Love the game, but........
The in app purchases are way too much money. It's absolutely ridiculous. And you need all the purchases constantly to keep up with with the upgrades and tournaments and the listing steaks that will happen inevitably. Other than those three AWFUL things I love this game. Also, one last thing..... You should be able to ALWAYS HAVE a chance at making a putt. Sometimes because the game doesn't have distances measured so you can choose what club to use, if you shoot a approach shot and make it in a larger Green but fail to get really close or just close enough, you are screwed and lose a shot because you are forced to take the putt that won't reach the hole therefore losing a shot to the other player. It would have served me better to miss the green and then chip the shot in the hole or have at least a fighting chance at the hole rather than just putt a meaningless shot. I shouldn't be punished for driving a wonderful shot into the large green only to lose a shot because it's "too far". Please fix this problem it's absolutely annoying it costed me 200k coins in a hand I've already invested over$50 bucks to play within a month that's crazy. I'm about to delete it because of all the costs. Thanks

Was having fun until higher levels
I was enjoying this game for the most part when I started out. The match-ups weren’t too crazy until I started getting into the higher levels. The game claims that it will match me with something of the same skill level, well that’s just bogus. Once I got into the 400s and above it would consistently match me with players that were 50 percent higher levels than me and it only got worse when I started getting close to 1000. I almost never played match when I was the higher level, but somehow everyone I would play was getting lucky that I was such a lower level than they that it would kick me back to the cheaper games where I would have to grind to get back to the more expensive ones. I was constantly having to take on guys that had more experience and better clubs and balls than me and it was very frustrating. I got to the point where I was almost level 1000 with over half a million in coins and I played back to back to back games where the other player was way higher causing me to lose all but 17k in coins and kicking me back to level 700. I’m done with the game, the algorithm for the match-ups is always in favor of the other players and I’m sick of having to grind my way up against players higher ranked than me. If it was a mixture of higher and lower I wouldn’t be so upset, but out of all the games I played I probably played over 90 percent of the players were substantially higher levels than me. That made for a trash gaming experience.

Glitchy software
I’ve played this game for a considerable length of time and one thing has never changed. The connection glitches in this software have always been present and frequent. I’ve been playing long enough that I’ve won hundreds off billions on this game and in the most recent major tournament, a software glitch (disconnection issue) cost me a top 10 finish. Was 3 feet from the pin for eagle when Golf Clash decides to disconnect me, not allowing me to finish the hole, then automatically posting a birdie which caused me to go from 6th place to 19th. Over the past few years of playing, I’ve seen it over and over. Also, the support team always gives the same crap for addressing issues such as this. If you want frustration, this is your game. Which brings me to my second fact. After you play a while and increase your clubs and balls, it is quite evident that many times Golf Clash plays favorites with their GC100 player especially. They choose a winner before the hole starts and then do everything they can to make sure that player wins. Support even told me one time (probably by mistake) that they changed the wind between players to encourage creativity in shot making. It’s really quite evident when you get to certain levels of play the game as many call it, is rigged to the betterment of the players they choose to win. I’ve played a lot and will continue to play, but if you want to enjoy this game, don’t get too deep in it, it will disappoint.

Could be great
I’ve had this game for a long time and I’ve enjoyed it, however there are some key issues I have with it that could cause me and my friends to delete this game if they aren’t resolved. 1. Overall performance/flow: I really loved when they added tournaments and they’re definitely my favorite part of the game. In this week’s tournament I was doing pretty well, then my app froze while loading a hole and caused me to disconnect and take a bogey, costing me at least two shots. Then on my last hole after trying to bounce back, my app lagged and caused me to slice it into the deep rough blocked out by a tree, which cost me at least another shot. 2. There’s no practice feature. I can get into a situation where I have crazy wind or a new club or anything else I’m unfamiliar with and I will have no practice with it. It would make a big difference in my excitement for this game if there was a driving range and/or chipping green feature where I could practice different shots before I take big risks with coins in the game 3. I really like the clan feature they recently added! My friends and I have enjoyed it. I would however like to be able to send some of my coins to members of my clan if they’re in need of some Overall I think this has potential to be a great game, but like I said there are some parts of this game that annoy me enough to consider never playing again. I hope these can be changed soon, because I’ve been getting fed up with it for awhile.

Unfair advantages.
I really enjoy this game a lot. It is fun lots of parts are realistic. Except when people hit out of bounds or hit it in the hazard. They don’t gain a stroke and it still creates an opportunity for them to actually win without the shootout. It happened to me and he hit out of bounds, I wasn’t able to hit the green on my second. He drove on to the green and made his put and I lost the round. AND HE HIT OUT OF BOUNDS. There should be a penalty stroke for that. That’s how golf is. And also, this game can’t give me an even matchup. I have no idea where your matchup system came from because I am rookie two, and I play people who have gold banners and blue banners consistently. Which is why I don’t stand a chance. Their clubs are such high level where they can hit the green in two with ease due to their very high upgraded clubs versus my low level clubs which allows me to not make it in too. The matchmaking is so unfair, and it makes me not want to play when I have to go up against people who have well over 3000 matches where I’ve only had maybe 300. The matchmaking needs to change and if I’m a rookie two it needs to match me with rookie 2 players. I could care less if the search takes longer because it will help make the game more fair and less stressful and annoying. Please fix your matchmaking! I cannot stand how unfair it is. Please I enjoy the game but not when it’s always against people who are three to four tiers ahead of me..... that isn’t FAIR.

Support team won’t respond to my concerns
Golf Clash has adopted the trash concept of Season Passes in an effort to generate revenue similarly to what Fortnite and Call of Duty Modern Warfare did. The difference is that those two did not put notification numbers on items that weren’t available to us, they just showed us the image. Playdemic purposely puts season pass challenge notifications in the same area where the free account weekly and daily challenges are located to keep your attention focused on what paid perks are available IF YOU PAY UP LOLS and to generate a psychological response that forces someone to intentionally feel the “fear of missing out”/FOMO and force our brains to make decisions because we are susceptible to the dopamine-reward response pathway in our brains. This is not okay and playdemic should provide an option to allow these side by side notifications to be turned off that keep prompting us to look at free account challenges next to the paid-for season pass challenges. UPDATE: Playdemic finally responded and said they will use ,y feedback in future updates. Therefore I have changed my rating to reflect that. It will not get a 5 star rating yet however, because it took longer than it probably should have to respond. However, if Playdemic actually adds in a feature to remove said golf pass notifications I’ll amend my rating further upward to a 5 star rating.

