### 2/5 — Reklamlar

*2024-06-18, version 1.0*

20 saniye oyun 30 saniye reklam var

### 4/5 — Good, but has issues with scores

*2022-08-24*

There are two issues with the scores in this game. The first is that level select lists par, but it does not list the players score, which is displayed in a separate screen and while playing. This makes improving scores extremely tedious. Second, the score card records the player’s most recent score, not their high score. This discourages replaying if a player scored well. These two flaws are a major hassle to replayability. Otherwise though the game is good.

### 3/5 — Good but short

*2022-01-07, version 1.0*

I finished it in 2 hours and 20 something minutes if you turn airplane mode off you dont get adds but you need to add to the game

### 2/5 — ..... 彈跳的邏輯 好難熟悉

### 4/5 — Bruh

*2020-06-19, version 1.0*

Bruh, hole 69 is impossible if you don’t watch an ad to get more strokes

### 3/5 — Great game but ads

*2020-06-11, version 1.0*

The game is fun but after 3 holes or 3 retries an ad plays and it really takes away from the game

### 4/5 — I would give this a 5 star but

*2020-06-10*

Don’t get me wrong, this game is amazing! All of the puzzles and levels! It’s addicting! (To all of the people who hate adds turn your WiFi/ cellular data off) but the game kept crashing after every level and it started to get very annoying. If and hopefully when the developer fixes this I would for sure be a guaranteed 5 star, thank you and have fun playing this game!

### 2/5 — такое

*2019-07-20, version 1.0*

Геймплей не цепляет, игра сама по себе вылетает, много рекламы

### 3/5 — Add more challenging levels!

*2019-05-17*

A great golfers game just too short on levels after it’s been completed. Liked the theme.

### 3/5 — Разработчик

*2019-05-12*

Я конечно понимаю что разработчикам надо на что-то есть, но нельзя ли сделать по меньше рекламы. А то её очень много.

### 3/5 — Problems :(

*2019-03-24, version 1.0*

The game slows down sometimes 
I dont know why

### 2/5 — Meh

*2019-02-11, version 1.0*

Unoriginal gameplay - and the ads last longer than the golf.

### 2/5 — Good

*2019-02-02, version 1.0*

Good game but the same ad every two strokes

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2019-01-25, version 1.0*

I'm a big Nitrome fan, but this game hangs every time I aim on every hole. Also, my iPhone 8 heats up. The graphics for this game don't seem too demanding for my device, but these two issues prevent me from purchasing no-ads, for the time being.

### 4/5 — Zen

*2019-01-11*

Fun game. Needs more levels and less ads however.

### 3/5 — Fun with Flaws

*2019-01-05*

Fun Game, with occasionally port hit boxes, especially with the springs. Although it is a well executed game, in my opinion there were some poor game design decisions, like having the rain levels kinda rng, and having the guideline imprecise (the fat ball at the end covers up where the ball will land) .

TLDR : A fun game, with some real issues that ruin the enjoyment of the game.

### 3/5 — 그치만..

*2018-12-23, version 1.0*

게임은 정말 재밌고 소재도 좋은것 같은데 다른 게임들에 비해서 광고가 너무 많아요

### 2/5 — Fun but not worth it to wade through the ads

*2018-12-13*

This app is an interesting hybrid of golf game and advertisement watching simulator. Unfortunately, the golfing portion of this app is much more interesting than the advertisement portion. This left my experience feeling lopsided and myself feeling a little bit confused. As we have seen for over a decade, Nitrome is a very capable studio and publisher, however this release baffles me as I can’t seem to find a single shred of their trademark charm in this strange romp through a combination of St Andrews and Times Square. Hopefully this design philosophy isn’t continued in their future titles.

Jokes aside, the golf genre is not nearly groundbreaking enough to warrant sitting through as many advertisements as the publishers of this game apparently believe is acceptable. Not only were the ads incessant, they frequently froze for upwards of 15 seconds leaving me even more time to contemplate the sad state of the mobile game industry. My experience could be summarized as watching a number in the top right corner of my screen begin to tick down from five, then stop, then start again, then stop again, and then finally reach zero so I could complete the next level and be immediately greeted with the same situation thirty seconds later. I would not recommend downloading this software.

### 3/5 — Level 54 is actually possible

*2018-11-19, version 1.0*

Despite what a few people think, level 54 is very possible to beat. You beat this level by getting onto the second platform where the light house is before it rains.

