Why? You might say. Well, I was getting so frustrated with all of the BS and bias in the background it was NOT fun any longer. Before, I was playing virtually every day, was the CoCaptain of my Clubhouse and consistently the #1 player on our Clubhouse roster. Things like putting a ball on the green, it slowly rolling toward the hole and then all of a sudden the ball makes a radical 90 degree turn a flies off the green out of bounds or into the water hazard. That kind of thing happened invariably when it was a higher ranked player that I was out scoring. This is only one of many examples of bias toward players that were buying advantage in the form of clubs, etc. I complained to the developers numerous times about similar occurrences and would always got these pat company line responses that said basically we could give a #$&@ about your concerns. Their rep actually once said to me “We are not cheating!” Without me ever saying that they were. But let me explain something to everyone. I grew up believing that if someone paid money to gain advantage over a competitor that was cheating. IN IT’S PUREST FORM!! I realize that’s their business model. Still doesn’t make it not cheating. The algorithms are so slanted and biased however that it makes it NO FUN. Ostensibly the reason that we play these games. Well, they are losing darn good regular players like me! ### 4/5 — PGA Tour Golf Shootout *2026-09-06, version 5.20.0* Good game,great rewards,& great clubs. ### 4/5 — Rewards *2026-09-06, version 5.20.0* Game is great fun to play minimal adds. But only thing I don’t like is challenges will say win a ruby pack and when I complete it I get a silver pack. Seems like false advertisement. Why does that happen? ### 4/5 — Glitches *2026-09-05, version 5.20.0* The game is great but not all shots are accurate, game tends to glitch out when hitting the ball and freezes in the air or extends the path further than where you hit. After level 6 going into level 7 for upgrading clubs will juice your pockets if you want to advance faster, I think it should ease up a bit when it comes to that, and maybe add more legendary clubs. Other from that its a good game. ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-09-04, version 5.20.0* Fun, engaging and addictive. Great game. If it only translated to the real world ### 2/5 — Fun game, ads are unbearable *2026-09-04, version 5.20.0* The game is undoubtedly fun. But the ads are keeping me from playing it. Not only are they unbearably long, but they seem to be broken more often than not and never go away. Hard to justify wasting so much of my supposed fun time on this. ### 4/5 — Long Term Player *2026-09-02, version 5.20.0* Many 5 star reviews, must be new players, like all app games, you start out good, but then as you get into the upper levels, it is a whole lot different, developers feel you need to be challenged, to the point that you wonder why your still playing, it is probably due to the fact that the add’s only play when you want too watch them to get the coin and gold bars to improve your clubs, or you will have to spend real money to do that, believe me you get very little for free and then they like to take away things you were getting by playing, like 10 gold bars for a albatross, Then they like you to believe you are getting better by what they replaced it with, more rewards at the end of the month, does not equal out. Thank you ### 4/5 — Albe *2026-08-31, version 5.20.0* Return the 10 gold for players with little means and the only ability to compete ### 2/5 — turn it up *2026-08-31, version 5.19.2* Been engaging with this app for a while. Does get a bit repetitive huh ? New 18 holes would be good and the greens are so boring, can would make them more interesting and challenging.. ### 4/5 — A good time waster for golfers . *2026-08-27, version 5.19.2* One of the better golf apps. ### 5/5 — Yh *2026-08-21, version 5.19.0* Best golf game ever prolly ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-20, version 5.19.0* So far no adds of I don’t want extras. I would like to see more 18 hole challenges for novices. ### 5/5 — A shootout with every stroke *2026-08-20, version 5.19.0* Game very challenging, course makes you think before every shot. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-19, version 5.19.0* I don’t know why people are writing bad reviews because it’s an excellent game and very realistic. Also it’s easy to play and if you’re looking for a good golf game to play I highly recommend this one. ### 5/5 — What A Great Golf Game *2026-08-19, version 5.19.0* Just download it and find out what I mean, it’s awesome! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-09-06, version 5.20.0* This game was awesome when I first started playing but now it’s all about the money and spending they started reducing gifts and free stuff with every new update and now the latest update has my game glitching and I can no longer putt because the accuracy par seems to have some sort of twitch, use to putt great but now it just keeps jumping . ### 1/5 — Ties? Really, ties? *2026-09-04, version 5.20.0* The most recent update now allows for ties and does not award a point to either player. This change needs to rolled back because it takes away from the game itself. ### 1/5 — 5.20 *2026-09-04, version 5.20.0* Unstable jittery performance nurfed clubs way out whack speed control ,and support ignores request for help ,good news videos dosnt work ,Bad news because they don’t work it’s hard to play free tournaments ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-09-03, version 5.20.0* Bro the ads are so long in this that I honestly just want to uninstall it now. Really a waste of my time. ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-08-26, version 5.19.2* Takes over 30 minutes to get daily rewards. Watching ads that play and crash. No fixes! ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, and more ads…or you can just spend a ton of money *2026-08-12, version 5.19.0* The ads in this game are like a second job. Long ads…ads that you have to watch in order to know when to advance thru the ad…ads that require 3 and 4 touches on your screen to finish. Ads that are like 2 minutes long when you factor in all the time it tries to get you to download the game. I just don’t have time for it . ### 1/5 — To many cheaters *2026-08-05, version 5.19.0* They allow cheating to goon and one … guys win tournaments as they get hole in ones just about on every hole. Look at their stats and they have over 4k HIO…. And you have to use gold to play the tournaments just to know you will never win…. Game is getting worse every day. ### 1/5 — PGA bend over *2026-08-03, version 5.18.1* Do not recommend. Was once a great game but has turned into a cash grab for the developer. Do not expect to do well in this game in a reasonable time without dropping some serious coin. So sad it’s been ruined by greed. ### 1/5 — A tall story *2026-07-20, version 5.17.0* So after nerfing The Rockets Abilities from 100% to 65% - took us legendary players years to Max and deservedly reap its rewards de facto. Slapped in the face our gorgeous club had its balls cut off. CS bribery was a payment of 150,000 coins from the software monsters. So i see our nerfed Rocket has been re nerfed to 'elite' status. Its ability goes from 65% to 68%. that's good. let's call it progress or rehabilitation. Was on sale to buy a tiny addition to its level status to get it from 12 (maxed) to elite. Cost ? £35. You are kidding us right CS ? ### 1/5 — Fraud! *2026-07-06, version 5.17.0* Still haven’t fixed the rewards. I watched your long add but did not receive the reward. This is FRAUD! I did my part. You didn’t. And you know this issue exists yet you don’t seem to be smart enough to fix it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-09-08, version 5.20.0* So far I am loving this golf game!!! ### 5/5 — Great game honest review *2026-09-06, version 5.20.0* It’s a great game, I’ve sunk a lot of time into it. I like the variety of things to do and it keeps you interested. The game has a couple of let downs, but no game is perfect. I find some clubs are outright useless, Mimic seems to serve no real purpose that I’ve been able to find yet. Playing tournaments and seeing people who are hitting multiple HIO’s and taking out first place seems impossible to match. ### 5/5 — Relaxing game *2026-09-03, version 5.20.0* No stress game and being able to get better balls and clubs is a plus ! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-09-02, version 5.20.0* Little to no adds. Good courses and nice all around experience. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2026-08-30, version 5.19.2* 👌👌👌 ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-30, version 5.19.2* Great game. Good graphics, interesting holes and courses. ### 5/5 — Golf *2026-08-29, version 5.19.2* Real fun way to past the time whilst loving golf. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-27, version 5.19.2* Great game to connect with friends and have fun playing the game we all love which all ages can play in real life and in game.highly recommend. ### 5/5 — 18294 *2026-08-27, version 5.19.2* Nicely done ### 5/5 — Barely any ads *2026-08-23, version 5.19.0* It is nice to play a game and not watch ads the entire time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