Fun game but there’s scams on scams on scams
Pressure and pride. Everything in this game is meant to create pressure for you to buy upgraded balls. I’m not against anybody making money, but on this game, it’s done in a devious manner. With regular clubs and a basic ball, you will find that you almost have enough drive or curve, or roll to be able to make the shots. If you purchase the upgraded balls, you can make the shots. Once you get up to level seven an upgraded ball is almost mandatory. If you are able to compete against somebody with an upgraded ball, which most times you can’t, the shoot out round is structured, so that it is almost impossible for a basic ball to come close to competing. Then there are the multiple in app currencies. Trophies, and gems. If you don’t purchase upgrades to your clubs with gems that you purchase you’ll find yourself not competing with other players quickly. Also, it’s subtle, but it’s worth noting that your win average is publicly. Accessible to your competitors. If you don’t purchase, he will quickly learned that you have a terrible win percentage. Nobody wants to be a terrible player, right? So buy buy buy. It can be a fun game, especially when you play someone and it is an apples to apples competitive match. The only thing I would suggest is go into it. Understanding that they want you to buy stuff and, in the end, remember that it’s just a game.

Frustrating game
It shocks me to see that this game has 4.5 stars. Now the game may or may not be rigged but I will say people who pay for better golf balls definitely have an advantage. Playing someone who has a 30+ yard golf ball makes so much of a difference when you are only able to a normal golf ball. So if you look to have a better winning change be prepared to spend. Of course creators of the game will say the game is free and you are not required to spend money but in reality if you want to be competitive you need to spend money or expect to lose most matches. Tournaments are the worst 12 under in 9 holes is hard enough already but when you have players in you league or rank who shoots 14, 15, 16 under makes you wonder how placement is created. I’ve fluctuated in rank and have seen the same thing. It should be made if you above 13 under you cannot play in that league or rank for tournament or at least if you place in too 10 you cannot play in the league or rank. Because pretty much the same players just keep winning as long as they stay in the league or rank they win. I’ve played so many tournaments that I’ve make 12 under and still didn’t make the cut because other players were under more in the score. All in all really if you look to be disappointed, frustrated, annoyed, angry, or broke this is the perfect game. If losing is fun to you this is the perfect game. But then again this game has a 4.5 star I’m pretty sure that’s a mistake also

Fun but not really fair
I enjoy this game enough to have been playing about 3 years. Graphics are good and the game well designed… mostly. I do have one major complaint… and have since the beginning, but play anyway since I benefit from this design flaw sometimes. The person shooting first is always at a disadvantage because the next player can see the shot and ball placement and how the wind affected the shot. This is especially advantageous in shootouts. If I shoot first in the shootout and land out of bounds, like in the water, then my opponent sees this and just has to dink the ball 1 yard from the tee and they win. Shots should be simultaneous so no one has an advantage. I once asked golf clash what the win percentage is of people shooting second in shootouts and they would not give me the information. They have fixed some issues in the past, but this is big and I don’t understand why they don’t address it. A feature they installed a couple years ago is good… the ability to turn off comments. There used to be many players that would try to distract you from your shots. Golf Clash fixed that problem, so they are aware of issues. Customer support has always been responsive and prompt. If it wasn’t for the poorly designed mechanic of letting the second player see the first player’s shot, I would give 5 stars.

Playdemic does not care about FairPlay like they say!!
I only gave a I only gave1 because becauseit would not allow me to give a zero. They say they care about FairPlay but whatever they use to match they do not take into account skill levels only trophies. They will tell you that you are a better player that someone that has played 10 times you and that experience doesn’t matter at all to them. They will say they had multiple in app purchases but so did I when I have played 4k and they match me against someone playing 12k how can you seriously say that is fair play? That is like the Giants playing my high school football team. But they will cater to you if you can spend tons on money if you can’t don’t make the mistake I did and like this game. This is my reply from support, play at your own risk but here is your warning! I agree with all the pointers and personally feel that matchmaking is lacking in many perspectives. As this is a sensitive topic, the changes may not happen immediately but I believe that slowly they would be changed. I'll make sure to pass your feedback along with my personal notes. Your feedback is important to us because your thoughts help our team identify the flaws present, and we thank you for taking the time out of your day to share it with us. We humbly request your patience, and understanding on this matter since these changes cannot be immediate, and will go through careful reviews.

Gameplay manipulated to get player to spend $$$
After playing this game for several months at a friends request. here's what I discovered. gameplay is fun and easy and courses are very well done. Be warned , this is not a standard pay for play game... after the fourth series of golf courses you will be matched with players who are significantly better than you with much higher gameplay experience and better clubs . you will lose a considerable amount of games and be encouraged to spend money to of course better your golf clubs or buy golf balls to improve your chances . unlike other pay for play games you cannot do that you can only buy chest that give you random opportunities to get the best clubs which seldom pay off . The only way you can accumulate these clubs is to play a considerable amount of games . i've gotten a few customer service reps with a little character and integrity to admit that they don't gauge competition very well . This is where the majority of players fall off and stop using the game. Customer service is useless in this endeavor as they will read scripted responses to you in efforts to get you to continue to play and tell you that it will improve. My best advice is play the first few levels and then move on from this game the moment you need to spend money. I've watched a lot of frustrated players and young people spend money in the hopes of advancing and enjoying further gameplay through better courses unfortunately that is not the case.

It’s pretty, and that’s it.
This game has great graphics. Unfortunately, that’s about it. There is no realism to the game play. Putting is easy, as are chip-ins (anyone that actually golfs knows a lot of practice and skill is required to improve odds, and it’s still not easy!). The matchup system is terrible; it huuuugly favors pay-to-win. First, the matchup system doesn’t compare you on skill, gear or experience, but rather just on trophies (which are easily manipulated). This means you’ll often get paired up with someone with clubs and gear that significantly outclass anything you have, making it impossible, even with perfect shots, to even tie your opponent. As if that wasn’t enough, they’ll sometime also pair you up against recorded games rather than a live opponent. No, they don’t put you against a recorded game where the opponent didn’t do well; usually one that eagles! Support, sadly, is equally bad. However, it seems to be the usual farmed our support that doesn’t actually read about the issue experienced, so it’s to be expected. Value for money is minimal. You’ll burn through a minor investment in an hour of playing, and then get matched up against a series of people that outgear you, or bot games, to conveniently strip away anything you’d gained unless you invest more. On the plus side, as long as you’re paying in, things seem to go well, and the matchups aren’t as bad. It’s a bad pay-to-win scheme covered by nice graphics.

