Love the game otherwise. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Fun simple golf *2023-07-28, version 2.0* This is a fun relaxing single player golf app. There are a few annoying bugs, I paid for no ads but sometimes when I start the app I get an ad…I hate the ‘option’ to view an ad when you get a bogey and replay the hole…I paid for no ads, so no ads please. There are only four courses, hopefully more are coming. You can create courses and share/play other people’s courses that is great. ### 2/5 — Great game, remove ads purchase issue *2023-02-18, version 2.0* I loved the game so much that I payed to remove the ads. Now every time I open the app the ads are back and I have to “restore purchase” to remove them again. Very frustrating. Either fix this or give me my money back please… ### 4/5 — Nice *2022-10-03, version 2.0* Nice game but every time I start the app I have to “remove” the ads again. Already paid to remove the apps. Please fix. Otherwise fun time killer. ### 1/5 — ADS *2022-09-28, version 2.0* I paid for the game but ads still constantly pop up even when I disable. ### 2/5 — Not really fun *2022-08-11, version 2.0* Constant aiming adjustment as it doesn’t auto align with the hole for each shot. Also very difficult to gauge distance using the shot meter compared to all other games. Makes it less fun… ### 2/5 — あか *2022-06-18* たのしい ### 3/5 — Amazing, but button sounds far too loud *2022-05-24, version 2.0* I want to be able to play the game with all the sounds but the music volume seems to be much lower than the sound of the button clicks. It takes away from the experience to constantly hear a click when rotating your character. Otherwise I love this game and will definitely leave a 5 star if this gets resolved. The community seems to be really great as well! The custom levels are really fun and creative. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Robbed *2026-04-06, version 2.0* Payed for no ads and still received them!!! ### 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. ### 1/5 — doggy style sex course? *2024-06-08, version 2.0* I just saw a new course shaped like 2 people having sex doggy style! This App rated age 4+? What is the review process for adding course holes? If not removed and better review procedures put in place I will deleted this app. ### 1/5 — Trotz Kauf nervt Werbung :( *2024-03-23, version 2.0* Jedes Mal wenn ich das Spiel neu starte nervt die Werbung. Jedes mal muss ich in die Einstellungen und Appstore um nachzuweisen, das die App gekauft ist. Macht kein Spaß mehr! ### 1/5 — Just garbage *2024-03-16, version 2.0* Adds in the middle of gameplay are dumb. Throws off your play to the pint of not wanting to play the game. Deleted ### 1/5 — Purchase scam *2024-03-06, version 2.0* I paid for no ads and it still is showing ads and trying to have me purchase again. Forget that the gameplay is really rough and not dynamic, charging for something that doesn’t work is a scam. ### 1/5 — "Over par - Watch ad to reset hole" *2023-12-26, version 2.0* What, am I playing for money?? You're going to force me to watch an ad after I make this putt anyway. Think I'd rather delete the app... ### 1/5 — 광고 다 봐도 안 없어지면 어쩌라는 거지? *2023-02-07* 개빡치네 별 같잖은 게임이 ### 1/5 — Buying remove ads doesn't remove ads *2022-11-18, version 2.0* Paid the $3 to remove ads. Works sometimes, but most of the time I still get ads very few holes. Very annoying. ### 1/5 — Ads don’t go away when you pay *2022-10-28, version 2.0* Imagine that. Pay money through a service that doesn’t offer refunds for a service it doesn’t deliver on. I paid to remove ads, but the things just keep popping up. Over and over when I’m playing as normal. Unreal. Enjoy the game, don’t pay for the service to “remove” ads. It doesn’t. They won’t. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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.

Думаю, она и в правду идеальна. Осталось скины и прочие вещи сделать более лимитированные ### 5/5 — Review *2023-08-08, version 2.0* One of the best golf games I have ever played I love the simplicity you guys should make more games like this!!! ### 5/5 — Play this game *2022-11-05, version 2.0* Really fun game to kill time but I paid for no ads and still getting ads. Other than that, simple and fun game ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2022-07-19, version 2.0* It’s awesome and has good music. It’s cool how you can play user created levels. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-08-31, version 2.0* This game is great. It’s simple. It’s fun. It’s not too hard. It’s not too easy. It’s a perfect balance of a lot of features that many people will like. Featuring custom player-made courses is genius. However, there are some additions that could put this game way over the top. For one, although I love creating holes to play, I want the ability to put them together as a playable 9 hole course. These could be shared with friends and would be a lot of fun to compete with one another on. This would allow people to recreate real life courses, as well as ones of their own imagination. Besides this, this is by far my favorite golf game on the App Store. Wonderful job. ### 5/5 — Einfach süchtigmachend *2021-08-31, version 2.0* Ich liebe es! ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-04-02, version 1.4* I would like to move my golfer while looking at the hole. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
