplay. Tried to watch an ad for a gambling site… at least two minutes long… at least. Close the app, start another add, same thing. Ads should NEVER be more than 30 seconds. Now I’ve deleted the app. Great job!

Unfair odds

I watched more than 80 ads in a row cuz I got that many card packs in fairway frenzy and got NOTHING. To the devs: check my pfile…I watch ads so you can make money. Give back to the players that make you that money! I won’t watch another ad so yer getting less $$…what’s yer goal, devs?!

Glitchy

Hole randomly vanishes leaving you searching for it until you’re out of time to make the shot. Fix it.
