    Golf With your Friends is a solid example of the phrase "It Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin." Focusing less on flashy visuals, and instead nailing a simple recreation of mini-golf, backed by accessible controls, and plenty of level and mode variety, results in a top gaming option for groups of Switch players.

    At the end of the day, Golf With Your Friends is a fantastic package that is extremely accessible with its large breadth of customization options for both local and online play. It has a lot of content to experience, and while I can’t say I will spend much time with it by myself, I know that it has now become a staple game to pull out at any gathering.

    Golf With Your Friends isn't quite top caliber, and it has a few flaws and glitches, but even at its most basic, it can be a fun and even relaxing time. [Issue #48 – September/October 2020, p. 27]

Local multiplayer is shambolic, with no multi-controller (and as such multi-user) support, glitches ranging from poor physics to round-destroying bugs where the game doesn't update your position in its memory, and more.

    one of the worst games i've played in the last few years!!

    the physics are SO off. you shoot in an 45 degree angle on an even boundary and the ball doesn't only NOT bounce in the same angle, it just bounces 90 degrees in the wrong direction.
    the bar where you can set the power to shoot is completely random. you can do it exact the same way multiple times and it will differ every single time. for example: on the same spot you should uphill with full power. sometimes the ball is too short to reach the edge to the next level & sometimes it's way to much power and it goes out of bounds.
    also if you have to shoot and there is a gap in-between you can land 1 meter after the obstacle and the ball glitches through the floor and you have to start again.

    it is unplayable and a torture. definitely won't recommend this game.

    the music and the level designs are awesome, that's why it gets 2 instead of 0 points
