I’m not a mobile gamer, let alone a golfer...

To restate the title of my review, let that sink in for a moment... I find most games on an iPhone to be petty, heavily micro-transactional, and aimed for dweebs, to be blunt. Trust me, my New Balance 409s aren’t too tight when I say that I totally dig this game. I can’t stress enough how lackluster golf is to me, and yet here I am, fist pumping after an Eagle on a Par 5. After much effort, I finally unlocked The Majors on the Scottish Classic course.... it’s gusty and slopes galore on not only the fairway, but the greens are a nightmare at first glance. Put some English on it, if you want a tip. I usually play much worse on a first-visit tournament, but there I was at the end of it all, holding a -14 scorecard to win the son of a gun. I’ve got the screenshot to prove it. I have never been so dialed in on a mobile game in my life, other than RuneScape, so redact what I said about dweebs... I might be a dweeb, making such a bold claim. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this game to anyone curious about it. My only request, is that the developers could somehow incorporate a private online party mode, maybe requiring a passcode to get in, so I could match against my friends and what have you. Just a thought, but nonetheless, killer game... BRAVO!

Game is incomplete

What’s the point in winning millions of dollars when everything costs less than $600k? Why is the American Open 100x more difficult than any other course? I went from a -22 in the Maestros on my first attempt to +10 at AO after many restarts. I don’t understand why there’s such a massive difficulty gap if there’s no club upgrades to somehow combat it. It’s legitimately impossible to birdie or even par some holes on there yet the simulated competition wins with a -8 so I can’t help but think RNG plays a role too with how good the competition is on top of the wind conditions. AO should be changed or at the very least the computer shouldn’t be able to finish with such an insane score. If you can’t get to the green on even one par 5 in 2 shots then how are you supposed to get under par at all? Every par 4 plays like a par 5 as it is. Are you only able to win if you somehow hole out every approach shot? Also if you have to choose between hitting the trees or letting the wind carry you off the fairway then you truly have no chance. I say the game is incomplete because this seems more like a first draft because of how unplayable the AO is. It also seems weird to have it in the same category as the others because it’s so wildly different in difficulty. If that’s the only course where you really need a whole new set of clubs created for just it then surely you’ve done something wrong on design.

Excellent, simplified but rich

I don’t think I’ve ever left a review before certainly not for a game. This game is absolutely excellent. Very satisfying. Familiar mechanics compared to other golf games I’ve played but with a cute and unique design. Just the right spot between challenging and relaxing. No bugs or serious lapses in design, seems thoroughly planned out (well, it can be hard to gauge tree height sometimes, but you get used to it ftmp). Not some petty cash grab or cheap app. Goes on and on with more content and gets enjoyably more challenging. I’ll be purchasing the expansion packs but want to unlock all the initial content “the hard way” first. If you don’t like any particularly obnoxious ads you can close the app and it saves where you are in whatever tour you’re on. Awesome, great job. Hope you keep making new content or a sequel some day. So I’ll absolutely be buying the expansions to support you guys and check out your other apps. Thanks for a good quality product.

Good game, needs some fixes

This game is a good game and is at the right level of difficulty for me. Some frustration is needed when playing golf because it keeps you coming back to try and beat your score, however sometimes it gets a little too frustrating and makes me quit to another course. Some changes: 1. Fix the trees, when you’re going over trees to get to the green on various holes, it says you can make it but you end up snagged in the trees. A fix for this would be to tell where the ball would actually go by changing the way the shot preview looks, like if you’re going into a hill. Also, if you’re in the trees there should be a way to go under them to get out, like being able to hit a stinger. 2. Have accurate yardages next to the dots in the shot preview. Yardage markers would make it much easier to control where you want it to go. 3. Add special shots you could hit, like a stinger; low but fast to get out of trees or get a lot of roll out. Also something like a flop shot; very high and somewhat short with a little bit of backspin. Overall at the very least, implement these changes and this would turn into one of the best games of all time.

Great game, a few suggestions/bugs

Let me just start by saying that this a great game and the devs did a great job. I have had this game for about a year and a half, and it continues to deliver (new courses, features, etc.). It’s a great way to pass the time and keeps me wanting more. I also love the courses on the biggest tour are meant to resemble real-life courses. But not everything about this game is perfect. For one, when I hit my ball into the trees, sometimes it won’t give me the option to drop elsewhere. So I have to hit it from there, hitting the tree again, thus ruining my hole and round. Another negative thing about this game is the lack of “specialty” shots. For example, if you need to go over an obstacle, they could add a feature for a flop shot, or a high shot with backspin. I also have an idea to make the game better: a course creator. You could create a sort of sandbox page where players could make their own courses, and maybe share them on a community page if they so choose. Overall, this is an amazing game and I will continue to play this game for a while yet!

IT ERASED ALL MY SCORES 🤢🤮

I have two Game Center accounts. One is my main and one I made to play with my child. I was logged into my “dad” account and beat PPG. I had one other friend on that account and we’d battle high scores on courses. After I beat the entire game I deleted it. When I redownloaded it I was signed in with my main GC account. None of my Dad progress was there. So I switched GC accounts and all of my progress and scores are completely deleted. Just so you understand how devastating this is… winning the American Open is (non-sarcastically) one of the most difficult achievements in all of gaming. Haven’t tried it yet? Google it. I’m not joking. It took me almost half a year of playing the same tournament to finally beat it. All of that is GONE. I’m going to be sick. How did the developers let this happen?? How do I get my scores and progress back? My friend said he can’t see my scores anymore. There’s nothing there. I want justice (and my scores).

Great! 4.5/5

I’d love to give this 5 stars but there are some silly visuals bugs in this game that should eventually be fixed. Sometimes your golfer covers the hole when putting and oh boiiii don’t get me started on the visual bugs with the trees. The distance line should stop or go away if you might hit a tree. I’ve noticed the drop option doesn’t always pop up if you hit in the trees. This is a hard one to grasp, cause you’re kinda forced to drop for a penalty because you physically can’t hit it out of the tress which isn’t at all like real golf. #Stinger If you’re a golf fan you’ll definitely enjoy this game. Its silly and fun and honestly hard to take seriously. Its got a few off quirks such as particular clubs like the 2-iron and 5-wood that go the same distance. If you upgrade clubs its pretty awesome, but it overall messes your club selection. Again the occasional visual bug and of course the trees. Definitely exciting to see where this game goes!

Room for Improvement

This is a great concept. I like the simplicity and gameplay, however, there are some adjustments needed. The number of advertisements for unpaid accounts is excessive. In a 9-hole round, four 30-45 second ads is too much. I get it, but 1-2 ads would be more reasonable. Also, the course design doesn’t match well with only having three levels of clubs. In some instances, the elite clubs can’t even come close to reaching a par 4 in two shots. Also, the view angle limits the ability to see trees that may be in your way. I think the ability to rotate the view would be a huge upgrade. Trees should also be slightly more forgiving. I was excited to play in tournaments, but quickly realized that some users had already hacked the game and were scoring 17-under par in 9 holes, so why bother even playing in them? I couldn’t reach the first par 4 in two with elite clubs and you would need to eagle every hole to match that score, so it’s definitely not feasible to get -17.