How obvious can it be?????????
Where to start with golf clash? The game is great as a whole, but the overall blatant pay to play is absolutely ridiculous. Where in any ones mind is it fair when your opponent has a wind factor on the ball of 1.6 and when it’s your turn the wind miraculously went up to a 7? Was there a sudden summer thunderstorm that brewed in the 38 seconds it took for your opponent to take his shot? I have read and read reviews on here and they all say the same thing. GET REAL PLAYDEMIC!!!! We all know that the game wasn’t free to build, it costs money to maintain servers and ad updates etc. Regardless the game is “free” to download and “free” to play. Bullsh#t! I have purchased gems that one are absolutely ridiculously priced and played awesome for a few days, wind on my side win streaks, opponents randomly make bad shots. Then it starts, one loss, two losses, three losses. Coin is gone gems are advertised like infomercials on a Sunday! All I ask is level it out, make it fair, it’s a game it is supposed to be enjoyable. It’s not supposed to make you want to write a surreal review telling the makers of golf clash to.........well I will leave that for the rest of the 100,000’s of your customers that feel the same way! I would rate this game a 5 star on the concept of the game. I would give it a .5 on the management and disregard for fair play for in app games. It’s frustrating!!!!!

Patience is the key
I don’t usually write reviews for any game, but I see a lot of complaints here so I thought i would put my two cents in. First off I will point out DO NOT ADVANCE TOO FAST! Take your time and play the first few tours for a while to rank up your clubs and increase your bankroll. There are good enough clubs in the first 4 tours to be able to compete once you get them leveled up. The game certainly has some issues as does any free to play game. Some of the purchases do cost a lot of money, but they are not necessary to play and enjoy the game. If you want to rise to the top of the ranks then paying is definitely a benefit, but if you are a casual player you can have plenty of fun without having to spend money. I am currently playing anywhere from tour 6 to tour 8 without spending money on special balls or anything like that. I admit I have spent a few dollars on the golden shots from time to time but that’s it. Once you advance a little in levels and join a clan, the amount of gems you collect in chests is usually more than enough to purchase decent balls to compete within lower to mid tours. If you want to get past tour 8 or 9 then the competition is tougher and you do need better balls to get the distance and reduce the wind levels, but there is plenty of fun to be had with this game.

Disappointed
This game is generally speaking very great. When first stumbling on this game through a friend I quickly found myself playing all the time. It is fun to level up clubs and play all the different tours and courses. It can be frustrating when you lose multiple in a row or lose all your money and start from scratch but that is the users fault obviously (don’t bet money you’re not willing to lose) anyways, the reason I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because the bugs have been driving me crazy. I have lost games before due to glitches, connection errors stuff like that and I never expected the game to be perfect but at some point it should stop. A connection error that came out of no where when my WiFi was perfectly fine cost me a tournament. I was shooting and it said reconnecting right as I was about to release my shot I held my finger there with the hopes it would let me reconnect and shoot. It did not only not let me shoot but by the time my screen fixed the glitch the other person had already taken his next shot and I was about to run out of time again. Frustrating to say the least. I would love to see the glitches fixed so I could give it 5 stars and golf clash make it up to the users who’ve lost out on things due to glitches and bugs.

Just wait
Yes the game is great in the beginning but if your not willing to spend money to compete don’t play. The game will give these incredible losing streaks, and yes after you play for awhile you can tell the game plays different during these losing streaks. Shot adjustment for holes you have played 100s of times and perfect shots all the sudden land in the rough or trap. The wind adjustment all the sudden don’t work the same, also your opponents will make these incredible long shots in 10 plus winds I don’t understand why they put players on these losing streaks but it’s really frustrating. Also like I said be willing to spend money on power balls and wind reduction balls because your opponents will be you will be shooting against a 12 or 13 mile wind while your opponents use a wind reduction ball and shoot against a 6 to 8 mile wind. What I’ve noticed they will give you 1 or 2 days out of a week that you’ll win a good percentage but the other 4 or 5 days will be like pulling teeth they will take your coin and your trophies and make you spend diamonds I guess all to make you buy more and they will swear on a stack of bibles that the game is fair at all times trust me when I say you will know by the game play when they turn on the lose streak multiplier so be ready spend money and have aggravated fun I guess.

Great game with a few glitches
GC is a really fun game, and I enjoy playing with people all over the world. Lately the game has been having technical problems that can be infuriating. For example, it is difficult to find an opponent. GC claims that problem is with FB, but I don’t log in through FB and still have problem. Even worse is the game “lose connection” in the middle of the game causing you to forfeit the match and the coins you spent to play that match. I have never “lost connection” with any other game played on my phone. This happens even I am using a super stable connect at my university. GC just released an update, and finding opponents is definitely faster. I haven’t had a match disconnect yet either, but I haven’t given it much of test so far. I hope they get this fixed. It’s my favorite game, but if the problems don’t get fixed soon, they lose a lot of players. One other aspect I wish they fix is the algorithm for matching opponents. Playing matches with players who are rated 3x my rating and have better clubs is not really fair. I just lose coins and can’t advance. They to limit the difference in rankings to a small range to make matches more competitive. Still my favorite, and I hope they fix the bugs soon. It’s addictive when it is working well! Go West Mid Ballers clan!

Bad game play
I have played this game for a couple of months now and I have had to contact customer service several times ! That does nothing in regards to the game issue ! There are times where a player and I are using the same ball but yet that player call not only shoot the ball way further or the other player using the same ball can add backspin and I cant or can add topspin and I cant but we are using the same ball and this does not make since! The ball accuracy is way off and customer service want to say it is in app wind ! But yet you do a aerial shot and do a shot track before you take a shot to see where the ball should travel but yet the ball does not travel as you seen on the preshot settings! Once I reached a certain level in tour 6 I feel they just ripped me off because all I did was loose not matter what ! I know you wont always win but there is no way a person should go for 24 hours of non stop loosing each time they try and get on the game! I feel they have ripped me off! Think twice before getting this app because you are not going to enjoy the app in anyway ! And customer service does not do anything when you have a issue with the game besides put the blame on you !

Definitely Rigged
I read in one review that support wrote in a reply to a player that said there is some luck and some skill. I would have to say that it is all luck. I'm well over 500 trophies and have made it well over 600. But what happens many times is you may win about 5 or 6 in a row, then you'll lose about 10-12 in a row. I have other friends who have played this and agree with me that it is rigged. If you are one to take games seriously, then this is not the game for you. This is one where you will pull your hair out in frustration when you thought you hit a perfect shot and it does go in. Would recommend WGT Golf instead. Much better golf game and more realistic. UPDATE: I have come back and really wish this had a zero star rating because that is what this game deserves. Definitely a rigged game. No question about that!! I have seen at least three or more shots that were fixed. It amazes me that when someone plays really good and for some reason can drop one hundred points in a couple of hours. RIGGED!!!!!! Several of my friends also have played this and all have said that it’s rigged. UPDATE AGAIN: Still a lousy, rip off game. Just went to play, tried to hit the ball and every time I did it would switch back to aerial view. I tried several times to hit the ball and it kept doing the same thing until I timed out. Rip-off!!! Don’t waste your time. This was the last straw. This was the last time I am playing. Warning to all: DON’T PLAY!!!!!

