Horrible Game/NO SUPPORT
Don’t do it! Find a different game. If you ever have an issue with this game you never hear from support. If you do it’s ALWAYS your fault. They don’t care about the people who actually spend money on this stupid game. Please, do yourself a favor….FIND A DIFFERENT GAME.
Worst Game Ever
The degree of cheating and manipulating that goes on in this game by EA is unreal! Do not waste your time or your money with this horrible game!
EA Sports ruined this game
This game was absolutely amazing. Simple yet elegant. EA came along and decided we need 5 billion tournaments a day and gave up on everything that made this THE golf game to play.. not just on iPhone but every system. EA sports and their greed will be the demise of this game unfortunately
Ruined game by guess who. E A---
Every time I am on the verge of winning because my opponent has a long bunker shot he gets a perfect wind at his back and sinks it with a non perfect shot. FAVORITISM is alive and well in this game . EA SPORTS RUINED THIS GAME
Lousy game
This game cheats. Don’t play. Waste of time.
You’ve lost another player
This game is so RIGGED I copied the same shot as the person I was playing his was perfect and went into the fairway where as mine goes 30 yards behind him
Fun to play, but…
They hold your rewards hostage unless you play a video ad, and then roughly half the time it still doesn’t give the reward. One of the ads wouldn’t close at all.
Total rigged site
It’s obvious as you play the there is some type of metrics that follows your user, amazing how shots just miss by a little, wind pushes ball way farther than it should, ball just catches the last couple inches of the rough and stops. Truly amazing.some should bring a class action lawsuit against you guys, the hell with this site, playing against minus 38 on 18 hole GFYS guys
I remember why
I remember why I deleted this game now it loses connection and I’m sure you want to blame that on mine end like you always have, but I’m on Wi-Fi and every single other game works just fine. In fact I started a new account and I didn’t even get past the second hole before it lost connection. Good luck and goodbye.
100% real
They started charging me $5.83 every month as soon as they got my car number
Sucks
It goes in the hole in playoffs and goes out of it. Like this game trash like …
100% rigged
Total bs. The game favors the paying players. When I see someone with the gay sink hole celebration, it explains the bs plays. I avoid playing so I don’t get promoted because that’s where the paying players lurk. What a joke. Here’s another secret. Don’t register the account so you can wipe and state fresh if desired. That’s when the game is more fun but it’s still rigged. If you register, you’ll need to contact support to delete and now that EA owns this game, good luck with that. The graphics are always appealing though. Too bad the game sucks.
TRASH
Awful….. u can do everything right and still find a way to mess up
Boring.
Boring no skill game that’s just a cash grab for developer
Game cheats
This app will allow you to win when your new and when you are purchasing! When you stop paying trust it will make you lose continuously! Stay away from this game to keep your sanity
Stops and closes out before teeing off to play hole
FIX YOUR GAME !!!!!
Too Buggy to spend any money on
Once you get pretty good you will start to see serious bugs in the game that make it impossible to deal with.
The support team while they will get back to you most likely it will not be in time to fix whatever issue that you are experiencing.
I have spent quite a few dollars and I am sorry I did.

App crashes
Me and other clan member are experiencing the app crashing on clan world tour. No where else to report these issues in game. Please fix your bugs.
stupid
stupid game stupid concept overall a waste of time and it’s never fun and the games rigged don’t get it skip this one
Tournaments
You guys really gotta give grace to randomly losing signal on a tournament game. In a PvP I understand the time limit but on a tournament give us the hole back
Not Evan fun
This is one of those games if you don’t spend lots of money you don’t do very well.
Could be fun don’t recommend
The game constantly lags out or freezes with good service, and when that happens you lose your coins. Also so games are rigged shots and wind are off also , needs to be remade by someone that knows what they are doing.
This game sucks!
If you are gonna have out of bounds identify what’s OB. The holes with multiple fairways and some
Are OB old a joke!
Take down the stupid GC signs around the green that impact chip’s. So stupid.
Why can I chip in from
Anywhere but there are places on the green where you can’t get the ball to the hole. Seriously. Stupid stuff that should have been fixed along time
Ago. Tired of these bs things and extremely inconsistent wind impact. Do better!!!

