However, it seems the developers have jus disappeared. ### 4/5 — Like it, but need more courses *2010-05-24* I have been playing this for about a year. About to quit though because I am getting bored with just 3 courses. I like this better than some of the other golf games I have tried. ### 4/5 — Good stuff *2010-04-03, version 0* Lot's of hours killing a few minutes. Well worth a dollar. Updates would be great but still always a challenge. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2010-01-06, version 0* Terrible game the graphics the gameplay just everything about it AVOID ### 1/5 — Par 72 Golf *2009-12-27, version 0* What a horrible game. I seriously want my dollar back. ### 4/5 — Awesome Game - But *2009-11-28* The game is a lot of fun to play, don't listen to all of the garbage. But it does need an update, it's frustrating when you know you will miss your putt prior shooting, you should be able to fine tune your putt. It would be nice to be able to play with multiple players. At work four of play after work every day, in fact the other three guys bought the iPod Touch just to play this game. ### 2/5 — hardly worth $1 *2009-09-22, version 0* Very frustrating game. Putter controls are terrible. Fairway layouts crazy. Deleted app after I played each course only once. ### 4/5 — Golf *2009-08-16* Great app I would like an updated new course and some way to play with others. I am still trying to make a hole in one. Also show the total score at anytime instead of at the end of a course ### 2/5 — Kind of a waste of money *2009-08-01, version 0* Ok @ .99 cents I took a risk. But I agree with others this is pretty bad. It looks like a first year graphics student put this out and said "hey I can make a buck everytime some sucker downloads this... Oh IM in" well count me as sucker 1000+. Don't be 1001+. ### 4/5 — pretty good *2009-07-29* veryy fun game. everyone saying stuff about mountains in the fairway, I can't even think of one hole that does. it does need new courses I'm getting to good at them. lowest round 56. also you should be able to play against other people and a computer ### 1/5 — Terrible(dont waste a dollar) *2009-06-22, version 0* I normaly dont write a review for apps. But this app is so terrible i had to write it. Needs to be redone and move the mountains out of the fairway. Also every green is on a hill so you cant sit on the green. All in all the creators need to go see a real golf course because no course is like that. Dumb app. Dont buy. ### 1/5 — Deleted it after playing the first hole *2009-05-30, version 0* Cheap and ugly looking, terrible game play, a true bogey of a game. Stay away. ### 1/5 — Dont *2009-05-25, version 0* It is crap doesnhelp you or anything and it is not worth 59p ### 1/5 — Mountains in the fairways! *2009-05-04, version 0* Why are there mountains in the middle of the fairways? Without effective distance references, and limited shot control, this is NOT a fun or realistic game. Graphics and animations are so Last-century. A better option is EA's Tiger Woods PGA golf which has better graphics, realistic play (for a video game), on real courses from the PGA tour. Don't waste your time or money. ### 2/5 — Simple, no thrills golf *2009-05-03, version 0* This is just ok. It's very simple and has nice graphics but absolutely no depth. If you want more than this with some mechanics & simulation, I'd be definitely looking elsewhere. At the moment this is one of the cheapest golf games available at $2.49. It is very easy to play, perhaps a bit too easy as I scored a 6 under par round the first time I played it. Putting is rediculously easy too. Some difficulty levels could be a welcome addition? I'd be checking out the free version to see if this is for you. ### 1/5 — All Bogies *2009-04-26, version 0* Don't waste time or money ### 3/5 — Needs some updating *2009-04-17, version 0* Overall an effective time Easter. Needs some new courses. Top scores for each course would be nice as one course is much easier than the other two. So all of my low scores come from the same course. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Well below par 72 golf. *2017-02-16, version 2.05* Total rip off.lets you have one shot then nothing.deleted after three minutes.i want my quid back. ### 1/5 — Update Ruined Game *2015-10-12* Who ever decided to move the veiw point for the update should be fired. The update takes this from one of my favorite golf games to the worst. No way to zoom in without the birdseye view, the swing meter is so small you canot acurrately guage it, just terrible. For those considering this don't. Stay away, tjis game now that's it been updated s#£ks! ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2014-08-02, version 2.04* 0 stars.. Awful. ### 1/5 — Schwap *2011-07-17, version 2.04* Horrible. Boring. Really is a bad app. Any positive ratings are no doubt from publishers or friends of....played one hole and nothing about it was fun. ### 1/5 — This is sad. *2011-02-15, version 2.04* This is a sad game. It's so boring. What's funny is that it is made by the same people who made the awesome game "Cut The Rope". ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2010-10-30, version 0* Worst golf game I've played. Music is rubbish and if you turn it off, it also turns sound effects off. Looks cheap and tacky, simple game play, no depth what so ever. Look elsewhere. You'll play it once and delete it, like I am going to. ### 1/5 — Crashes at 2x on iPad *2010-07-31, version 0* Not a bad way to waste time on a iPhone, on the iPad...watch out! If you're playing in the 2x mode, it crashes...plain and simple. Just crashes. Maybe someone will make a better game that combines all of the features desired...or maybe not! ### 1/5 — Poor *2010-06-01, version 0* Worst golf game ever, don't waste your money with this game ### 1/5 — Bad *2010-01-29, version 0* Just all around not good ### 1/5 — Bad *2010-01-17, version 0* This game is not very good. I have had this game for a very long time and the developer does not provide any updates. Need more courses and better graphics, not worth .99 cent ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yay! *2009-09-27, version 0* Best score is -11! ### 5/5 — Lowest round *2009-07-22, version 0* 57 ### 5/5 — Don't listen to others *2009-05-17, version 0* These ppl have no Idea war there talking about this game is a ton of fun and never gets old. GET IT it's so fun getting chip INS ### 5/5 — Running Back *2009-01-30, version 0* This game is the business, badest G-game on apps for real kid! ### 5/5 — Lots of fun for the money *2009-01-28, version 0* Awesome game - love it! ### 5/5 — Amaizing *2009-01-02, version 0* Very time consuming it's just great ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2008-12-30, version 0* Great app for free time and all the courses are fun and entertaining. Nice Job! ### 5/5 — Great game *2008-12-16, version 0* I would like to be able to see scores other than when game is over and also sometimes forget which course I was playing so at end don't know which score I just posted to the list. Also would be great to see "HOLE IN ONE!" instead of eagle. I know technically it is am eagle but still. As for comments about turtle back green and make easier. Give me a break buddy if you eagled every hole how challenging would the game be? I like the hard ones except there is one par 3 further than driver can reach. Only way to get on is bouncing off edge of bunker. Looking fforward to seeing more courses added but GREAT job guys! ### 5/5 — By far the best golf game on iTunes. *2008-12-07, version 0* Images are good; sale price is great; fun to play; sound is good; easy to control. Overall, it's the best golf game I've found on iTunes and one of the best sports games as well. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2008-11-17, version 0* This game is perfect for the iPhone. Although the graphics are not as good as say Playstation it's a very enjoyable game and hard to put down. The controls are easy to use once u get used to them and just like real golf your always striving for the perfect game. The price of $2.59 is well worth it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
