OK Golf in IOS

Good game!

Even though you don't choose golf clubs, see a player swing or have a timing bar to mash your finger on, it is a very challenging, strategic and fun game of golf! It's harder than it looks! It takes some trial and error to get a grasp on the ball physics and how hard to hit the ball. The courses are nicely laid out and present a good challenge! The courses can be viewed from any angle, close up or zoomed out and you have complete control of the camera. I give it 4 Stars for it's superb minimalistic design and great fun factor! I recommend it to anyone that hates golf games that have that stupid timing bar! This golf game is different, simple, challenging and FUN! KUDOS dev's!!!

Artistic and fun

A lot of love and care obviously went into making this game. Just shows a game does not have to be photorealistic to be beautiful. Look, for example, at the earthrise scene on the moon, or the vertigo-inducing course set in the Paris skyline. The sound effects are particularly well done. The developer is, very simply, an artist. Then there is the “game within the game,” wherein there are many pleasant surprises to be found. My main quibble is the (apparent) lack of any cheats or hints for locating some of these extras that I have been unable to discover despite long, repeated, and persistent efforts. For example, there are two holes at Buchan Bay that I expect I will never be able to play, and not for lack of months of trying to find them.

Best Value Ever

I bought this game almost two years ago and the developers have continued supporting it with free updates ever since. It’s a fantastic game with enough secrets and challenges to keep you coming back. And the multiplayer adds to the replay value. I only hope the developers keep supporting the game. I’d love to see multiplayer expanded with an option to do matches with more than two people and options to have timed matches against online opponents. Would also like a course scrambled which picks nine random holes from all courses for online. Would be happy to pay more for it too.

ATV version is buggy

I play this game exclusively on the Apple TV (4th gen). It can be a challenging game, sometimes too challenging (I'm on Buchanan Bay and spending way too much time trying to get three stars on some holes). The controls add to the challenge and I much prefer using a MFI Controller over the Siri remote for this game. I like the game, but I've had to deduct two stars because of how buggy it is on the ATV. It freezes a fair amount of times during gameplay, forcing you to go back to the home screen to quit the app and then re-open it. It also crashes every single time you click on the achievements/Game Center/trophy icon. I do hope these issues get fixed soon as I do enjoy playing the game.

Outstanding game

This game is well worth the money as it provides over a hundred holes and more additional challenges. The art style fits perfectly and looks stunning. The team is always releasing new levels to play and explore so there’s always something new to come back to. My only gripe is that the levels can sometimes drastically spike in difficulty. I myself have collected every single star and had a blast doing so. Also the secret holes in Buchan bay are devastatingly difficult to get three stars on and should be fixed if possible.

One big problem - updated

Because the developer provided a thoughtful and gracious explanation I’m updating my review to 5 stars. I agree that this game is not a golf simulation but a fun remix based on golf. This is a great game except for two things - no object transparency and shots from the rough are way too short. Tree and other objects visually block shots when they should have enough transparency to allow for accurate shots. Fix that, and I’ll give the game the 5 stars it otherwise deserves. Rough shots are way underpowered compared to drives.

Not optimized for newer iPhones

I’ve been playing this game on my iPhone 7 for years now and have had a lot of fun with it. Its always been an easy to pick up game of golf that can definitely be challenging in the later levels. Was disappointed to see that this game hasn’t been optimized on my new iPhone 12 mini, and presumably any iPhone with a display like it. The game is fully playable, but Some things at the top get cut off by the notch. It also feels very zoomed in. Your are definitely missing out on some horizontal viewing playing like this. I’m guessing it’s just zooming in on the 16:9 aspect ratio the game wants to play at.
