If they are that great keep them out of a rookie tournament. ### 2/5 — Unrealistic Golf. *2026-08-12, version 1.203.1* It’s not a bad game but it’s totally crazy that when you start you play against masters and the Elite. And when you become a tour pro you play against hacks. Another annoying thing is you can be so close to the hole yet miss by a mile because the green speeds don’t match the speed indicated. It’s ok game but not as good as they say. ### 4/5 — すごく良い！ *2026-08-11* めちゃくちゃリアルで面白いです、面白いからこそやって欲しいことがあって、打つ時のクラブの振り幅を全部フルスイングじゃなくて、距離によってスイング変えたらもっと良くなると思います(例えば100ydでフルスイングなら50ydでハーフスイングなどです)よろしくお願いします ### 1/5 — G *2026-08-08, version 1.203.1* I have played this game for a few years and had no issues, but lately I have had to change my device and the game wouldn’t let me sign in as my old player name so I created another and started again, but now the app keeps asking me to sign in but don’t recognise my info and open the app. I have now done this twice and I am fed up so it’s goodbye to this app ### 2/5 — was fun until it wasn’t *2026-08-08, version 1.203.1* Fun game at first but the longer I played, the more the game began throwing my shots wildly off course. Not sure if there’s some algorithm to slow non-paying members, but it made it unplayable for me. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time… *2026-08-08, version 1.203.1* Great graphics only… backed up with totally inconsistent REAL golf play, a rigged system takes all the fun right out of even playing the game. Spending money is what the developers suck you into and even at that you’ll still loose. Stay away and just find a honest golf game play. Just read the negative reviews, you’ll get the picture!!! ### 1/5 — Money trap *2026-08-07, version 1.203.1* Great graphics and fun to play, but unless you buy clubs and balls, you will always get destroyed by the players who do. No matter how “good” you are vs them. ### 3/5 — Played this games since 2008 *2026-08-06, version 1.203.1* I started playing wgt on the computer back in 2008. Today the game has improved much. But WE still want to see ball marks on the greens,(every real golfer knows ball marks), why no ball marks? Why show us the divots but no ball marks? Also, the sky’s are mimicking/ (normalizing) geo-engineering skys, not cool ### 1/5 — Game of lie *2026-08-06, version 1.203.1* It tricks you to buy stuff and the again same story but better stuff. Impossible to count wind moves or clubs distance, one time too far or too close with same club . Lack of beginnings tutorial. Hope one day apple will ban games like this and they will take care better of them product. ### 1/5 — Every update makes the game worse *2026-08-06, version 1.203.1* Screens get harder to navigate and more cluttered with every update. Spend the time to actually fix the game. Still can’t control distances. Accurate shots go astray for no reason. ### 1/5 — Joke *2026-08-05, version 1.203.1* The site has to be the worst . Way too many bots and the matchups are so unfair. ### 4/5 — Amazing, but… *2026-08-05, version 1.203.1* I really enjoy this game and play more than I should! As such, my one complaint is that it becomes very repetitive! Would love to see more courses added!! ### 1/5 — Rigged, Rigged, Rigged *2026-08-05, version 1.203.1* There’s not much honest about this game. The equipment is outrageously expensive, and if you don’t buy it, the algorithms ensure you won’t be competitive. Surprised? It’s the worst of capitalism, baby! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-08-05, version 1.203.1* Won’t let me even get past the username part. it just says i have bad wifi even though i dont ### 1/5 — Realistic is a joke *2026-08-05, version 1.203.1* More like goofy golf ### 3/5 — Top golf *2026-08-04, version 1.203.1* 👎 ### 1/5 — 👎 *2026-08-04, version 1.203.1* Why are all of my distances so off ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game stopped working *2026-08-20, version 1.203.1* Loved the game but it stopped working 3 days ago and have messaged wgt 2 times with no response. Love spending money on a game to get ghosted by wgt ### 1/5 — Horrid game *2026-08-16, version 1.203.1* This game is so bad I’d rather be skinned alive than play this garbage ### 1/5 — Sadly they don’t care about your experience *2026-08-14, version 1.203.1* I was really enjoying this game until I started experiencing the glitches. I never spent a dollar on the game, but the credits to buy gear and balls are hard to come by without paying…fair enough. I will tell you that using your credits, whether gained for free or bought are well spent on balls that slow the swing meter. Anyway, just finished explaining to the admin how a glitch caused me to lose an entire box of slow meter balls, bought a second out of disbelief, kept hitting and lost the match as my hybrid kept dropping out of bounds at 130 yards on a flat drive despite perfectly timing the shot with the wind to my back and a 190 yard range on the club. When admin said they couldn’t verify my issue I promised a horrible review and told them to pound sand. Deleting the app after this. You will see what I mean and if you end up spending money on the app I imagine you will be more upset than me. Don’t bother. Any suggestions for a better golf app? ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-13, version 1.203.1* No matter how much you hone your skills, if you aren’t paying for things and spending money, you will soon have to face the perks of the ones that do spend money on this game. Even if you are more skilled, they will bounce out of sand traps. Drive their tee shots through a tree and somehow end up on the other side of heavy brush that they just hit their ball into. If you end up within two yards of the hole in a tiebreaker they will end up 1 yard and 10 inches. The perks will beat you even if their skill can’t. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-13, version 1.203.1* Don’t waste your time unless you intend to spend a bunch of money on VR clubs and gear. The game is designed to only let you have a chance of doing well if you pay for club upgrades. “Perfect” shots with the stock clubs don’t even put you in contest. I hit perfect shots five holes in a row and wasn’t even close enough to make par. ### 1/5 — Complete joke of a golf game! *2026-08-11, version 1.203.1* Great graphics only… backed up with totally inconsistent real golf play, rigged system takes all the fun right out of even playing the game. Just read the negative reviews, you’ll get the picture!!! ### 1/5 — Swing and a Miss *2026-08-10, version 1.203.1* Pay to win. Also, this is quite literally the LEAST realistic golf game on the planet.. might want a new title. ### 1/5 — Spin option *2026-08-10* Did the spin option disappear? ### 1/5 — Every update is worse *2026-08-10, version 1.203.1* This game now stinks , terrible update lately they just make no sense ! They take away the bonus spin huge mistake, just a bunch of money hungry goons ! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-08-09, version 1.203.1* The recent updates have introduced so many bugs. I am guessing seeing as it’s evident they are using AI for the UI that they are also using it for code too and the QA’s must be asleep. Payment processing never crashes though….. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don’t join *2026-08-15, version 1.203.1* Only if you’re into playing tons of bots. Known for unfair matchups. If you asked about unfair matchups they will close your account. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-07, version 1.203.1* Hitting the ball is very fun I recommend playing this game. ### 5/5 — Love this game so much *2026-08-06* I’ve been playing WGT Golf since last 8 years or so. It is my favourite and only one game on my iPhone. The realistic golf courses imbedded in game and all the graphics makes it so real (also playing in real time) makes much more fun and enjoyable. It’s free and only pro shop is what you want additional things in game is chargeable if you want. I just love this game and recommend it. ### 5/5 — VERY REALISTIC *2026-08-03, version 1.203.1* This game is sooooooo realistic! Everything is awesome about it. Only one thing: the only way to unlock great clubs is to buy the currency with real money. But you can still play good because at first it gives you enough to buy a couple good clubs. Very fun and overall best golf game ever. ### 5/5 — My stats *2026-07-29, version 1.202.1* Good gm ### 5/5 — Enjoying the game!!! *2026-07-22, version 1.202.1* Been really getting into this game the past couple of weeks. I find it more enjoyable playing with friends that are actually next to me in person. Becomes very competitive ### 5/5 — Best GAME *2026-07-20, version 1.202.1* This game is a game where you can play with friends and it’s really making me mad when you have to leave the game and then join another game when someone leave s so I really only play with friends most time ### 5/5 — new course suggestion *2026-07-17, version 1.202.1* i absolutely love this game, can we please get The Renaissance Club added into the game, as this is the course that this years Genesis Scottish Open was hosted at ### 5/5 — Incredible game *2026-07-14* Best golf game i ever played, even better that you can crossplay between PC and your smartphone, and with beautiful courses! ### 5/5 — Needs to be a penalty for in-game quitters *2026-07-04, version 1.202.1* Awesome game - love it! One thing for sure would make it better is to penalize players when they quit during a game being played with others. This is SO frustrating and when this happens; the game is over for all players involved during group play. Maybe dock the player down to the previous level (bronze I back to bronze II, etc.) I know you can’t penalize them credits, but at least this might make them think twice before the “bail out” and mess up a game in progress for everyone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
