Not perfect, putting can be unfair, but I’m not looking for an arcade level game on my phone. ### 2/5 — 3/4 of the screen *2023-08-31* I love the old game except the putting. Tried the new game lite and thought it was okay but definitely needed full screen to appreciate. Well I bought full version and the game itself is still only 3/4 of the screen. I emailed the team and have not heard back. I’m going to ask for refund. Too bad, I love the no frills golf games. They are hard to come by. This would have been a welcomed version. ### 4/5 — Ok, but Needs upgrade *2020-01-21* This game isn’t bad for 2 bucks. I bought it and enjoy it except for the putting. The game has some nice courses and decent but dated graphics. What I like is that it is a pure golf game without ridiculous things like special balls, or challenges although you can have up to 4 friends play. I just like to play solo which I can. No account to sign in to but it still keeps your best scores stored locally. My biggest gripe is the putting. It is way too difficult to “read” putts with their grid and moving dots. I have 4 putted some greens! The developers need to update this as well as add some “famous” courses. No updates in 4 years so maybe the developers have abandoned this game ### 4/5 — Good game *2018-12-03* Very entertaining ### 4/5 — Nova Golf *2018-08-17* Good game lots of fun. Would be nice to see how greens run when chipping. Putting alignment needs a little improvement. ### 4/5 — Nice game with good features *2016-10-30* its a decent game of golf. only drawback is that when a player is 25-30 yards away from the green there is no visuals of how the green is or what kind of slope the green has . when we play real golf as we walk towards green we can see beforehand all the topigraphy of the green which is missing in the green. ### 2/5 — New courses *2016-05-15* I just bought several courses. How do I get to them? I don't always wants to play tournaments but just have fun. Why why select PRACTICE I get the same darn course? How do I change things. This is not very intuitive. Need some help please. :) ### 2/5 — RV Man *2016-05-10* This game needs a lot of work and fine-tuning on the programming. A lot of times you can barely find the flagstick and when the flag is out the whole is impossible to see. The bar to get the center of the club is ridiculous to operate. ### 4/5 — Not The Best! *2016-02-16* Although Nova Golf is a good game, it isn't the best. I like being able to add spin to my shot, which is one thing I haven't been able to do. Other then that, I like playing it. ### 4/5 — Decent game *2015-11-10* Overall a decent game. Had issues with earlier versions but it seems to be stable now. ### 4/5 — Nova Golf *2015-08-11, version 1.140* Overall this game is pretty enjoyable. There are frequent long pauses between holes which could be the fault of my device or the app. I have not figured out how to add features like player bonus characteristics or additional courses. Otherwise, the graphics are OK and player control options are good and fun to use. I would recommend this app. ### 4/5 — Curly *2014-11-16* Really. Enjoyed this app except very slow but now freezes after first hole please sort ### 4/5 — Nova Golf *2014-07-31, version 1.120* Great game. Learning curve, but well worth it. ### 4/5 — Latest version broken *2014-03-31, version 1.111* Every time I save my progress during practice when I return my first touch on the swing meter sets it at zero power no mater how quickly or lightly I tap it. This adds a stroke to every hole I play. Haven't tried it in career mode but why would I. Please fix ASAP. Thanks. ### 3/5 — ボールが飛び出してくる *2014-03-30* せっかくカップインしてもカップからボールが飛び出してくる。楽々バーディーがボギーに(怒) ### 2/5 — Nova golf *2014-03-20, version 1.110* Not very happy with the app. The scenery is not good at all ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 18.1.1 *2024-11-27* After installing iOS 18.1.1, Nova Golf loads but freezes. I can select practice and select a course but the start button does nothing. ### 1/5 — Horrible Cash Grab *2021-12-05* Absolute joke. Game opens in a small window in the corner of your screen and requires an unbelievable amount of in app purchases. Yeah it’s only $2 but this is a very misleading and disappointing game. Be careful with games by this company. A lot of work needs to be done here and perhaps a good look at their moral compass ### 1/5 — Need refund *2019-08-29* I want my money back, can’t even play the game due to it only opening in the corner of my screen won’t even go full screen!!!!!!! HOW DO I GET A REFUND!?? ### 1/5 — Do not purchase *2015-12-06* Terrible graphics. Purchased the app but still need to make in app purchases to play. Unable to read green breaks. ### 1/5 — Instabil *2014-03-23* Stürzt immer wieder ab. Leider nicht zu empfehlen. ### 1/5 — App Just Crashes *2014-02-23, version 1.100* I downloaded the app on my iPhone 4. The game loads to about 91% then crashes. About one in 8 attempts the game screen loads and then crashes. I tried deleting and reloading the app. I also powered on/off my phone…same results. I haven't found anything on the web form to correct this issue. I'm rating the app one star because it appears that I just wasted funds on an app does not function as advertised. ### 1/5 — Having trouble with game *2014-02-15, version 1.100* Stops every time I play game can never finish a round of golf ### 1/5 — New version doesn't open *2014-02-13, version 1.100* Didn't poem after upgrade to new version. I deleted and redownloaded new version, and it still doesn't open. Goes to 91%, then goes black, then goes back to home. I hope it gets fixed because I like this game. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2014-01-24, version 1.100* A huge rip off. Stay away ### 1/5 — Don't buy this... *2014-01-17, version 1.100* This is the worse game I have ever downloaded. I wish I could get my money back. This is so bad that I should have been paid to play it to write this review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2019-08-20* It works very well, it’s a lot of fun to play. Challenging but not impossible. Overall intuitive user interface, and one of the better golf experiences I have had on IOS. Definitely worth the price if you enjoy golf on the go. 👍😁 ### 5/5 — It can take a handful of games to grow on you.More you play the challenge it gets.. *2018-09-22, version 1.150* Really like this game! ### 5/5 — Great *2018-02-02* I have tried every golf game and this is the only one I have kept. Even with many having much better graphics, they do not play as well as this one. The only thing I don't like is having to pay for practise courses, what's with that??? ### 5/5 — Good review *2017-09-16* This is the best golf game I have ever played keep up the good luck. ### 5/5 — Great Fun! *2014-10-26, version 1.120* Fair and challenging. I'm addicted. In app purchases work correctly. The developer responds quickly to inquiries. If you're a golf game junkie this game needs to be in your stable. ### 5/5 — Golf *2014-07-27, version 1.120* Very nice! ### 5/5 — Nova Golf *2014-07-20, version 1.120* Just like the real thing, the more you play the better you get. ### 5/5 — Fascinating game.... *2014-07-19, version 1.120* Great game. Many challenges and at times as frustrating as the real game.... I like it a lot. ### 5/5 — NOVA GOLF *2014-03-19* I THINK ITS A GREAT GOLF GAME EASY TO PLAY ALL YOU CRITICS SORTED THIS APP OUT NEVER CRASHED ONCE GRAPHICS OK NOT TIGER WOODS QUALITY BUT THIS AINT TIGER WOODS PUTTING I FOUND SIMPLE GOOD BUY GREAT GOLF 4 U AND YOUR FRIENDS 3 1/2 STARS ### 5/5 — Great upgrade to GL Golf! *2013-12-22, version 1.090* Awesome graphics, nice step up from GL Golf! Physics seem realistic so far after the first round, though there is a lot of variability in the shot results. Get it while it's on sale! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
