    It's not a golf game. It's a game where you bring just about anything from point a to point b by setting direction and power. The levels (I would not say: courses) are very creative and it's fun, but it's neither challenging, nor strategic or complicated. It's a nice game to play for a few minutes now and then and I enjoy it and the creativity makes me smile sometimes, so I guess it doesIt's not a golf game.

    A funny little game that feels like a drive down the gaming memory lane. It proudly wears its influences: Katamari Damacy, Loco Roco and WarioWare. So great for short sessions. But over the longer time starts to feel repetitive (especially in DLCs). And some levels will be frustrating to get the crown (doable nonetheless).

    I played it on my iPad and yeah sure there were a lot of cool surprises and cool twists but at no point was I BLOWN AWAY! It's a nice TIME WASTER and nothing more. There's no deep mechanics or anything. It's one of those games that you can just watch people play and it would give the same experience because there's barely any challenge!

    A silly and funny game that surprises us with every hole and makes us smile. Recommended for anyone looking for something different and willing to have fun.

    This is the Bill Bailey of golf games. An insane, surrealist experience that throws so much at the wall - often literally - that a lot of it sticks. It's inclusive, and enjoyable, to the point that anyone in the family can pick it up and play, while still managing to offer up a real challenge in later stages and on the online modes. Fun, funny, replayable, and certifiable. While this may not be everyone's cup of "Tee," no ifs, no putts, this is one you won't fore-get soon.
