### 3/5 — Paid to remove ads -still ads

*2026-04-17, version 2.0*

I paid to remove the ads and when I open this game I get ads??? Love the game otherwise.

### 1/5 — Robbed

*2026-04-06, version 2.0*

Payed for no ads and still received them!!!

### 2/5 — Great Game but Ad Issues

*2026-02-26, version 2.0*

I really enjoy the game, and it’s a fun way to pass some time. I like the ability to make your own courses and play other peoples creations as well.

However, I have to dock it stars as I paid for the fee to remove ads but the game “resets” the setting every time I open it. If I don’t restore my purchases, I will still get served ads. If I continue to experience this issue, I will ask for refund since I’m not getting the full benefit

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-10-18, version 2.0*

I love this golf game. I was looking for a golf game that you could create your own golf course. Thank you so much for making this this   ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — 굿게임

*2025-10-10*

굿잡

### 2/5 — Latest OS has broken this game!

*2024-09-30, version 2.0*

Latest OS has broken this game!

### 4/5 — Fun, but

*2024-08-10, version 2.0*

I paid to remove ads but they still play every time I open the app.

### 2/5 — No sound, no music and no vibrating!

*2024-08-04, version 2.0*

Update: abandonware. Not touched in three years! Deleted.
—-
The swing/power indicator is fine for everything EXCEPT putting. It’s impossible to sink short puts as you can touch fast enough to make close puts! The actual game action is adequate but that’s it. Aiming physics needs to behave like it does on the map. On the main view the aiming isn’t sensitive enough. You overshoot. Putting is terrible. The scale is wrong. It behaves like driving does. You can’t hit the ball softly on a 3’ put. 2 stars as too many things don’t work on iPhone 12 on iOS 17.5.1. Fix these things and I’ll buy it.

### 1/5 — Issues with “Removing Ads”

*2024-07-28, version 2.0*

Nice game- and I paid the $3 to remove ads. However, EVERY new game it decides to re-set the settings to “having ads” and therefore I am stuck watching ads I paid to get rid of. What can be done about this? Help. And will increase the star reviews.

Until this little hiccup is fixed, I’m deleting. The game.

### 3/5 — Good game pretty upset tho…

*2024-06-12, version 2.0*

I honestly enjoy this game but it is absolutely unplayable with ads so I paid for no ads and legit the day after I paid for it I get ads on it…. Really irritating I kinda expect a refund or fix soon.
