About

Word Golf Ace

Features
Read full description

Word Golf Ace is a perfect blend of that popular five-letter word game (you know the one) and championship golf. Unique features include one free letter on par-4 holes and two free letters on par-3 holes. With no six guess limit, you can take as many swings as you need to find the hidden word. And if you're feeling frustrated by a word that's going to result in a double bogie or worse, you can take a mulligan. You can be a Word Golf ace at 26 courses, including Torrey Pines, St Andrews, Shinnecock Hills, Pebble Beach, and Augusta. With beautiful vector graphics and an advanced scorecard it's easy to imagine yourself on tour draining a 30 foot putt. With famous golf quotes at the end of each round and a challenging set of achievements (including bogie-free round and triple eagle), this app provides heaps of replayability. If you love word games, golf, or both, Word Golf Ace is sure to bring you hours of enjoyment, one word golf swing at a time.
