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

PAR-TEE is the world class destination for your golf simulator. Pair a Garmin Approach R10 or OpenFlight launch monitor, swing your own clubs, and PAR-TEE brings every shot to life: true ball flight, themed courses, hazards, wind, live metrics and scoring, with the fun cranked all the way up. GAME MODES - Driving Range: warm up and dial in your swing with live shot metrics on every ball. - Rounds: Play full courses. Stroke play, complete with 9 or 18 holes. - Closest to the Pin: one swing, one flag, across a full set of elemental-themed courses. - Longest Drive: best total distance wins. - Rings of Fire: thread a run of flaming yardage hoops. - Field Goal: sail the ball through the uprights. - Beach Pong: chip into the cups and clear the rack. - Ice Breaker: knock every penguin off the ice wall into the water in the fewest shots. - Birdie Blast: loft your ball to pick flying ducks out of the sky. SHOT LAB Every swing is tracked, per player. Dig into your shot dispersion and miss tendency, club-by-club distances, impact numbers, and how your game trends over time. Filter by club, mode, and date range to watch your game sharpen. ELEMENTAL WORLDS Every course plays differently. Hit an ice patch and the ball keeps sliding. Land in sand and you are plugging it. Catch a wind gust mid-flight and your line gets rewritten. Grasslands, lava fields, glaciers, rocky canyons, tropical sand islands, rolling desert dunes and more. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Set up a group and take turns hitting on the same simulator. Everyone gets their own ball color, with live scoring and leaderboards across every mode. REAL, LIVE LAUNCH-MONITOR PHYSICS Sim-grade ball flight tuned to real launch-monitor data, so carry, spin, wind, and roll behave like the real thing. Metrics available instantly. ICLOUD & PRIVACY FIRST No account, no sign-in, no ads, no cross-app tracking. Optional anonymous analytics help improve the game and can be turned off any time in Settings. PAR-TEE requires a Garmin Approach R10 or OpenFlight launch monitor (sold separately), with support for other devices coming soon. PAR-TEE is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Garmin or the OpenFlight project. Garmin and Approach are trademarks of Garmin Ltd.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Golf Dreams at Free against PAR's $4.99. Golf Dreams also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). PAR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
