But since it's been updated so many times, it is not fun anymore. I deleted it in 2022, but downloaded it again a year later. The closest to the flag challenge was the best before. People had to putt their ball closest to the hole, and whoever survived the longest won. Now it’s a target around the hole, and you had to get the ball in the target to win. Everything is so different now. Power ups are gone, and pretty much everything is gone. I liked the old version better. I thought I had downloaded the wrong game! Although, I really appreciate that all the balls were kept the same, and that was really nostalgic when I saw they were the same. I was so sad when I saw this game. ### 2/5 — Used to be better *2024-08-26* I loved this game the moment I got it in 2017. But since the game has been updated so many times, it is not fun anymore.

I paid to remove adds and now I’m going to delete game. I wish i had my money back ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2023-10-13, version 8.5* I loved this game but now hate it. It updated, it changed completely. The aim and power is now out your control. Please developers please return it to once it was. ### 1/5 — The BIG Cheeese!! *2023-10-11, version 8.5* I play this game probably more than anyone who does. This new update is horrible.there were 2 major changes which are bad. 1) Is changing the way you shoot. Please give us the option to choose the new way or the original way. I really do not like the new way. 2) taking out the power ups. If I recall I paid extra just for that. To make some one pay for a feature and then just remove it is pretty crappy. ### 1/5 — Ruined it *2023-10-11, version 8.4* Can’t play the new update. Deleted ### 1/5 — You changed the entire game! *2023-10-11, version 8.4* What a disappointing update. The game I’ve been playing daily forever randomly got a massive update on my phone, with brand new and significantly worse, less fun controls. Why not allow players the option to at least continue playing the old version? You have made a fun, distracting game significantly worse. What a shame. ### 2/5 — WHAT IS THIS *2023-09-07, version 1.0* I COULDNT EVEN OPEN THE GAME ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-02, version 8.2* Title ### 1/5 — The game doesn’t work… *2023-01-18, version 8.2* When playing multiplayer, sometimes when you win a hole it still gives the point to your opponent. Also, you rack up coins with wins. Occasionally, you just don’t get the coins or your coins randomly disappear. Not sure if this is one of their tactics to try to get you to purchase coins in-app. ### 3/5 — Pub *2023-01-06, version 8.2* Marre des pubs envahissantes qu’on ne peut stopper, à chaque action. Mais le jeu est bien, réglage de la force de frappe, direction précise et possibilité de saut. On peut faire pivoter la vue mais pour certains niveaux élevés manque la vue du dessus. On ne sait pas trop où on va . ### 1/5 — Resources... *2022-10-27, version 1.0* A mac that runs GarageBand and Photoshop without issue was struggling with this and the cooling fan was going insane >.< Deleted. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2022-08-19, version 8.2* A pleasant game… but… Is full of bugs. Getting blocked during the online game. ### 3/5 — Good for 20 minute work break but... *2022-05-06, version 1.0* Found it to be a CPU hog and kicked in my MacBook Air fans full speed. Deleted and downloaded again - same issue. Too bad, lots of fun and challenge. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-04-23, version 1.0* Crashes everytime I try to open it on M1 MacMini ### 1/5 — terrible *2022-03-08, version 1.0* didn't open most of the time and when it did the game is nothing like how it is advertised ### 1/5 — Annoying *2021-12-21, version 8.2* I downloaded this game a week ago and I have deleted it because of 1 thing, the chipping feature. I have tried to beat levels with it and it works 20% of the time, it just sends it to a normal putt into the wall so don’t bother, this game is trash and a waste of space. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can't Play *2026-06-22, version 1.0* Every time I try to open the game on my MacBook it shuts down. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2026-06-07, version 1.0* It never even opened ### 1/5 — bruh *2025-07-16, version 1.0* If u are using a Mac mini it will just crash when u open it like it did to me =( ### 1/5 — Dog Water *2024-11-14, version 1.0* this game does not open I have no clue what the game looks like to play ### 1/5 — bad *2024-10-28, version 1.0* did not even open, kept cradhing. Get betytyer pls ### 1/5 — Unneeded removals *2024-06-18, version 8.5* Don’t understand what genius decided it was a good idea to remove the chip option but I hope they stub their big toe every night. ### 1/5 — Horrible Upgrade *2024-03-18, version 8.5* I choose to up grade all of my apps. What a mistake. You took my favorite golf game and ruined it. Ball control is now terrible. No more chipping. Why can’t companies just leave good things alone. ### 1/5 — Pretty Crappy if you ask Me *2024-02-13, version 1.0* Downloaded it, played to fourth level and major glitches. Not Worth it. Plus its for like 5 year olds. ### 1/5 — What a shame! *2023-12-12, version 8.5* Well, congratulations! You have ruined the best golf game I have ever played! The changes you made are ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Took out best feature *2023-11-23, version 8.5* The jump and speed up actions in previous version is what made this game unique. Why remove the one thing that made it better and different than any other golf game. I used to play everyday now forgotten ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — bhellll *2026-03-25* Anshal jain meowwww gop gopp ### 5/5 — SOB *2023-10-14, version 8.5* They took a really good golf game and turned it into a disaster! No more chipping, no more good matches, no more map 2. You guys blew it big time. Bring back an option for the old game I loved so much. DenMac6 ### 5/5 — I think they stopped updating *2022-03-31, version 8.2* Game was fun for a very long time. We had a good group around the world competing everyday for daily event. Because there was no chat, we’d communicate by changing our usernames. I did eventually get tired and stop playing due to repetitive levels everyday. I logged in today and a week ago and noticed the daily game isn’t occurring anymore . I will definitely come back if there is an update and maybe a chat feature. -Skipper Jenkins ### 5/5 — Putt putt *2021-06-12, version 8.2* Relaxing, no pressure, fun game for kids and adults ### 5/5 — la torta mimosa è good *2021-04-27, version 1.0* questo gioco mi ricorda tanto Alessandro Esposito, un mio caro amigo color roccia. mi ricordo di lui perchè morì di bici senza freni anichilito da un atuobus in tenera erà di succo di pompelmo. ### 5/5 — Tons of levels! *2021-03-04, version 1.0* This game is a lot of fun. hard, but fun. Love the multiplayer mode and collecting stars. Whoever designed the levels is an evil genius. ### 5/5 — Great game but.. *2021-02-10, version 8.00* This game is great and it’s really fun, but I only wish that you could make a sound effect when you hit the ball. And the tour pass and rubies should be cheaper ### 5/5 — Mini golf *2020-11-02, version 7.80* I hate this game ### 5/5 — MAJ *2020-10-23, version 7.80* Bonjour, depuis la mise à jour, on revient au début du jeu après chaque fin de niveau. Pas très confortable ! Problème résolu, merci. Est-il prévu d’autres niveaux au-delà du 405 qui semble être la finalité du jeu à ce jour ? ### 5/5 — Bug fixes *2020-10-11, version 7.80* What’s is wrong with this game? Every time I play 4 man golf royale, the game never ends. Even after everyone is finished and/or the timer counts down to zero. The game stalls and stops working. Please fix this app, it’s a great game and would like to see it working. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