Good game, but a waste of time sitting idle
I like the game and the graphics are spot on. I would say it does a pretty good job at both skill and entertainment. There are a few big draw backs and one that prevents me from playing daily. First, the big tournaments are always on the weekend. This is super annoying because I’m busy on the weekends. I don’t have time to play 36 rounds and they never do a 36 hole tournament during the week. So I will always just play the crappy 9 hole tournaments. Then get mad. Second, there is no real club practice driving range or other place to really learn the club. There is a course practice, but that is very time consuming and doesn’t really let you isolate the club you would like to perfect. The second and most annoying is the idle time. A match takes way too long. A game should take 1-2 minutes max. It’s running closing to 4-6 minutes at times. There should be an option to play simultaneously with the other person. When your done you can play again. There is no need to watch them take a shot (especially if they drop off, omg). You can play the round then move on with your life, you could then go back and review the winner, trophy’s, coins, chest, shots appoint took at your leisure. I just can’t sit around and wait forever with this game. I need a faster pace.

Could be better
I was gonna give it 3 maybe 4 stars but the support system gives you zero answers. Matchmaking is terrible, I constantly end up playing people who have thousands of games of experience and have maxed out clubs and the best balls. Some of the courses are also just ridiculous to where an eagle is impossible and a birdie is almost guaranteed. It gets old after a little while, this game doesn’t favor skill and playing things the proper way. Like there’s apparently terrain in some maps that you can’t see unless you zoom in on it that will throw your ball all over the place. On most shots it’s really just getting lucky because you can’t be sure of where the ball is going. Has so much potential but they just make it to where you have to pay more to get a little less. You can’t just buy coins with real money, you have to buy gems to purchase more coins. Coincidentally the biggest gem purse you can buy is just not quite enough to get the biggest coin purse. Also clubs is just pure luck in what you get from a chest and upgrading them is expensive. Also there is no practice option in this game and with the way it works playing matches you and your opponent put up coins and the winner takes it all. One unlucky shot and you’re screwed. The developers seem to not have much interest in making it better for players, just adding more things you can buy

Great game but I want more
I’ve been playing this game for a while now. I put it down for a bit and recently picked it back up and was disappointed to find that not really all that much has changed besides the seasonally themed tournaments and balls that are available as rewards. I still love this game probably more than any other on my phone right now but I want more. More courses. MORE CLUBS with interesting stats or abilities. I’m tired of playing with the same old clubs I had months ago. I think it would be cool to add a whole new tier of clubs above the top tier of clubs available at present. Maybe they could have a single ability or something that makes them unique from the other clubs in the game. They could be rare, maybe earned from difficult achievements, tournament wins, etc. I think you could retain even more players by adding this small level of depth that keeps players grinding for these unique items. It’s something that I feel is missing from this game. Something to grind for above the normal clubs. It would go along with the arcade-y, quirky, fun style of golf clash and add more depth to the game. Other than that, keep doing what you’re doing! I love this game!

Unlike Golf Rival, opponents can be Bots
I’ve sunk thousands of dollars on Golf Clash, I have my own clan, I have over 3,000 balls fancier than a kingmaker, tons of gems and cash but the bloom is off the rose. After winning 1,100 games, I feel these days as though I’m playing a computer bot and not another person. when I got to Master 2 level the competition was appropriately fierce and I got relegated back to Master 1 level where it’s been clearly easier for months. But now after losing 14 games in a row over three straight days to opponents who never made a mistake, and never made a comment, and I’m stuck in the relegating 90’s, I and others I play with now assume Golf Clash puts players against bots at leisure. Tonight I’ll let myself go back to Expert 3 and maybe, if I still get paired with fake great players who make zero mistakes, I’ll find myself dragged back to Pro and Rookie in protest. Golf Rival always puts me with human players, and I infinitely prefer that. Attention Golf Clash: give us the phrase “be nice”. All of us have played against real Clash opponents who use comments in a mean fashion, i.e. laughing hysterically after we miss a shot. We players could then actively flash the ‘be nice’ sign rather than passively turn the chat off. And if you want income from us, stop feeding killer bots to us high rollers, if we stop playing, we stop buying...

Horrible support & Rigged!
I contacted Golf Clash support because of multiple issues that I had found with the game. I was instructed to tag the shots / games as “support” and they would review. Surprise ... Surprise, the communication stopped once I provided what they asked. No response from them in 6 days since providing the actual game replay showing the issues. All of these games showed examples of unfair gameplay such as my opponents ball sticking in a rock cliff, bouncing off of water or magically putting spin on a ball when the player never opened that screen to do it! None of these issues happened before I started dumping money into the game. Advice: Dont get me wrong, I loved playing the game but die to these issue don’t recommend it, do yourself a favor and don’t play but if you do don’t ever pay for anything in this game. If you do you will start loosing every shootout or shots that once would have been good will all of a sudden fly past the hole or end up super short. Once the game forces you to lose enough games it is impossible to ever advance because at an average win rate of 50-55% “average” you will never be able to advance and unlock the next level without paying for gems to get coins. Also once they know that you are a sucker and will pay money the issues will increase. It is completely rigged and has cost me real money and a ton of frustration. I welcome ANYONE from Golf Clash to review what I submitted and contact me!

This game is pay to win and the physics are broken.
There are definitely some things amiss with this game. The pay to win aspect of it is the worst of all. It doesn’t matter how skilled I am, I will get beat every time by someone who can make physically impossible shots because their Kingmaker ball can turn 90 degree corners and roll 50 yards further than anything I can hit. There is no point at all to the upgraded balls and clubs other than for them to make money. Nobody cares about that crap. The people who have them just know how necessary they are to being successful. It would be far better to just use the same clubs for everyone and let skill prevail. The other thing I hate about this game is the consistency of the physics. For example, I’m hitting my driver off the tee with a 6mph tail wind. My cross hair before the wind is just on the edge of the fairway I’m aiming for. With 6mph wind and a little extra power on my tee shot, there’s no way I don’t get beyond that crosshair and onto the fairway, right? Nope. I land extremely short with a perfect shot and roll down into the water. Makes no freaking sense at all. It seems like no matter how well I play my opponent is either absolute garbage or impossibly good. There’s no regular players like me with inconsistencies. This game is clearly a rigged cash grab. Not meant to be fun for players. It’s meant to keep you spending cash. I refuse to do that so I can’t compete. I’ll find a different game. Go to hell developers.

