Our Expert Score
Golf Star remains the gold standard for realistic golf simulations on mobile. While many games go for a 'mini-golf' or arcade feel, Golf Star tries to replicate the actual sport, and it succeeds brilliantly. The physics engine is remarkably detailed, requiring you to account for wind speed, humidity, and the lie of the ball on different grass types.
The graphics are still some of the best in the genre, with lush courses and smooth animations that make every birdie feel earned. The multiplayer component is where the game really shines, with tournaments that feel high-stakes and a guild system that adds a great social layer. It is a deep, complex game that rewards players who take the time to learn the nuances of every club in their bag.

Tips & Walkthrough
Pay attention to the wind speed and elevation before hitting. Use the 'impact' slider to adjust the power and the 'sweet spot' indicator to ensure a straight shot. On the green, read the grid lines to judge the slope for your putt.

Could be great
Fri Apr 10 2020 Golf 1098538As other have said the game is really inconsistent. You could shoot 10 shots exactly the same with the same conditions and get 10 different results. The scoring in the match play could use some work as well. If you hit a perfect shot on the green within a yard of the hole then make a birdie. The other player could chip in or make a longer put for the same birdie and get a higher point total to beat you. There should be some consideration for the better first shot. Also if you are level 1 you compete against players that are level 100 which you have no chance against. It would be nice to play similar levels in the match play. The tournaments are few and far between and to get money and points to level up you really have to wait several days between. I just wish it was easier to earn money to equip better gear. You have to wait for tournaments and it’s hard to keep an interest just playing goodwill matches. Overall a fun game but would be amazing with a few tweaks.
Disappointing game
Thu Aug 30 2018 Hoze928I really try to like this game it has some great features. BUT the one huge glaring problem is the total inconsistency on the wind factor and how there is now way to gage a 2 mile an hour wind. I can hit the same exact shot on the exact same hole and one shot will go over the green and the next shot will be short. It drives you nuts as soon as you think you have figured out what effect the wind should have such as in real life on the ball you hit it goes nowhere near where it should. I will copy what someone else said, before you even hit your shot the game has already decided where your ball is going to land. Fix this single problem and it’s a 5 Star game as it plays right now after about 4-6 holes you want to turn it off due to the inconsistency. Update again after several game updates you guys can still not figure the wind out 3 mile an hour wind at my back I hit a full club and come up short of the green. Back out of game go back in play the same hole again with a 3 mile an hour wind in my face hit less then full power on same club hit way over green. Can you see how inconsistent this game is and you want people to spend money on it! You will never get a dime of my money, and anyone who spends money on this game it throwing it away.
Latest update ruined the game
Fri Feb 14 2020 Pinky114I’ve been playing this game for 6 years. Up until the latest version update in January it was really fun. Now they’ve ruined it. The winds can now get up to 7 mph and you have to adjust way off the course to compensate. They offer a “watch” to reduce the winds but it’s effect is minimal. Plus you have to spend tons of stars to power it up. Most items you could previously purchase with earned star you now have to buy with real cash. They force you to play match games or you are set back to a beginner no matter how long you’ve played. My scores went from -13 to -6 because of the wind. People are leaving the game in droves. The game is playable until you hit level 50 which doesn’t take long and then the 6 tees and up to 7 mph winds kick in. It’s all a money grab to try to get you to buy consumables and power the mostly ineffective watch. I understand the company needs to make money but financial reports say they make $70k a day from this game. So it’s purely greed what they’ve done. New player? Don’t bother. It will be fun for about a month and then the 600 yard big hitters and cheats will make you lose constantly and feel like a piece of crap
Great game, feedback provided
Fri Jul 10 2020 cori999First, I want to say the concept is awesome and I enjoy playing this game when I have time to kill. I have provided more feedback just to spout ideas for improvement! Positive: -Amazing concept -A lot of fun -Competitive and challenging -A lot to do already Feedback: -The game, as others have mentioned, seems very inconsistent with the result of your swing. -Opponents in campaign mode are IMPOSSIBLE to beat. Playing the second course, my opponents always shoot 8 under par which seems impossible to beat with low level clubs, bags, and covers. -Takes way too long to get good gear -It feels like stats fluctuate too much when changing clubs, bags, and covers out. It would be nice if I could add one club to gaining 5 yards of power and not lose 30% of my control! -Putting feels inconsistent, but that could be because I am not the best at the game -Instead of the bar on the bottom, maybe create an option for swiping to swing or having the option to make the bar vertical or horizontal -The game sporadically has periods of crashing continuously, making it impossible to play Wishful: -It would be nice to have more courses, as well as playing options to get more currency/items because the time to get those items seems elongated for pleasure. -Unlock different swings -Create an outfit Thank you for a great game, I look forward to the improvements, and playing in the future!
