Our Expert Score

87/100

Forest Golf Planner is another hit from the masters of the management sim, Kairosoft. This time, you're tasked with transforming a patch of greenery into a world-class golf resort. If you've played a Kairosoft game before, the addictive 'just five more minutes' loop will be immediately familiar. You aren't just placing holes; you're building clubhouses, restaurants, and gift shops to keep your customers happy and spending money.

The depth comes from the hole design itself. You have to balance difficulty and aesthetic appeal, adding trees, bunkers, and decorations to improve your course's ranking. Watching your pixelated golfers struggle with a tricky water hazard or celebrate a hole-in-one is genuinely charming. My only minor gripe is the somewhat unpredictable AI of the golfers, who sometimes make questionable shots, but it rarely detracts from the overall enjoyment. It’s a cozy, relaxing, and deeply satisfying simulation that perfectly captures the Kairosoft magic.

Solid Kairosoft Mobile Game!
Thu Sep 01 2022 Birb Day

Like most, I am a Kairosoft game fanatic. Some of their games aren’t quite up my alley…while others are unbelievably addicting and super fun. This particular one is pretty high up on my list of Kairosoft game favorites. I enjoy building and creating a variety of “golf course holes”. The decor/themes you unlock are pretty cool, even if you’re not super crazy about golf. The freedom of creativity aspect is a HUGE factor in my rating. This game offers a decent amount of that! If you do/or have ever enjoyed working your way through a fun mini-golf course, you’ll for sure enjoy this. If you’re a super big fan of golf, you’ll definitely enjoy it. If you’re both, and a fan of Kairosoft games in general—don’t hesitate.

Kairosoft at its best, a delight to play!

I’ve been religiously playing Kairosoft games for over a decade at this point, and some of their games have gotten countless hours of play time over multiple play throughs, while others have only gotten a few hours before I moved on. I can firmly say that this game is the former, and I’ve already clocked at least 15 hours in the game, even though I only got it a few days ago. Out of the dozens of Kairosoft games I own, this one is already easily in my top 5, and may possibly crack my top 3. It just feels like it takes all the elements that I love about Kairosoft games and does all of them right, while also adding brand new mechanics, and has such a charm to it. Being able to have full control over the layout of the golf courses that the golfers play on is some of the most freedom I’ve experienced in a Kairosoft game, and seeing the players enjoying or struggling with the holes I’ve built is endlessly satisfying. The whole game feels like it flows very well, always making me want to add one more thing, host one more contest, adjust my design a bit more, train players, manage points, and before I know it another hour has passed from the point I said I’d stop for the day. Only a handful of Kairosoft games have kept me up hours after I should have gone to sleep, but this one has already done it twice in under a week. If you like business building games, golfing, or are just looking for a proper, no ads, no in app purchases, no copy pasted mechanics, full-on real and enjoyable mobile game, you definitely need to pick this one up. Once again Kairosoft has shown that they are the last of a dying breed of proper game developers aiming to make a fun game on mobile that isn’t trying to waste your time or extract money from you. This is absolutely a game worth playing, and Kairosoft is a company worth supporting. Easiest 5/5 stars I’ve given in a long time!

The Game I’ve Been Waiting For
Sat Apr 16 2022 Sreithme

I’ve always followed Kairosoft and played many many of their games even from their first English release of Game Dev, but as an avid golf fan and SimGolf fan, this one knocks it out of the park. Replayability, countless hours, extremely customizable, and exploitable in a good way. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves sim management games.

Fun Game
Tue Mar 01 2022 Andrewjm222

Definitely having more fun than I thought I would have! It’s a fun little game but it has some issues, there are a couple times when I’ve placed my holes and then gone back and tried to move them but either can’t or it screws up and says when they’re 2 tiles apart it’s a par 4 200+ yards. The “Fast” setting should also be unlocked much sooner than after 16 year’s, I’ve played quite a bit and it is taking forever to get there.

Kairosoft has rarely (and by rarely I mean maybe 1 or 2 of their games I have played so far I haven’t enjoyed enough for at least one playthrough) disappointed and this is another classic. This brings some great rpg elements along with course creation mechanics together and they hit it right down the fairway with this game! 18/10 game

One of the best sims you guys have
Mon May 20 2024 churchman11

Its awesome and fun to change up courses and such. It would be cool to change names on here. Also my stats for how much money i am making is not updating. The shops and customers both say 0. Can you guys go through and fix a few of the small bugs. Will 5 star if it gets fixed

Fun but frustrating system
Sun Jul 23 2023 Kilika Stryfe

One of my more favorite Kairosoft games in a while because of how creative you can get with the courses, however the system to satisfy golfers was tough to work with. Eventually I just said “screw it” and started making courses that made me happy, despite the satisfaction ranking for them being low
