Love the game, people complain too much

I’ve been looking for a golf game like this for a while. A simple arcade like game to share with friends that doesn’t take forever to play. Aside from a couple glitches where the ball will stop out of nowhere while rolling, almost like it hit a bump, there isn’t much I would change about this game. I love the added friends section! I think it would be cool to show the friends first attempt and their best attempt for that particular day. That would help with the not so honest friends who mysteriously get consistent hole in ones! As for the back half of my title, people complain too much, I’m talking to the people complaining about shot variability. Yeah it can be wild sometimes but that’s golf. After playing one hole, you learn to take more conservative shots. I still consistently get in the top 10% while taking those less risky shots. All it takes is a little more thought into what order to play the holes and realizing that your ball will land anywhere within the white circle at the end of your shot trajectory. The further the shot, the higher the chance is of it being wild. If you’re looking for a golf game that you can control every single aspect of what the ball does, this might not be the game for you. If you’re looking for a quick golf game to play with your friends, this is definitely it.

Great Game. Just 1 Recommendation.

This game is great and I love how it’s a new course everyday. The only thing I would change would be the ability to replay a course over and over. There have been plenty of times where I’ll play a course, send my score to my friends, then somehow by some miracle the same friend keeps getting “lucky” hole in 1’s in every hole and they end up in the top 1%. Once in awhile is lucky, but everytime? I’m not sure. I think only your first score should count (unless you want to watch an ad for a 2nd attempt) however, if you are someone who just keeps resetting the app everytime you don’t get a score you like, I feel like there should be an indicator in that persons scorecard that it is not a legitimate attempt. Maybe if they attempt a course more than twice they don’t get the “top ___%” icon at the end of their score? Not sure, but just a suggestion! Other than that one minor issue this game is fantastic and my family loves playing and sending our scores to eachother. 10/10.

Love the concept, changes still needed

Love the concept and got a fair number of people playing. Downloaded the newest version with more accuracy (miss the cozy coffee cup icon), doesn’t fix the problems. I dont mind there’s some drift in the shot -IF- I get to have a sense of how. Wind direction flags in other golf games at least inform me how it’ll drift, so I have a chance of compensating, instead of it being a complete and arbitrary surprise each shot. I cant adjust my shot to get more accurate each time. Not fun to be not informed. // This pairs poorly with extreme bounce in your only long distance shot having tremendous bounce on tiny platforms and islands. Other golf games have a topspin/backspin to control bounce, if the goal is to make you land on a smaller/more accurate platform. Everyone ive shared it with complains about endless water shots resetting your position, with little to be done about it. // Give us some sense of how the ball will drift so we have a chance to adjust and plan our shot, and give us a way to control the bounce distance if the intention is to have lots of small platforms but only 3 clubs. I’d have no real complaints after that. Golf is fun for precision and planning, and the -unpredictable- drift and limited bounce control take away from that. Everyone ive shared it with voiced the same problems with it - wanting to get better at controlling their shot but having no ability to improve.

Fun little game, annoying ads

The game itself is pretty fun, one of those games you can play for just a few minutes and not get too invested. You get a course with 5 holes which you can go after in any order, going directly from one to the next. Challenges include way too much water and your ball getting stuck under trees. It runs a little ranking with your friends for each day's course. There is no way to play multiplayer with your friends, only random matches, so that's something that could be improved. The ads in this app are really, really obnoxious, and that has cost it a star. They're so bad, it should really be two. Everything you do involves watching one of those really loud ads you can't skip for a long time and then sends you to the App Store without permission which is gross. The recent update that added tour challenges has cost it a star because it took something fun and made it frustrating to the point that I've lost interest in playing. I had already played about 80 holes of tour mode, so I'm in much harder courses where it's incredibly hard to get 5 courses in a row, so I guess I get to miss out on all the freebies other people will get on the super easy ones. The game also offers the purchase of "gems" for real money, but they appear to have no use because all of the cosmetics it offers are only available for purchase with "gold" from multiplayer matches.

Huge fan, but the inconsistent game physics is frustrating

Pretty much what the title says. I’ve been addicted to Coffee Golf for weeks, paid to remove ads, and find this game a relaxing way to kill a few minutes throughout the day. However, the inconsistent game physics is *really* annoying. It happens more on some maps than others (I find the desert environment especially egregious), but basically in the game, the ball reacts differently to different surfaces, just like in real life. However, every now and then it just… doesn’t do that. Either the ball will land on the fairway and just NOT roll, or it’ll land on a tree or lily pad and KEEP rolling, even though it’s not supposed to. As you advance through the game to harder levels or more competitive League divisions, those occasional texturing glitches can (and often do) cost you the game, and the lives and/or tokens associated with it. Obviously, I wouldn’t be frustrated by this if I didn’t love the game and play it all the time. But compared to other golf games on the App Store, the surface texturing could definitely use some work. Other than that, it’s a great game and I look forward to seeing it update and improve!

Not a game of skill…

The game is almost perfect, it’s beautiful and simple, controls are great, and I love the once-a-day aspect of it… keeping my streak keeps me coming back every day, and having feedback on what percentile my score is is nice (although you could just tell us what percentile we got, not just “top 50%”)… The major flaw is that there appears to be a built in amount of “random error” in each shot… sometimes I take a shot and the ball just goes way right or left! It’s unpredictable and can turn an easy hole into a disaster… as a result, getting a good score involves too much luck, and no amount of skill can overcome it… if there were wind or some sort of timing mechanic to allow the player to control the ball’s direction of travel this would be so much better… worried that it’d be too easy if the player could rely on where the ball will go? It won’t be easy, the holes are plenty challenging… personally, I think it’d be perfect if they just removed the random error and left everything as it is… it’s a really good game that I just can’t play any more because it’s too aggravating to line up a shot and have it hit a tree you were aiming well to the left of…

Super fun but one major issue

I absolutely love the game and enjoy having something to come back to everyday like Wordle is. I even enjoy the competitive factor against friends and the percentile to see how well you do. The new pro tours have greatly improved the longevity of the game and the diversity of maps is such a great addition. However, the game is not perfect. The random error or wind or whatever causes the ball to randomly drift off to the exact spot I was trying to avoid is extremely aggravating. Every time I have a good shot lined up it’ll drift into a tree, the water, or a small bump that launches the ball off somewhere else making it impossible to skillfully line up your shots. If there was a wind feature that you could adjust for it would make the game better but without it you just have to try and shoot extra conservative and miss out on being able to get hole in ones for the most part. Hopefully this will be updated and added upon but even with this flaw the game is still great.

It’s okay, and then it’s not okay

I like the game for the daily round of 5 holes, I actually do it while having coffee in the morning. The Pro Tour seemed like a good idea and I was interested in the idea of playing against others. I’ve come to see that I am playing against bots or AI, not other people. I’ve seen the “opponent” take a shot that bounces wide into water or off the area, but then the ball is on the green somehow. That’s not fair. I follow the golf bot around the course and match them shot for shot. Every time they make amazing shots. I have a hard time believing there are that many live people making those perfect shots. Seems unlikely. On the first level of Pro Tour, the Brew, the bot will mess up sometimes ( maybe it is a real person). But on higher levels like Beans and Mocha, i rarely get a win even if I get every hole in two strokes or less. I paid for coins once and they disappeared quickly on the Mocha tour, so I won’t be spending anymore money on that. If they’re not going to match us with real people who are online, at least program the AI to make a mistake once in a while like a real person.