Great game without spending your cash!
Thu May 02 2019 Ch4rlieBrownI really enjoy this game. I saw the comments about no consistency. That person needs to understand that each club and each shot has conditions that will change the outcome of the shot. This is not the most realistic game but those tend to be a little annoying and less casually playable. This game has a great balance of realism while still being a video game. You cannot change the direction of the ball in the air, which is one of the features I did not like about Tiger Woods back in the day. There are in app purchases but they don’t really make sense because you can earn the same amount as what you would purchase in a few days. My only suggestion would be if you want to make purchasing easier, make sure that it’s worth it. $10 for 1000 gold? So I can get one outfit? But because the rewards are so good for the daily challenges tournaments and everything else, You really don’t need to make any purchases.
Fantastic Golf Game All Around, but...
Sun Dec 20 2020 Gilmore happieIt is probably my favorite golf game on the App Store and I’ve tried them all! love the campaign mode and the way you are able to customize the characters and stats. Beautiful artwork/graphics as well. My ONLY issue (and I don’t know if this is happening to other people) is that EVERY TIME I open the game, additional data needs to be downloaded. It is the same amount every time and takes up to 2 minutes to start up. It may not seem like a lot, but when you are sitting there and waiting for the additional data to download it makes me want to close out the app and start up another game. If this can be fixed, or if this is only happening to me, please let me know! But again, I love the game and would recommend it to anyone who likes golf games on mobile.
Stuck with it for 3 yrs,loved it,now unplayable!!!
Wed Jan 29 2020 Manicone 54Absolutely loved this game & trust me I have played them all. Now after finally getting to level 109, very close to 110, & money spent you ruined everything. Won’t spend another $ until you remove the hurricane force winds. Not going to spend $ to upgrade a watch to combat the wind! What the heck does a watch have to do with wind control anyway? Not to mention the other changes that took away the things it took so much time, & money, to earn. Please get back to what this game was about, Golfing with people from around the world & keep it fun. Didn’t mind spending a little money once in a while. But until the greed in put on a leash I will spend no more. I’m not the only one who feels this way I know. Most of whom I played with are no longer playing either. So good luck & I’ll be watching & hoping for a change. Because if not I will be deleting soon. I hate it because I REALLY enjoyed this game. I’ll shut up now after this last thought for the developers. “What part of zero( 0 ) do u want ?” Greed will get you every time!
Enjoyable Play
Tue Apr 02 2019 Knife brushBeen playing this game for a few years and it continues to entertain me. I agree with others that the physics don't always make sense with ball travel but so be it. I don't agree with those that say you have to spend $. I'm at level 88 and never spent a dime. Granted those who spend money may advance faster but if I got to the top that quick I would be bored! The challenge is all in getting to the top. I do wish I could pull some ultimate gear more often. Tend to just see club covers in ultimate. Only issue as of late is game crashing after powering up things or using transcendence on items. Otherwise I'll play and play and hopefully updates will stay within my iPad 4's availability!! Not sure playing on my phone would be as fun.
