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

A little golf. A lot of spin. Pull back, aim, and let it fly. Then shape the ball in midair, bend it around trouble, or bring it back toward the cup with backspin. Spin Shot Golf combines satisfying touch controls with 16 full-length courses and a career worth chasing. MAKE EVERY SHOT YOUR OWN Take the bold line over the water. Curve around a tough approach. Land beyond the flag and spin it back. Dial in your backspin to bring the ball toward the cup, or add forward spin for extra run. From a sweeping drive to a delicate approach, experiment with the flight and finish. Every hole gives you another chance to chase an eagle or an unforgettable hole-in-one. TWO WAYS TO SWING Start with Slingshot: pull back, aim, and release. Try Pro for a more hands-on challenge: pull back, then swing forward through the ball. Your swing path adds shape to the shot. 16 COURSES. 288 HOLES. Explore alpine lakes at Alpine Springs, tropical islands at Coral Cay, coastal cliffs at Pacific Bluffs, and volcanic fairways at Desert Ember. Take on desert golf at Redstone Canyon, rainforest ravines at Evermist Valley, and traditional links at Old Town Links. Discover 16 distinct courses, each with 18 holes and its own personality. BUILD YOUR CAREER Enter tournaments, earn coins, upgrade your clubs, and work toward bigger events. Complete events to advance through your career, then return to improve your placement and chase the win. Build a bag that suits your game and take on the shots that once felt out of reach. Your journey to becoming legendary starts with the next round. BUILD A BAG THAT FITS YOUR GAME Choose club specializations for distance, precision, backspin, wind control, or recovery from rough and sand. Mix specializations across club categories to build a bag for the shots you love to play. Try Power Drive for distance, Pin Seeker for approach control, or Spin Master for backspin and control on the green. Chase the ultimate upgrade: Legendary clubs combine the best specialist strengths to bring out the full potential of your game. ADD YOUR OWN STYLE Spend earned coins on distinctive golf ball designs, including animated styles. Give your ball a look of its own while keeping the same playing physics. READ THE WIND. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE. A breeze can nudge an approach. A strong crosswind can change your whole plan. Read the conditions, choose your club, and decide whether to play it safe or go for the flag. Championship, Pro, and Legendary tees offer different ways to take on each course. Move back when you want a tougher test and discover a new angle on a familiar hole. CHASE THE LEADERBOARDS Compare your performance with friends on weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards. Chase your longest drive, longest holed shot, and lowest round. WATCH YOUR CAREER TAKE SHAPE Track your scoring average, driving distance and accuracy, greens in regulation, and putts per round. Count your birdies, eagles, holes-in-one, and albatrosses. Review stats by course and chase personal records for your longest drive, longest holed shot, longest putt, and lowest round. FIND YOUR TOUCH Head to the practice facility to work on drives, bunker shots, chipping, and putting. Get a feel for your clubs and see how small changes to power and spin affect the result. Take what you learn back to the course. RELIVE THE SHOT That approach that spins back toward the flag. That long shot that drops straight into the cup. Watch your great moments again with instant replays and enjoy the finish one more time. FREE TO PLAY. OPTIONAL PREMIUM UPGRADE. Play for free with ads. The optional Premium Upgrade removes mandatory ads, doubles coin rewards, and unlocks all courses. Your next great shot is waiting.