Broken
New: try checking the profile for the players at the top of the global ranks. The game crashes. You can check profiles for other players to see their win % but you can't look at the top ranked players. Rigged game. Hopefully they are breaking some laws here because I'm going to report this... Just like every other game...you can only advance so far before the game turns on you. The matchmaking is broken, I'm literally in the second tier of ability ranks and I get matched up with players way more advanced than me. My clubs are level 2 and 3. Theirs are level 5-6. The chests don't even hold enough coins to play a round...the "visual" graphics are off from the "actual" graphics. You can use gems to unlock new clubs but they charge you 10x the amount of gems if you haven't unlocked the club yet. So the higher tier clubs cost 500 gems if you haven't unlocked them yet but drops down to 50 after you've received the club. It's definitely a pay to win game...if you buy gems you can buy different balls which can be manipulated beyond forward and backspin. The best ball you can buy can turn the ball almost 90 degrees to the side. The game is fun...it is...but the fact that all of these bugs still exist after they've released new content begs to ask the question...why do they still charge players money for ANYTHING until the game functions 100%? I bet that "pay us money" button works 100% of the time doesn't it?

Steals from customers
My dad is retired and disabled. My dad loves this game. It reminds him of when he was able to play golf. He even pays to play with the in app purchases. He does buy gems and takes advantage of special offers. He truly enjoys playing. But this game has doubled charged him multiple times. There have been in app purchases that he didn’t make or didn’t authorize. They charged him and never gave him what the offer was or gems, etc. When he has complained the company they said it’s not their fault it’s ITunes. ITunes says its not eligible for refunds. This app has stolen money from him multiple times. He has used ITunes gift cards and also credit cards. The ITunes cards he is just out of luck with. He can go to the credit cards and get his money back. But honestly, what a hassle. He would have to get new cards and it affects his credit. But the moral of my rant is; This company is a bunch of thieves. It saddens me that this game brought him so much joy and he can’t play it because he can’t afford all the “extra” purchases. I really hope your company can figure out a better way and stop stealing from innocent people. Here’s a tip... maybe you could make it a subscription. Like $9.99 a month or something and you get a new course, a club, some balls, gems, and coins. In these trying times, for those sheltering in place, or my dad who can’t physically play and loves this game you can turn this into a positive.

Thievery
Love the game and been playing for a while but knocking off a star because of the timer on the golden shot. If you pay a dollar to take a shot and win a prize, you should at least have an extended clock not the same one as live play, WHICH YOU DONT PAY FOR. I do not understand this logic - the company isn’t losing anything by extending the clock (or turning it off!). Not to mention the rewards aren’t even good - it’s more about “beating” the shot (so yea, it’s dumb to buy this shot...thats not the point). It’s like if you ordered take out and didn’t pick it up exactly when you were told it would be ready (uh, except, the restaurant making the food would actually lose something if you never showed up or paid). This is seriously outright theft to be honest. I guess I’m the stupid one who pays a dollar for this dumb shot. This should really be changed though...it makes no sense and isn’t fair. Have some ethical standards aye? You get the freaking dollar whether it’s 5 seconds or unlimited clock. WHY DO YOU CARE it doesn’t make it more difficult, it just makes you look bad. (“You” being whoever is ignoring this review at whatever company that develops this game and decides on these unethical and illogical rules.). Alright. Whatever though. Game’s cool.

Solid, but one MAJOR drawback...
Tho game is solid, easy to learn, hard to master. Leveling up clubs and earning coins keeps you coming back. It’s satisfying. With that out of the way, let me address the reason I quit this game for months. If you go on a losing streak, it is almost impossible to get back up to your level that you were playing at. You get absolutely no coins out of chests and you have to play many tours below your real tour just to get you coin count up. And if you lose, you usually have to go another tour down. It’s an endless cycle that takes MONTHS to get out of. Coins cost a lot of gems (unless you do the 3 stake special which is a lifesaver.) and are hard to get at lower tours. Also when you get to higher tours, everyone will have really good equipment and balls. If you don’t want to spend money, you will always have the disadvantage. Speaking of spending money, this gave is the definition of pay to win. It’s almost impossible to compete at the highest tours without spending a decent buck on the deals that they give you giving you balls and coins. If you don’t want to spend any money like me, good luck. This major flaw almost ruins the game if you go on a losing streak. Other than that, gameplay and mechanics are solid. Just hope you have a big wallet or don’t run out of coins.

Not worth the effort
This game is not worth the time or effort. It’s impossible to advance in. Every time you level up, you wind up losing 90% of your games. The matches are rigged to the point where it’s not fun to play anymore. The matchups are unfair as well. Save your energy and find a different golf game to play. For example, I leveled up to pro from the rookie level and have proceeded to lose 17 of 20 matches. The computer players make impossible shots into the hole every time. Since my level up I’ve lost over 1 million coins and over 100 trophies. Avoid this game at all cost. If I could rate this game a 0 or lower I definitely would UPDATE: still unfair game play. This game will turn on you in a blink of an eye. It’ll let you get maybe 1 or 2 wins in a row only to make you 5, 6 or more in a row. It forces you to keep playing to make up what you lose only to lose more. Since my last review my total loss is now 150+ trophies and 1.5 million in coins. Don’t bother with buying coins, leveling up, or upgrading the clubs because it just makes things even worse. Now on top of all that the stability has suffered greatly since the last update. I get kicked out of the app as I’m starting a match if I have played 1 or 2 games already. How this game has a 4 star rating is beyond me. Also don’t bother sending them any feedback about it because they either never respond or give some lame cookie cutter generic answer

Was enjoyable
Update - more $$ from me. I succumbed to the temptation and spent a decent amount of money on this game and was enjoying it. Maybe wining more than I was losing. But boom like a switch I lost over 1.7m coins I’m a matter of days. Right now I win one and lose 6 or 7 in a row. No way to stay at a level - I didn’t ask to be “promoted”. I also don’t get how I can do nothing right but my opponents do nothing wrong. This game gives me anxiety. Even if I win about half the time I could enjoy it but tonight I won one and lost 6 in a row and every opponent was like Gary Player and Tiger Woods combined. Hope you enjoyed my money. Lesson learned. I would give negative stars if Apple let you because playing this game makes me miserable. At first it’s a very enjoyable game. I do agree with other reviews about the lack of penalty for out of bounds and the slightly unrealistic ball action. None of those would truly bother me if there was a way to practice, especially on new courses. I just started playing 6 star hotel and after a single victory I’ve lost every match since - which, since you pay so much to play that course, it’s impossible to get enough coins from bonuses or the lower courses to catch up what I lost. At least give and option to play each course as a practice round as many times as you want. Losing all the coins it took you weeks to save up in 2-3 matches really takes the fun away from this game.

