Pretty atmospheric game. A bit perplexed about some of the game design choices though.
Why is par for every course set one lower than they should be? I feel like every par 3 should've been a par 4, and every par 4 a par 5. And par 2!?
As for the driving and putting mechanics, they're quite interesting; seeing how distance affects accuracy. Although, I wish you had more control over this, like a meter for driving that allowed you to shoot closer to the center, so some skill was involved here whilst still having a risk of less accuracy. As for putting, the meter moves way too fast! I actually missed tap ins because the meter is only in the 5-10% range for like 2 frames. Otherwise, I like the idea of the meter ramping up speed as it goes up, then slows back down on the return; it keeps the "farther is harder" idea of the driving mechanic, but the starting speed is simply too high.
Lastly, why is water treated as OB instead of a penalty area? (Note: I didn't say "water hazard" as apparently that's not the proper term anymore.) Shouldn't the ball be placed back on land close to the water instead of at the previous lie?
I must add that I did enjoy myself, especially with the player's ability to mess up the course and sink golf carts. I just felt some elements were too random-based.

I've never really found a game I considered relaxing until this one...
The putting bar mechanic is really clever (long putts are harder), and so is the driving mechanic (far shots are less accurate).
happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Did anyone notice the blood near the red house in the top left corner?
take a picture of it
cute and fun! kinda disappointed that I didn't get a reaction for destroying the place though :/
I lovee the golf carts 🚙
This game is awsome!
glad you like it. Great scores too!
