The ball never changes speed but your “strength” just dictates how long rolls. I can’t really explain it but it’s unsatisfying. Everything is super slow ### 4/5 — Slow *2026-02-03, version 2.2.12* I really like the game it is fun to play but I feel that no matter how hard I hit the ball it goes kind of slow. But other than that it is relaxing ### 4/5 — Golf *2025-06-20, version 2.2.12* The game is pretty addictive and I've played more than 1700 holes, almost ashamed to say that. But the game never seems to change. Each hole is the same as the one you've played before with a minor twist in variation that you've also played before. Developer, please make more variations to the courses. ### 3/5 — Fun but visibility not great *2024-10-16, version 2.2.12* Can’t see lower platforms because upper platforms get in the way. Some of the obstacles require sheer dumb luck. ### 4/5 — Fun but… *2024-10-04, version 2.2.12* Fun way to kill time but had to delete the app twice because of a never ending loop. Twice now I got stuck where I missed a shot and it went off course. When the game places the ball back on the course it’s in a spot that it automatically rolls off the course again. When this happens it just keeps doing the same thing so you cannot get another shot. Endless loop. ### 3/5 — Starts off fun but… *2024-10-02, version 2.2.12* It started off fun, and I was excited about the game. But after a while, it got repetitive, boring, and tedious to play. ### 4/5 — Love this game *2024-09-29, version 2.2.12* There gets to a point where I can’t see the map because the rest of the course is blocked off by itself, there’s times where I’m just swinging randomly and hoping that I make some sort of progress. Still a good little game tho ### 3/5 — Paid for no ads, still getting ads?! *2024-05-21, version 2.2.12* Fun game but I feel swindled ### 4/5 — Addicting *2024-02-22, version 2.2.12* I guess addicting can be good or bad in this case. I’ll let you decide. ### 4/5 — Challenging *2024-01-04* This is a super game…very satisfying…you progress extremely well…which makes the game enjoyable…yet…really challenging at the same time…give it a go…!! ### 4/5 — Good but lost to hackers *2023-10-20* It’s good, but disappointing hackers have taken over the leaderboards so it’s impossible to win all the achievements the game offers ### 4/5 — Custom Holes *2023-05-16, version 2.2.12* Would love the ability to Create and Share custom User levels. A prerequisite for sharing a level would be that you have to complete it once yourself, proving that it was doable. ### 4/5 — Good game *2023-01-11, version 2.2.12* Not at all “zen”. After level 100 it becomes one of the most infuriating games I have ever played. Unlucky bounces, inconsistent power. I had to delete it because it was so frustrating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2025-08-12, version 2.2.12* Review from 7 years ago set up several issues that needed to be addressed and none were addressed. Save yourself the headache of this annoying game by downloading literally anything else. Maps are bland and generic with annoying angles. Nothing gained from getting it in one as opposed to getting it in on 35. This game is made solely for devs to collect ad money or idiots who pay. Wack. 👎 ### 1/5 — Cant even see the hole on some *2024-11-14, version 2.2.12* Bruh get real ### 1/5 — Fun until 205 *2023-11-17, version 2.2.12* After about 205 it gets so hard it’s not fun anymore. I’m deleting the file. This isn’t the first time I deleted this program. The same thing happened in the past and I deleted it before ### 1/5 — Vista golf *2023-10-15, version 2.2.12* The sets mini world app freezes the game! ### 1/5 — I remember when games didn’t have ads. *2023-04-07, version 2.2.12* I hate this new paradigm. You people will try and scrape every last free second of our time with ads. Profit is the only thing that matters to these people, we’re like stupid fish going after a worm on a hook, too dumb(and numb) too know any better. ### 1/5 — DT *2023-02-24* I have played my last game of Vista Golf. Good bye. The game sucks. ### 1/5 — Fun until freezing *2022-07-06, version 2.2.9* Game started freezing in the 200s of holes, requires restart and sometimes doesn’t even fix it. Restarted 10 times trying to do hole 234 and it still freezes on loading. ### 1/5 — One Star One Ad played for literally 2 minutes *2022-01-15, version 2.2.9* Forces u to pay with 2-5 minute ads. ### 1/5 — Game crashes offline *2021-10-28* Good game, but suddenly stopped working offline. ### 1/5 — Ads ads & more ads *2021-08-06, version 2.2.9* I get it, free game so no one is making any real money just off downloads alone. Getting an ad after every 1-2 holes is quite absurd & rather obnoxious. It’d be cool if there were some benefit to paying other than just “no ads” as in ball designs, trails, etc but that’s not an option it seems. Having an ad run so consistently turns me off from playing the game entirely as it’s just an intrusive way for developers to bug the customer enough to chalk up a few bucks which is rather obnoxious & predatory. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like *2026-07-29, version 2.2.12* I like ### 5/5 — Replay *2026-05-29, version 2.2.12* Love this game, but would love to see a historical leaderboard. I would not be surprised if someone has played 500,000 holes ### 5/5 — Amazing and Simple Game!!! *2026-04-17, version 2.2.12* This is an amazing game. It is simple while very fun! Though the game may look simple, it is competitive for the leaderboard in the weekly and daily challenges. It is easy for young kids to play and understand. There is no set up needed for this game. Just download, open, and start golfing! Download it on your phone or tablet. It works great on android as well as apple devices. The music is calming and relaxing which is perfect for golf. So download and start golfing now! ### 5/5 — I need to know *2025-07-28, version 2.2.12* What is the name of the first song tropical beach like the official name btw love the game five stars ### 5/5 — Would recommend *2024-12-09, version 2.2.12* only real complaint is that it’s isometric view, so there’s no good depth perception. ### 5/5 — I love it *2024-06-25, version 2.2.12* I love the game very calm but I don’t know how to get “vista golf’s pro skater but I think it’s because I’m on level 124. 5 stars ### 5/5 — Awesome but… *2023-06-05, version 2.2.12* This is the best single-player “mini” golf game I have ever played! But there is one bug I need to tell you about. Hole 113. While I was playing the hole, I stumbled across a bug where the golf ball does not work with the spinner at three beginning. Sometimes I go through it, and sometimes the spinner just stops. So please fix this bug and bring back Vista golf rivals. I loved it a lot and I want it back. ### 5/5 — Daily Challenge *2023-06-02, version 2.2.12* Competitive and fun. ### 5/5 — Relaxing fun golf game *2023-04-15, version 2.2.12* Great game to play and relax. Many little tricks to learn while enjoying the golf holes. Few adds come up but mostly just just fun play time. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2023-02-01* Amazing game! Soo much fun!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