Don’t download this games a scam!
This game is so rigged for you to spend money. First off let me start by saying I’ve been playing this game for 1 year. Played my way to being a pretty good player. Great time playing however, recently I’ve noticed as I’m playing high coin games ($1 million coin games) the game if you loose 3 in a row offers you for example 3 million coins for 1,643 in gems. Let me say that the rewards are crap! They give you very little coin and gems in the chests to even be able to spend that kind of gem. If you don’t have it then you buy, I’ve spent over $300 on this game because I genuinely like it. But when it comes to running low on coin or the A.I wants you to buy it makes you loose and forces your shots to be off. I thought this was a fluke but in the past 3 days I’ve noticed that during a game myself and another player made the same shot, same angle, and because I had that offer to buy coin for gems it made my shot go into the rough. The other players shot went into the fairway. Then I take another shot, hit it perfect, guessed it in the rough. This happened over the course of 3 games. Moral of the story the developers of this game say they promote fair play that’s B.S., check into your system and or make it fair to win without having to spend. Castle clash has been able to do it but your game doesn’t. DONT PLAY NOR DOWNLOAD

Acquisition of Clubs
I’ve been over 2 years at level 6 Apocalypse. I spend more than the average person on this game I’d suppose without seeing numbers. And while I consistently trade in my cards, look to what I can purchase, practically gem all chest times…I have yet to see 200 Apocalypse cards in over 2 years and over 8,000 games. When I see ‘young’ players with perhaps less than 3000 games with a level 6 I get slightly discouraged. Ha. The pursuit towards a level 7 Apocalypse has been a path of disproportionate acquisition of other types to the number of those gained in favor of the apocalypse. One possible change the game could realize to “help” a player towards acquiring the clubs they actually use IMO is when a person purchases, with cold hard cash, a “black Friday deal” with advertised ‘epic’ card chest that not all the cards are random useless cards for that persons play history. I understand it is supposed to be random. But I’ve played long enough to know the option to gem for apocalypse cards has been very disproportionate in favor of other cards. The cards a person receives in chests also don’t do much to move you forward. Some more focused card acquisitions if items are purchased might actually help a person stay more engaged.

Has no idea how to tier up correctly.
This game needs two things: 1. A better Skill based determination tool rather than, “do well in a tournament and get moved up to a different skill tier” how is that supposed to make me better at the game when I go from making the cut and weekend and doing decent, not overly well, made 5 weekends in tourneys best placement was 5th, with best besides that being 34th. How does that indicate I need to move up and besides that, trophies should have something to do with it also. I have never achieved more than 750 trophies yet I’m playing against people, in tourneys, with 1k+ constantly no change. And that’s rookie two star like that makes no sense. 2. If there was something to tell people where there skill level was at. This tourney settings should have more than 3 stars, 5 is appropriate with the amount of people playing the game. Also, if you are stuck in a ranking, you should be able to move down again. FIFA has this implemented to where if you do poorly for x games in a season you get moved back down a tier bracket. So much potential for fun, but clearly selling tourney packs and balls and chests is all you guys are looking for. Exact reason why I won’t put money in. I’d rather give all my money to EA and Madden mobile.

Fun and Addictive
It’s really a great game - lots of creativity with the names of the clubs often tied to animals. I have a love / hate relationship with this game. Half the time I love it and have fun. The other half I get extremely frustrated. The biggest improvement that could be made is to introduce a practice mode where you can practice shots without having to spend game coins and compete. I play for free, but I also WISH they would charge a small, reasonable amount (say $5-$10) for unlimited play which I would probably buy. What often happens to me when I hate the game is I get on these horrible losing streaks where I lose a large percentage of coins, then can’t play except for the cheap beginner holes which are boring after you gain some experience. They do have some options where you can buy game coins, but I think the prices are unreasonable where you would probably have to spend over $100 to get unlimited play of any course you’ve unlocked. I think the game developers’ strategy is to get people hooked on it, then have those people spend money to play, if they play a lot. I’m semi-addicted, and as I said would pay $5-$10 for unlimited play without having to earn coins or wait fir the free coins.

Was fun at first....
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game and leveling up clubs and unlocking new tours, until it got to a point where the game lost its luster. While playing higher tours I noticed the wind in the game was almost never consistent. By this I mean the same wind for the same shot was never the same, even on perfect shots. I just recently uninstalled this game because of what happened on a perfect shot to get in the hole, only to watch it roll right past after seeing “perfect shot” appear on my shot. Another thing that I found frustrating about the game was the chests you open. Almost every chest I received gave me the same cards. I had multiple clubs that I did not want to upgrade that had 100s of cards waiting to be used on them. For my third dislike of the game, there is no way of practicing which would be extremely useful before you go play a tour that could potentially wipe you of your cash, causing you to either wait for a new chest, or pay with gems, or pay with actual money. These are the main reasons I uninstalled this game as it got to a point where it hit a wall and stayed there. And before you think “oh they just didn’t play enough” I was sitting comfortably in the mid 300s in trophies which is ample time to make a judgment call on a game like this.

Beware of this game.
So the reviews are so high for this game because they give you a bonus to write a review, and most of the the reviews before a player learns how awful this game is. Forget game play, yes it's easy to learn, and putting is way too easy. The real issue with this game is far more sinister. You get matched up to play other players in one hole shot outs. Simple enough. However the simulator decides who you should play an. Your clubs also have an accuracy level which ebb and flow according to the simulator. This means if the game thinks you need to loose they can influence the game by pairing you against someone who is destined to win because of their accuracy, or pair you against a player with clubs you can't beat etc. and if the game decides based on your game play and how often you play that you are a sucker who has a high chance to purchase advantages well then you are screwed. You will just get hosed shot after shot and lose match after match in new and mysterious ways. If you contact the support staff they are always helpful and respond. But if you identify to them how the simulator influences the outcome to try and frustrate you to the point of buying something, they will remain silent. This game is a sucker bet for suckers who are willing to pay money to be king of an imaginary world. Good luck if you play, at first you will like this game, then you grow to abhor it and never play again.