### 1/5 — Scam app - copies clipboard for no reason

*2021-06-07, version 1.0*

Deleted app because it copies from the clipboard whenever you open it. There is no good reason for it to do that and all it is doing is gathering data nefariously. Best case, they’re using it to personalize ads, worst case they could potentially scam you or store your private data.

### 1/5 — Worst ad experience ever

*2019-12-30, version 1.0*

REALLY aggressive ads. Like, absurdly aggresive. Just because you can skip ads in like 1-5 seconds doesn’t mean ads in the middle of GAMEPLAY is even REMOTELY appropriate. Stop it.

### 1/5 — Много рекламы

*2019-10-26*

Реклама каждый проигрыш практически, очень мерзко, удаляю

### 1/5 — Заебала ваша мразотная реклама

*2019-10-20*

Через каждые 2-4 ресета

### 1/5 — Level 54 is inpossible

*2019-08-11, version 1.0*

Level 54 is inpossible

### 1/5 — Ads are a joke

*2019-02-04*

What a crazy cash grab. Gameplay is fun, but the ads are too frequent to enjoy it

### 1/5 — Brutal

*2019-02-01, version 1.0*

Game is clearly an advertising cash grab if you don’t shell out the money to turn them off. They’re generally short, but high in volume. Played through the first course (of 4) in less than 10 minutes then uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2018-11-16, version 1.0*

Way too many ads...come on, game devs, don't be that greedy

### 1/5 — Boo!!! I can’t play the game!!!

*2018-11-04, version 1.0*

Every time I lose a ball the ball slows down 2x but everything else is normal speed!! Fix this!!! I can’t play the game!!!😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — 你在玩我？

### 5/5 — HOW TO PLAY GAME WITHOUT ADS FOR FREE!

*2021-07-08*

just turn off wi-fi. Stop complaining. This game is class and these developers need more attention.

### 5/5 — So good!

*2021-05-15*

I’ve been playing your first game a LOT and this just popped up to download the sequel and I LOVE it. Same mechanics but now you get multiple strokes and great use of old and new puzzle mechanics. Gets hard fast but always want to try one more time. Thanks and happy to pay to remove ads on this one.

### 5/5 — Fun Game, Easy to Play

*2019-12-29, version 1.0*

I absolutely adore this game and how it crossed an easy simple style into such a fun app puzzle game.

### 5/5 — 좋은 게임

*2019-10-15, version 1.0*

골프라는 진부한 주제를 오늘날 게임으로서 어필하기 위해서 어떻게 만들어야 할지 잘 고민하고 있습니다. 재미있고 식상하지 않은 전개가 필요한 것. 게임중 등장하는 광고는 광고 제거 몇천원으로 한번 하면 됩니다. 그정도 수고없이 좋은 게임 구할 생각 하는건 도둑놈 심보.

### 5/5 — Amazing game, but....

*2018-11-18*

This is a truly wonderful game with very fun fundamental mechanics. You swipe backward with the distance equaling the power, and you aim with moving left or right. A lot of the times you have to line up shots. The only problem with this is that the size of the whole is WAY too small. I’m not saying this to complain about the difficulty, but other players will agree that when you see a shot from afar, it is a matter of one pixel increment of moving your finger left and right to make a shot, and it simply isn’t fun to have to constantly retry when you miss. I would be perfect with only 5 more pixels or something. Also, there are way too many ads, to the point that I don’t want to even play the game, it’s obnoxious. Otherwise, it’s really great.

### 5/5 — Ml

*2018-10-06*

MORE LEVELS!!!!

### 5/5 — Such a great game

*2018-09-15, version 1.0*

I ‘ve played a lot of games but this one is different . I ‘ve been so interesting and want to continue to play more unlike the other you will get hype and then bored. It’s complex and fun at the same time

### 5/5 — Muy entretenido

*2018-08-03, version 1.0*

El juego funciona perfectamente, no hagáis caso a las reviews negativas comentando ese aspecto. Por lo demás, juego bastante entretenido.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2018-05-22, version 1.0*

Fun game! Challenging yet beatable. Would have been a great game for the NES back in the day!

### 5/5 — Виснит

*2018-05-16*

Начинает замедлятся через пару минут игры буквально на всех уровнях
