Bug fixes and performance improvements
Golf Strike is a high-octane reimagining of golf that replaces the quiet, slow pace of the traditional sport with a frantic, real-time race. In the 'Strike' mode, you compete against five other players simultaneously. You aren't taking turns; you're all swinging at once, trying to be the first to sink the ball. It’s chaotic, competitive, and incredibly fun.
The controls are standard for the genre—drag back and release—but the speed of the game forces you to make snap decisions about power and wind. The 3D courses are beautifully rendered and feature a variety of shortcuts for those willing to take the risk. With a deep club upgrade system and global tournaments, it offers plenty of reasons to keep coming back. It’s the perfect golf game for people who usually find golf too slow.
Real-time 6-player matches
Classic 1v1 Duel mode
Upgrade and customize golf bags
Beautifully rendered global courses
Drag back and release when the needle is in the center of the target. A 'Perfect' shot not only goes further but also adds a small speed boost to your next hit.
In later courses, wind becomes a major factor. Adjust your landing ring slightly against the wind direction to ensure you stay on the fairway and don't lose time in the rough.
It has traditional elements, but the core 'Strike' mode is a race to the hole.
I’ve played about five games, only three of them actually finished. I’m using an iPad Pro and the game seems to stop abruptly on the second or third hole. I was like 5 strokes ahead going to the third hole — two birdies — boom the game ends with no warning. What the heck! The other golf game these guys wrote used to do the same thing.. It’s a real pity because I was having fun but this is really frustrating. I have played other highly interactive multiplayer games with no issues. Update - per recommendation, did reinstall which helped a little but the third game I played exited prematurely. Note, there was no crash, the game merely returned to the default screen after the second hole. My money for the game was gone as was my win as I was in first place. My connection is very fast and I never have any issues with other apps, so I am not sure why it exits as there is no explanation or fanfare — it just quits the game. It would be nice if you didn’t lose your money as I have never lost a game except the three that exited early and took my entry fee with them.
Update: Dropping to 1 star. I just played seven games with a $10,000 entry, won four of them and placed second in the other three. Connectivity seemed good, so I risked playing a 40,000 coin entry and was booted before finishing the first hole. Developer now owes me well over 240,000 coins, just in entry fees, probably close to half a million if you count what I would have won based on my position at the time of being booted. This isn’t accidental, it’s flat out theft. I’ve been playing for about two months now and love the game, I have spent probably $30 on gems, no issues with the purchases.I have 1 GB fiber Internet Service and a top of the wind Wi-Fi hub, never have any issues with interruptions in service and never get bumped from any of the games I play, except this one. It’s quite clear they disconnect you from games either because their server is completely unreliable or to take your coins, there is no third explanation. At this point, I would say they owe me about 200,000 coins off of disconnects that are all happening at their end. Of course they will come back with some garbage reply saying I’m being disconnected at my end, but that is patently false. It happens with such regularity, that I find myself afraid to play the higher cost courses, as I know I will be disconnected and lose my entry fee. Get it fixed, stop the intentional disconnects, I don’t really care which it is or you can kiss my purchases goodbye.
I have now lost $3,000 gold coins from tournaments I begin playing and randomly get booted from during the first hole. Not the second or third, the first one, every time. This has happened four times in the past week and when I contact customer support they blame it on my internet connection. They refused to give me my gold coins back that I continue losing for no apparent reason because they are not liable for this issue and then blame me for it. Your game is so perfect that it can’t ever mess up? How is it always the customers fault when the best support they can give me is someone who has no clue what happened emails me that they guess it was my internet connection. You’re guessing? No, this is a fun game but the lack of respect given to players is ridiculous. Update: I have now been kicked for no reason about 7 times since and their response is to take a screenshot? How do I take a screenshot of the connecting screen as it kicks me back to main menu? What do you think I’m trying to pull here? I’m asking for my free in-game money back, not the keys to Fort Knox. Your game kicks me out randomly and the only help I get is pointing the blame at me? The way you try to shift blame is sad from such a large corporation.