Rigged Tournaments
Alright so I am beginning to believe that the tournaments are rigged in some form. The reason I am saying this is because of my position I was given in both tournaments. I have been pushed out of the top 50 once from rank 18 by players with the exact same final score of -16, I played the first tournament early with many hours left and all the players after who scored the same landed higher than me and pushed me out of the cut. Next time I tried what other players did by waiting three hours until the qualifying round was over. I played my holes and finished with a -16 again yet I was still placed at 49 and got pushed out by 3 more players finishing with the same score. Even though about 20 players all had the same score I did not advance. This is frustrating to me and I think it’s unfair that all players who tie do not advance or have a tie breaker event. When players with the same final score can push another player out then something needs to change how tournaments work. Why is it setup like this? Do players that spend money get perks for placement? Does win ratio have something to do with it? Please explain why ranking happens like it does during a tournament. This is a major flaw and in my opinion will drive away players who this happens to. The game is fun but tournaments are crap and the system needs to be revamped.

Started great, now I’m MAD!
First thing, this game is really fun, addictive and competitive! I love the premise of the game, its nice to finally have a golf game that’s free! I really wish there was a way to practice for free, and buying golf balls were cheaper! The amount that you get from winning isn’t enough to buy enough to compete with some of these people on here! It’s ridiculous, and very discouraging!!! I’ve been playing it now for several months, and now 4 times now I am playing fine and it mysteriously loses signal!!🤬 such BS cause I’m on 5G WiFi! So then either I timed out or my shot is screwed!! Then just recently I paid 4.99 for a “special package”, then again 4.99 again for a “special package”, TWICE I HAD TO PAY BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE MADE THE APP CRASH AND I DIDNT GET IT!!! 🤬🤬 So then just now today (February 9th), I paid 3TIMES for the .99 cent, single shot for a trunk. IT TIMED ME OUT TWICE IN 10 SECONDS!!!! Then on the 3rd one, the ball just stops mid roll and I lose!!🤬🤦🏼‍♂️ so now I have just wasted $13 for NOTHING!!!! I’m So close to deleting this app and just finding a new one or buying a PS3 game! So either the Developers need to refund something or give me what I’m owed! UPDATE!! Just As predicted!! I had finally won a couple in a row and built up some coin... welp now i lost 4 in a row and suddenly I cannot seem to hit the ball straight!!! What a BS rip off!! I want either a refund of my money spent or I want the stuff I paid for!!

Ok game but...
It’s an ok golf game, and has potential to be a lot better, there’s just some in game issues and such that I feel could be corrected. 1. Proper rules. No stroke penalty for water hazards??? I myself and others I’ve played against have been unfortunate to hit in the water but don’t receive the stroke penalty that is a basic rule of golf. 2. Being able to choose what club I want. You’re basically stuck with whatever club the game decides you need. Want to power out of the rough with a wood or other club and try to get more power or distance? Too bad. You’re stuck with your crappy “rough wedge”. Players should be able to pick whatever club they want to use, and take the risks of the shot from there. 3. Speaking of clubs... this is where the pay to win feature comes in. If you want to pay outrageous amounts you can buy better clubs for better “skills”, but if you want to be a casual player and earn cards, good luck and be ready for a grind, while you’re waiting for cards to upgrade, pay to play-ers are going to beat you with their bought skills. Making your card grind longer. Either need to be able to open more than one cheat at a time, or have more clubs per chest. Number 3 isn’t that big a deal, but fixing to follow actual rules of golf, and allowing club selection would be huge factors for me to raise rating.

Unfair Competition
I originally rated this a 5 star. It’s a highly addictive game. But the competition model is very poor. I’ve been playing for four days now and am at a Rookie 1 level. In tour play I am constantly matched against Pro or Master level players who have obviously been playing for weeks and months. I almost always end the round in a draw and lose the resulting shootouts far more often than I win. The superior equipment the higher level players earned over months of playing along with their course knowledge gives them an ability to shape shots that I simply can’t match. I just finished my first round of a tournament and the leader at 29 under par after 18 holes is a master level player with 54 million in career earnings. Why was that player even allowed to enter a beginner level tournament? There is no way a true beginner will be able to come close to that score. Which means a beginner has zero chance of winning a beginner tournament. Finally, the putting is ridiculous. After a player gets to Rookie 1 level, it is a 98% chance that they will 1 putt from anywhere. This leads to a lot of draws - and again, the unfair competition model significantly disadvantages the less experienced player. I’ll give 1 star because the game can be a lot of fun. But I get really sick of losing to players at a level I shouldn’t even be paired with

Ad Signs
I have been playing Golf Clash for many years! While the game does have its frustrating moments, I have really enjoyed it….this however is beyond frustrating. There are now an abundance of ad signs on every course. There have always been signs, but they have been out of the way of in bounds play. Now they are not only in bounds but in places that impede play, and would never be on a real course. For instance, right off the greens impeding what would be an easy chip shot. Along the fairways where even if you hit an excellent drive the second shot is easily impeded. I would suggest signs be placed out of bounds so they don’t interfere with in bounds play. I have contacted the developers and have received no response. Update: Jan. 30, 2024 I have reached out several more time since my original review. This issue continues to be frustrating and as of today, no response! These in bound’s advertising signs have cost me a lot…yesterday while playing the Winter Major, ad sign is placed between two sections of Fairway. Hit a beautiful drive which should have easily bounced from the first to the second, and would have if it didn’t ricochet off and ill placed as sign! The next hole ad sign barely off the green, rolled off and under and was unable to make what would have been an easy chip shot. My rating will remain at 1 star until I get a response.

Fun game but frustrating as hell.
I recently started back playing this game after a few years and it is very fun and addicting for sure however....there are a few things that drive me up the wall. 1. The physics are NOT consistent! On shootouts the physics seem to change and I’m not sure why. If it were a shot during the match and I used the exact same amount of power and put up a perfect shot it would land on the green, no problem. However during a shootout it either falls just short or goes careening off into the woods. I’ve lost countless matches due to these flawed physics. 2. I also wish they would slow more time to line up the shot as I’m moving the target once I go to lift my finger it jumps so I have to keep readjusting which often causes me to go off track in situations where I could have easily chipped for an eagle or birdie. If they could just fix these two things I would be so happy. I’ve been playing for years and I am consistently top 5 or 10 in my division when it ends so before anyone says it...it’s not just me not knowing how to play. 3. We need a practice feature and a driving range!! Give users a chance to get better at your game and they will play more. I hope someone reads this and takes my review seriously.

Bad Matchmaking
I really love playing this game… but I find myself getting frustrated because this is a game that bases it’s play solely off of multiplayer play. And because of this you cannot play without being matched up with someone else. This is usually no big deal with skill-based matchmaking but this game does not seem to have that at all. I have just over 1,200 games played and more often than not I get matched up with people that have over 10,000 and sometimes over 20,000 games played. This is a problem because these people have almost fully upgraded clubs that mine hardly stand a chance to. This makes the game very hard to progress and makes it very frustrating.. I like to consider myself a decent player but when I physically can’t hit the ball as far as my competitors it makes it feel like I don’t have much of a chance. This could be easily combatted with a skill-based matchmaking system and/or a single player casual mode. But throughout the multiple years I have had this game, nothing on those fronts seem to happen. Every time I come back to this game it is the same old frustration. But, I love this game and that is why I even care enough to write this review.

