I’ve been playing this game for a long time now, and I must say that I really don’t have any gripes with it. As a matter of fact, if there was one only one suggestion would be that there is a feeling that the courses and characters are becoming outdated. There needs to be a complete huge update with double the courses and double the characters because I’ve unlocked all the character outfits and all the courses and there’s nothing else that I can do at this point other than just compete in the world championships so I would love it even if there was a second version of the game if that’s what they needed to do for them to come out with more characters and more courses not just one here and there (and it’s been awhile since that even happened). Love the game, make a new one or have a huge update to double the courses and characters! Maybe add new third alternate uniforms.

I want to love this game but the controls are driving me nuts. Every time I put my finger on the screen my whole aim point shifts left 10'. Then I adjust and when I pull down to swing the aim point shifts left again. So I try resetting just to have the game think I made a ten foot shot, adding strokes and costing me tournaments. I have tried the 3 tap method but that is just awful. Please fix the controls so I can play this! Also I am beginning to think Apple arcade is just full of broke or lame games nobody wants. The end of my free trial might be the end of Apple arcade for me.

It’s fun to play and has kept me engaged. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is b/c I don’t know what 25% of the crap means and I’m not talking about the info/? button that explains the courses & the symbols next to the characters stats, I get all that. What I don’t know is for example, what is the little kb box (1st try & 2nd try) in upper right hand when you’re playing a course? And when you choose to play a course that has rules (example, the rough is OB), what in the world does it mean when the course has a “Fixed lie” rule? I have googled it and can’t find the answer anywhere. Also, the training course should actually train you on how to make different shots, instead it’s just all the courses, players, holes etc where you just hit the ball around. Sure, a great way to practice but if you can’t seem to figure out how to apply back spin then it’s hard to practice it. In my mind, training mode is a teaching mode and practice mode is where you just go on the course and mindlessly hit the ball. If they’d provide more descriptions on what all the little things mean and a mode that teaches you how to make different shots and so forth, it would be easily a 5 star game.

UPDATE VERSION 1.1.2 - problems in previous version have cleared up. Glad to have a couple new players and levels, as well as the new game mode “World Tournament”. The Tournament is fun for seeing where you rank against other players, but that’s it - there are no rewards or experience points given for one’s final ranking. So, what’s the point of having the tournament if you can’t earn any reward for skill-based play? Also - there are still no new courses to discover - it’s a crime that there are, as yet, no links style courses available on the map, especially in Scotland, the home of golf. ================================ Clap Hanz Golf is - fine. It’s fun, for the short time you can play it on your own. It’s fine, for it’s decent, though not amazing physics. And - it’s finished, as I’ve already gone through all twelve levels and there is nothing left to do but wait for the Advanced golfers and courses I assume are on the way. In the absence of others to play here locally (local multiplayer is available), I’d love to be able to take on other players around the world. So - it’s golf. Sort of. It’s fun. It’s fine. It’s finished?

I’ve played this game for 30 days now and I love it but it is also frustrating. It is so hard to make precise shots. I try to swipe straight up and the game says I went right (not all the time of course). When putting on the green, I can barely tell how much the ball will turn and steer because the dots don’t line up to form a path. Not to mention the flick controls adding to the difficulty. Don’t get me wrong though, I’ve had plenty of successes in this game but I can’t calculate my shots most of the time. It also feels like the wind is lying sometimes. But I have gotten a Hole-in-one and an Albatross so it’s not like the game is impossible.Other than that, the game has that Clap Hanz charm. Decent graphics, fun presentation, and nice character designs. The golfers themselves show lots of personality despite having no voices. There’s also plenty of unlockables to keep you playing when the game is already addictive. I wish I could just buy this game and I wish there were more caddies. Samantha and Thomas are great but I want more, especially Zhang Lu.

I’ve played every “hot shots” game from clap hanz and this one suffers from the same issues as everybody’s golf ps4. Like the ps4 version even if you hit a perfect shot you have randomness determined by your control level. They also removed the 3 shot system which is the biggest mistake. Putting in the touch controls makes perfect shots even harder to hit and I’m not sure why you would want to control the left and right of your putt after you’ve already set it. A lot of confusing design choices. Another big fault of clap hanz is not taking any risks designing maps, they’ll all boring add in some crazy levels for fun. This is one of my favorite video game series please take these as critics and make a better game and release a sequel for ps5/series x.Edit: after playing a ton more I’m changing my review to a 1 star. The control scheme and terrible physics are honestly unacceptable for a developer who have been making the same game for over 20 years. There also isn’t anything to tell you what the touch controls are or tutorials in the menus. They also took away the trick shots or “hot shots” when you would do a backspin and hit the flag pole. This game needs a huge update and needs to be made more like hot shots golf 3/4.