This is my first ever review. I’m not going to write an essay because I don’t feel it’s needed. I really enjoy the game play. I have spent as much $ on this game as I do buying a new console game. I just want to say that the ‘Connecting error’ mid match has completely turned me away. I lose over 50% of my games due to this error. If I am able to make it through that, my win percentage would be 75%+. I can’t build my coins up because of the error. I am on fiber internet with no spikes. If you devs think it’s on my side, that’s fair. But you lost a $$ paying customer. Hopefully in the future it’s fixed. Read through other reviews, and will see the same feedback.. Tackle the issue so it can be more enjoyable for us players. Thank you!
This game is amazing, however - do not download this game if you like to win and are into stats. Unlike Golf Clash, Golf Strike has no support. When you’re playing Golf Clash and the game crashes, you can write into support and they refund you the coins lost from the game crashing. I was going for my 15th straight win in a row and the game crashed on me and took my money. It then showed in my profile that I had a loss under my belt, which is extremely frustrating since the loss was only because the game crashed. I eventually created another account because I didn’t like having a few losses (all due to game crashing). My new account was going good and today the game crashed on me (AGAIN)! Took all my coins and now it looks like I have yet another loss, which effects everything - all of your percentages are no longer accurate since you get penalized for the game crashing. I may try to play this game in the future and hopefully the team at Golf Strike can be more like Golf Clash and at least refund you your money and make things “FAIR.” Fun game - just hate losing and ESPECIALLY when IT’s NOT MY FAULT!!! 😢
The game itself is fun, but there are a few insanely annoying issues with it: 1.) I keep getting “connecting” message popping up every 2-3 games on my screen even though I have fiber internet and know it’s not my connection. I do not understand why this hasn’t been fixed on mini-clip’s end as it appears to be a server issue that should be able to be patched with an update. 2.) When the above connection error happens, I do NOT get refunded my entry fee, which can be insanely annoying if you’re playing a course that requires a steep fee (I.e. really anything over $100, but primarily $1,000 and more). It’s already so expensive to upgrade your clubs, and now I have to deal with losing money every time mini clip’s server glitches?! 3.) I haven’t found a way to choose the club I want to use for each shot. It will force you to use a particular club, even though it’s very obvious that using your driver shot would be better. I guess I wish the game was a bit more realistic… 4.) There needs to be a better way to get red diamonds other than buying them. I have had my piggy bank ready to be opened for some time now but it requires 800 diamonds and I only have like 450. Why don’t people who score in top 3 get diamonds for winning in addition to coins? Doesn’t make sense since diamonds are obviously an important part of the game. Please fix mini clip! People are not going to spend as much money on this game if it doesn’t work half the time!
Generally, the game is a pretty fun little golf game. I remember Miniclip games from way back when, so no surprise there really. But once again the paradoxically named free to play model causes problems here. The game mechanics feel good, but they’re inconsistent. Executing the exact same shot from the exact same spot will lead to your ball going to different places. F2P problems are significant. The game requires coins as entry fees to tournaments and to pay to upgrade your clubs. The higher levels of tournaments that yield higher coin prizes have higher entry fees. It gives you enough to get started and if you place at least 3/6 you can usually earn back enough to keep playing without spending money for coins. However, on many occasions the game has simply kicked me back to the main screen mid-play, resulting in a loss of the entry fee and no prize. This means in a case where I have bought more coins I’m out real money due to a bug. The cost for a single incident is minimal. A starter pack granted 30k coins for like $6. So .0002 dollars per coin? The entry fee on a Tour 3 tournament is like 1250 coins. I’ve had 8 of these bugs in 24 hours. So that’s $2 worth of coins forfeited. Not a huge sum of money, but losing ANY money because of a silly bug is unacceptable. I’d avoid spending anything until it’s clear the game isn’t going to bug out and eat your money.
Connection Error….Connection Error! More than half of my games are lost because of your Connection Error and because of this I lose all my coins? I’ve lost 100’s of thousands of coins because of this issue not to mention how many lucky shot bonuses I’ve gotten but not awarded because of your stupid connection error! It’s not on my end either as my son plays his Xbox games daily and has never lost connection while playing! I spent a lot of money on this game and will not spend another dime until you fix this issue and if possible give me what I’m owed for your connection issue that you took from me! Don’t download this game!!! Just got done reading other reviews and it’s kind of sickening to see that everyone else is having the same Connection Error but the makers still say it’s on our end and not theirs? Get your head out of your butts and fix this issue or find something else to do because you obviously can’t accept blame for shotty connection issues!