Definitely pay to win
Okay, so after playing this game for a decent amount of time and all of my knowledge of this game and how it works this is an honest review. I am currently at 2,211 trophies I’ve played over 4,000 games and I can honestly say if you’re not spending actual money for gems you will be far behind those that do so. When you get to the level I am currently playing at it is almost a necessity to do just to be somewhat competitive with other players (max level clubs, high performance golf balls) with some of these clubs taking upwards of 2,000 cards to upgrade and only getting 20-22 ( currently expert level 2) cards at a time if you are lucky enough to get that card from a chest it literally takes years to get the better clubs to the level of the players clubs that paid to buy the club cards or chests to make the upgrades. This is honestly my main problem with this game other than it forcing me to forfeit a match due to my connection and costing me millions of coins. But understandably playing on a road trip where service could be spotty is a risk. I’ve been playing this game for almost 3 years now it’s still fun but the club upgrading process seriously needs to be addressed. Other than that truly a great game.

Really Enjoy this Game
UPDATED REVIEW: My initial review is below but I’m updating it and knocking it down to2 stars from 5. I am so tired of this app crashing EVERY time I open it. I have updated it and restarted my device but no go. I also am tired of not being able to play the free Golden Shot when it comes available. I have contacted them but they act like it is just me and my connection, which it is NOT. Please fix this app!!! I have been playing this for a while now and I really enjoy it. I am not a golfer in real life so I don’t even try to compare it to that. No one should. It is a simulation, and a beautiful one at that - great graphics. For those reviews that say it is rigged, I beg to differ. Some games go well and others not so much but the fault is with my lack of focus or the other players great ability. My advice, start and stay on the easier courses until you’ve really mastered them. When you move up, watch the other player and rather than pouting from loosing, learn from them. I usually don’t spend real money on iOS games but when a “New Years” ad came up and I was able to get 200,000 coins for $9.99, it made it much more enjoyable. I don’t have to worry about the coins so much any more and can get better clubs and balls. I don’t worry about my status/ranking. I just enjoy the game.

Sadly, Still Rigged
So, they have gotten a lot smarter about how they rig the lose cycle but it’s still there. In fact, they have been called out on it so many times that they block the word “rigged” in any form from the chat feature yet, they don’t block any other words to include profanity. I have a 5G connection and am running Netflix on my tv while trying to play this on my phone. I have a 30Mbs connection, am less than 10ft with direct line of sight to my router which is upgraded, and the game continuously glitches on the swing meter whenever I have too long of a winning streak. Furthermore, I’m only able to earn $800K in game coins before the losing streak begins and takes me almost all the way back to $0 no matter which tours I play in. Honestly, the graphics are great and when it’s fair play, the game is really fun as well as challenging. It really is a shame that they try such underhanded tactics to get you to pay money for the game. There should be other mechanisms in place that would give money spenders a leg up instead of punishing everyone who doesn’t pay. If they were that worried about it, they should just charge for the game outright, but keep it fair. It’s truly sad and it’s why I’ll continue to use this game as a convenient time waster but absolutely refuse to give them any of my hard earned money. Cheaters shouldn’t prosper in my opinion.

Horrible game - pass on this one!!
Third review This game is corrupt. It is geared towards making the only way to advance in the game as spending your money! You can have better clubs (if you spend $5 on an upgrade pack), you can have enough coins to play in tournaments with great prizes (if you spend $10 on coin packs), you can play prize pack holes (if you spend money on chances), and so on and so on........ In fact, to make matters worse, if you do happen to make enough coins to compete in regular game play, you suddenly start loosing coins in ridiculous fashions such as landing far off path with your "perfect" shot, loosing rounds in mysterious ways, etc., etc., etc. If there were a way to give negative stars on the review, I would give it a -10. Update: Gave this game enough chances, deleting it now. It’s addicting - I’ll give it that. The fact that as soon as I get a decent amount of in-game cash, however, I go on these hellacious loosing streaks from being placed against players that far outclass me, glitches in game play that didn’t affect me before, sudden extreme wind that’s near impossible to compensate for, or just plain rigged shots (seemingly) where strategies and “perfect shots” that worked fine before fall apart. This has happened not once, but literally every time I go over, say, 100,000 coins. Deleting with pleasure - I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone.

Rigged
Have played this game for a year. Have spent hundreds on buying all the balls. The tournament star ratings is an absolute joke. They’ll put you in 3 star tournaments and can’t make cut unless you can shoot 14-15 under in expert on a consistent basis. Gave the game the benefit of the doubt and started a new character. Literally played in one tournament then got put in 3 stars where I don’t have the clubs to even have a chance of qualifying while the other people are shooting 29 to 30 under par just to place in the top 5. Look at the players win percentage and that is something that should be taken into consideration before flights are made. Someone that’s only played 200 games with a character shouldn’t be forced to not play tournaments. There’s no fun in this. Everyone knows the tournaments are where you get the clan points. My other chapter has 2,000 games and was 3 star in all formats even though I can’t even qualify for a weekend round in rookie, pro, or expert. Absolutely a joke. Especially when I’ve spent the money and supported the game for so long. I’m done until things actually change. Now they’re trying to do a tournament where everyone uses the same clubs. But all that’s going to do is cater to the people who have the best balls from winning every tournament but using the apps that dial in the wind.

Fun, but definitely rigged(READ THIS)
Like my title says, the game is definitely rigged. I did some research online to confirm my suspicions. Definitely look at your opponents stats every time you play someone. You will almost always see your opponent around the 50% win rate, give or take a few percentage. You will never play someone who has a win % of above 60%. Isn't it a little odd that no one is that good? That literally everyone you play is right around 50%. Other thing I was told to watch: I have used the exact same level club, in the same wind, that my opponent used, lined up just as they did, hit PERFECT SHOT on the bullseye just like they did...my opponent landed near the hole, my ball went sailing passed and in to the rough. I've seen this on several occasions. Now I don't understand algorithms and all that, but if everyone was winning all the time and lost infrequently, what would be the reason to spend money on the game. Then you could keep playing for free. You can't honestly believe the Devs want that. I urge everyone to do your research. Google issues or problems with the game. You'll see the forums and the remarks. Then you'll start seeing what they are talking about in the game. Good luck. Save your money for something else. It's an addicting game I get it. You'll want to keep playing(I spent money to keep playing). Spend your hard earned money more wisely.
