    Oh it's bad. Oh so bad. How has this ugly piece of garbage been allowed on the xbox marketplace. I got it for free with gamepass and I still feel ripped off. Oh its just so so so bad.

    Music is nice, visuals are okay, but the hole/level designs are just bad. You can be under par for a fair few number of holes, then BAM you're faced with a hole, which is near impossible to complete under the par limit. And then the next one is worse.....And the one after that is even worse. They give you a par 4 on a hole that takes about six shots to even get near the hole.

    How can a game with last generation graphics and the simplest gameplay ever be so flawed and unfun. My excitement for this game was crushed on the front 9 of the first course I played. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the worst game I've ever played but it is one that i wont be bragging about playing with anyone.

    This game had absolutely fantastic potential with ace mechanics. After my first couple of holes I would have been scoring it an 8 or 9. 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?

    This is utterly terrible! Hole design is terrible, Graphics aren't bad (and the only reason didn't give a 0). Don't waste your time - many other options out there that are much better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is fun but often has random invisible walls, and the gravity wells pull you from far outside their range. Tons of glitches and bugs still.… Expand

    An exercise in tedium. As if the difficult power controls aren't enough, the timing of the game comes off as unfair. You get 2 minutes per hole, and you'll spend most of that waiting for your ball to be brought back in bounds. The par numbers they give are, for the most part, delusional.

    Trash controls that give little to no feedback on shots so you never know how strong you're shots are, games trash

    Fun holes should not be impossible holes. Why do uninspired people work in the games industry? You will spend more imtime installing this crap than actually playing it

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

    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    … Expand

    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.

    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.