Drop Issue
Game suddenly drops connection as hole is being accessed for play. Drop, restart game, enter match, entry to hole drops, must restart to play a single hole, over & over.
SCAM
Game is a SCAM. Will alter shots to force losses if you play against a paying player.
Golf game
I spent years and lots of money on this game. They have zero support in the game sucks. Don’t spend your money.
Trash
Cash grab
Won’t let me play
This game will not let me play it keeps saying connection error
Cash grab piece of rubbish
Trash golf sim…. Nobody wants to endorse this pile of rubbish nonsense.
Game throws my money away repeatedly
Why will it let me load up a ball then freeze when i try to aim causing loss of ball and match makes no sense
Worst App Ever
This app has too many issues to count, that never get fixed. For example, stats. Hole in one’s, alba’s never get added to your total stats, and they don’t care, lie and say it will be corrected next update to no avail. Another example, in 18 hole tournaments when you can’t play a hole, they tell you to reinstall the app, of course that doesn’t fix it, so you can’t play. If you enjoy golf apps, stay away from this one.
Wow really don’t like this
20 seconds into the game and it forces me to admit I’m old and shouldn’t be playing games on my phone that simulate real experiences I can’t have because I’m lonely. 10/10 would take more antidepressants
This game is rigged
On the shoot out I went first and was 12.67 from the pin. My opponent was 14.23 and he got the win and the points. I watched the replay and I surely was closer.
Pay to win
This game used to be fun to play. Do not expect to advance very far. The game required more skill prior to EA purchasing Playdemic. Now it’s pay to win and would probably require at least $100/week to be moderately successful.
Since the acquisition by EA, there have been many changes to the mechanics. The wind guide used to be accurate, and while in lower tours and skill levels it is, in higher tours and expert/master it is not. In Clan World Tour I adjusted for a 7.6 mph wind. I played it safe and adjusted over it, probably closer to 9 or 10 mph. Hit it “perfect.” Somehow the ball landed so far from the mark it was as if I was playing against a 20 mph wind.
The algorithm decides whether you will win or lose before you take your first shot.
I avoid EA games across all platforms now. Too money hungry for me to patronize their company!

This game is rigged
I try so hard to like this game, but it’s just not real. I just played a game and it went to a shootout, almost hit a hole and 1 (.02 yards from the pin) the other “ player “ hits and misses the bullseye completely, and hits a hole and one. The “ player “ hit a completely different shot than me and landed on the opposite side of the green and hit a slope and made it. This is not the first time something like this happened, this time it’s just outrageous and blatant. The player had no profile picture and a generated name, definitely wasn’t real. I Will not be playing this game anymore.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
I hit the ball perfectly, coordinating with the wind, but somehow the ball went into the water. This game is rigged.
Frustrating customer lack of support
I recently played in a tournament and scored a birdie. The scorecard made it a bogie. Two holes later, the same thing happened. I attached screen shots and never once made any abusive or threatening phrases. I mentioned the I felt that the situation was stupid. They closed my case without doing anything to rectify it and told me I’d be blocked from ever contacting support again if I used “offensive, abusive or threatening language in your messages” again. I guess calling a flaw in their game stupid was abusive…or was it offensive. Not sure. It wasn’t threatening. Make sure to be super nice when contacting them or they’ll get offended.
Terrible customer service for a glitchy game
It’s not a terrible game. It’s a very slow moving heart to upgrade your clubs. It glitches all the time and they do not do anything about fixing it. The customer service is a joke.
Stay Away
No support. Shots don’t match your setup. Waste of time.
Golf clash
I’ve been playing this game for a while and it’s a great game to play. However customer support is horrible, I’ve either not been able to play the game at all or not get ads for rewards. This has been going on for the last 28 DAYS!!!!!! Not acceptable customer support.
Definitely not worth spending the money
Definitely not worth spending money on. Golf balls arent what they say wind isn’t what they say it is shootout next to impossible to win you get to a foot the AI or person your playing against get it closer trying to win 100 shootout games is next to impossible.i wouldn’t waste your money
Questionable game play
Not sure that there aren't algorithms that impact where the shot goes. Don't feel as though the shots from the clubs are consistent. One shot might roll forever while another shot stops well short of the spot that was intended based on previous experience and outcomes with said club. If the top spin and/or back spin are the same for two shots and the outcome is drastically different, that is not the player, thats the game. Don't spend a dime to play and the game is what it is. Spend money and you will get robbed. The developers determine who wins on some matches and they manipulate leader boards in tournaments by changing the group you are with when the tournament starts. Also, if you click on a players information, you'll often Time see that the number of games played don't lineup with the club. Steve acquired and often times the hole in ones albatross eagle birdies, and pare don't add up. I have been pitted against players who have several tournament banners have played less rounds than I have and the coins they've won and their outcomes don't match up. This game is definitely rigged to a high degree. It doesn't happen constantly, but it happens enough. To let you know that this game is not on the up and up.
Do not play
Winds are consistently inconsistent. One 6.5 wind spend will play as a 3 while another 6.5 will play as a 9. Very depressing.
Too easy
The game designers made chipping in from off the greens way to easy. I’ve only played about 60 games and half of them have went to draws after someone chips in from 80 ft away. I hit better shots the whole game and on in regulation and get robbed after someone hacks their way to outside the green. This needs to be fixed cause it’s not realistic at all.
Have to spend money to win
Game stinks unless you spending money if you don’t spend money, you get beat by everybody. The game is no fun.
Draw
There should not be a way for the opposition to see what your shot is when there is a draw. It’s basically cheating because they know to under or over power your shot placement. BS.
Pay to play
Too many people buy good balls and on par 5 and 4 they just nuke em
Fake player bots
Company is using fake players sometimes who are machine learning/ai to drain user resources to get you to lose to encourage you to make purchases. I played against “random” players who hit holes in one back to back. Decision making was too fast with perfect swings who were lower rank that had items you can’t get with close to maxed out stats using plain balls. Player stats didn’t make sense either with them having only won 3 games. Also seems like if you play against someone who makes purchases game will tilt in their favor
Glitches
Ever since update, glitches every game. Very disappointing!!!
Not cool.
I was about to hit a lucky shot then it said I could not do it I have waited one month for this ruined my day
