    Rich in ideas and options, Golf With Your Friends is an excellent multiplayer game with some rough edges here and there.

    Golf With Your Friends is easy to pick up but difficult to master, like all the best party games. As someone who struggles to find putters big enough for me at mini-golf courses and who has a nagging injury, Golf With Your Friends is an excellent alternative to the real thing. With the heavy focus of online multiplayer and the title being available day one on Game Pass, it’s a great way for Team17 and Blacklight Interactive to bring more people together during these pressing times.

    Golf With Your Friends captures the spirit of minigolf – you’re going to have some laughs, frustrations, and at the end of the day, not take it all too seriously.

    Rediscovering the ancient tradition of mini-golf simulations, Golf with your Friends brings plenty of contents between courses and game modes to enjoy with friends.

    An arcade golf game that almost looks like a simulator. It is a pity that the graphic section is not completely good, with little content and a very selective multiplayer experience.

    Golf With Your Friends is good for a laugh, and the more people you can get involved, the more fun you'll have. The concept is fantastic, but the execution is a little lackluster, resulting in a title that just about makes the par.

    Golf With Your Friends presents promising mini-golf fun with its variety of courses and modes but unfortunately, the fun to be had is hampered by overly simplistic core gameplay and some head-scratching glitches.

    This game is not bad in my opinion. This game is good. The music is nice to listen to. The maps are not bad.

    So I really had a good time with “Golf with Friends” it took me back to when I first got my XBOX 360 and a little game I got from the arcadeSo I really had a good time with “Golf with Friends” it took me back to when I first got my XBOX 360 and a little game I got from the arcade store “3D Ultra Mini Golf Adventures” It was one I played over and over and just couldn’t get enough of. This title really took me back to the fun I had on there playing with random people on Xbox live. I kind of struggled to find people playing on the XBOX version which kind of sucks. Tons of people play and stream the PC version though so if your looking for tons of people to play with I might recommend on there instead. I had to search European servers to find people to play on XBOX. On there I was able to get a nice game of 6 going online. It is possible to play with up to 12 though. If you have a lot of friends you play with on LIVE be fun to get some full games going especially since it’s currently on Game Pass. I figure most people will have a blast playing with their friends even if they don’t like golf. Every one loves mini golf, and all the cool obstacles you come across on the courses. let’s talk a little about those.

    There are tons of cool decoration and obstacles through out the many , many levels. Things like Dinosaurs, Knights who chop with axes, to portals. I could go on and on talking about these. There is also many of powerups like anti gravity, jet packs, and ability to bounce on water. This game is going to make you play it over and over to master these courses. If you want to be competitive online your going to play this a ton learning every course. There are so many of them that the replay almost feels limitless. Levels like Space Stations, Deserts, Candy Lands, Museums, Haunted Houses, and so many more. This is one of those games you are going to invest a huge amount of time into, and at $20 your really gonna feel your getting way more of your money’s worth out of this one. Not only are you going to invest time into learning it, but also into unlocking it’s many customization items. You can unlock tons and tons of hats for your ball, ball trails, and even change the color of your ball. Like I said replay galore.

    I know the title is Golf with Friends, but I actually played this a lot alone as well. I had just the same level of enjoyment playing it solo unlocking Achievements and learning courses. You still get a score for the levels so you can try and beat your previous scores while you learn as well. So I could highly recommend this to people who don’t like playing online, and don’t have that competitive edge. It’s really relaxing listening to the quality music that seems to fit each level perfectly while you make your way through 18 holes. I can honestly say this is the most fun I’ve had with a golf game in years. I really hope to find a bunch of people who play this on the regular to enjoy it with. Look forward to mastering the courses, and the shot meter to where I’m dominating people online. Hopefully see some of you guys and gals there.    … Expand

Not sure why, but apparently I really wanted to play a crazy golf game and it does what it says on the tin. It's a fun crazy golf game, that's it. My biggest gripes are some of the ball physics seem waaay off. The amount of time a ball will fly off in the sky with slightest bit of over power and also gauging the actual power is really hard as even 1 out of the 4 bars of power seems to send it flying sometimes. I also think it needs a fly over view type thing of the hole before hand as sometimes it's really awkward to work out where the hole is and yes I know you can press "Y" to have a look, but thats useless 90% of the time.
    But all in all, it's a fun way to waist a few hours with friends (or on your own like me :D).    … Expand

BUT it is utterly ruined by hideous and frustrating bad course and hole design on every course after the first two holes. The initial fun is totally ruined every time? Did noone play test this?… Expand
