Very well thought out and quick to play. I have been looking for a good golf game that has a fun solo mode and this is it!" / Bradley W. "What a great bunch of engineering. The stroke is cool. The clubs play true. As does the wind. Only sad part is nobody seems to know it exists. If you play golf in real life you'll enjoy this expressly for the controls and purity of play..." / Drew D. "Best golf game out there! It's the only not to be pay to win trash. No micro transaction, just courses to buy. No chests to unblock. Also more realistic, you can choose the clubs and you don't magically know where it will land, and you also don't play a stupid timing game to play. Just feels like golf. Kudos on making this game." / Tiago S. "Lots of fun and as challenging to play as actual golf. I'm enjoying the simplicity and colors of the polygon graphics..." / Richard D. "Brilliant game, probably the closest game to a simulation. No pay to win aspects and really bright future for mobile golf games" / Daniel D. +++ Get in touch +++ Discord: https://discord.gg/3NHxcTdT5B Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/golfdreamsofficial

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Golf Dreams at 4.8 against Square Golf's 3.5. Golf Dreams also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 48) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Square Golf's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf Dreams sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Square Golf sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Golf Dreams holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Dreams has 28K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Golf Dreams's written reviews are positive against 66% of Square Golf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Golf Dreams ships an update every 6 days, Square Golf fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
