Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lonely One at fortnightly against Golf Odyssey's every 4 months. Lonely One also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). Golf Odyssey's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 83). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
