Full of ads
It’s expected to have ads on a mobile game. These are too much. Every button has a chance to turn into a 2x, popular every 5 minutes, multiple chances to click on ad ridden stuff while playing for whatever 2x bonus is going on at that second. Good premise and I like the gameplay but the ad situation tanks this game greatly.
Not to mention multiple ads required 3+ clicks to get back to the game.

Too many ads
Fun game at first but gets dragged down by ads every 2 minutes. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game.
Ad city
As city like every 30 seconds
Sneaky button swap ads
It’s a good game I just don’t appreciate the way they intentionally trick you into watching reward ads. If you buy something too quick the button will switch to a “watch ad button” making it impossible to notice before it’s too late and you already clicked it and now you’re stuck watching a 2-3 minute ad.
Ads every freaking few minutes
Multi step adds you can’t even get out of this is crazy.
Way too many ads
Super basic game with a ridiculous amount of ads. Literally every 60 seconds. Trash
Almost five stars…nvm
I enjoy idle games and understand this is free. I understand watching ads for power ups, but having them pop up constantly ruins the game for me. I’ll be enjoying watching the gofers and pressing on the carts… AD!
Upgrading or pressing leveling up… AD!! I just watched an ad for a boost. There are too many random ads in the game.
Updated:
After reviewing their replies to people. I have decided to change my rating from 4 to 1. The ads are truly insane.

Would you like some game with your ads?
This game just absolutely blasts you with ads (that are quite long) and it makes the game unplayable without spending money to remove them.
So many Ads
The ads are unbearable. 5 ad breaks within 10 minutes.
Videos not working
Ever since I downloaded this game, I have not been able to use any videos for bonuses or rewards. I thought that purchasing the no ads option, would work, but I still cannot watch any videos for additional bonuses or to double up bonuses. iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Ad every 30 seconds
Maybe every min very annoying. I think at one point I spent more time playing ads then the game itself.
The game is 1 big ad
You can never play the game cause there’s always videos and ads I don’t recommend this game at all. It is fun to break concept but you never get to play it if you’re just watching videos for other games.
Too many ads.
The frequency of ads makes this game unplayable.
One trick pony - long ads, very repetitive, ultimately boring
It’s fun to start with, but as I played it becomes stale. There’s not much interaction, the tasks are repetitive and ultimately boring. The ads are an understandable part of almost any “free” game, but the ads allowed to pop up are long, many over a minute. I get it - longer ads mean more money, but the ads, like the game, are repetitive and long and boring. The developers do have control over the length of the ads, they ought to consider shorter ad time.
*meh* - deleted.
Reply to the developers (6/6/26): Stop cutting and pasting responses to criticisms. Ad revenue is understood. Looping a single 30 second ad 4 times for 2 minutes, or a 1 minute ad 4 times for FOUR MINUTES OF ADS is ridiculous. The response cause my 2 star rating to drop to 1, because I couldn’t leave a zero.

Ads
Too many ads
Awful
I don’t know why people got paid to leave this 4.7 stars but it must’ve been a paid lot or completely AI generated. This game has potential, but is ridiculously bad. The golf cart for the ball return vehicle goes in just about the same path and you’ll get to a point where you can’t even keep enough balls in the hopper to keep the golfer swinging. And you have no way of controlling it so you literally have ground that is completely white with balls and the returner won’t even pick them up. Don’t even waste your time. Gets repetitive long and long in the tooth and this is just a money suck with no depth or plans and improvement.
AVOID. Visual clutter & ad garbage
This has got to be one of the most offensively cluttered games I’ve ever seen. Not only that, but you’re forced to watch ads even without clicking one of the 15 ad promos on the screen. Stay away from this garbage.
Ads, Ads, then Ads
Not a bad concept but you can’t play more than 1 minute without an ad popping up.
No ads but ads
I paid for no ads and I’m not forced to watch ads but I constantly have things popping up and have to close them. Micro transactions. It’s almost as bad as ads. Very disappointing.
Mid
Way to many ads and progression is blocked behind paywall buy manager for more offline money earned or only earn for 2 hours like what bogus and a scam
No ads is misleading
I bought the no ads option but all the advertising rewards still use ads. Not sure if there are pop up ads because I have not seen any. Seeing that the only ads were for rewards, I thought it was a good deal. As far as I can tell, it was a waste of money. Plus, there was no explanation what no ads means. Just a button and apple charges you.
BEWARE THIS IS A SCAM
The most annoying aspect by far are the ads. Necessary for a free game as the review responses will remind you. So you think to yourself…well a few bucks and I don’t have to watch them right? Wrong. You spend the money and it does NOTHING. You still watch ALL the same ads.
Ad Removal Purchase is BS
The Ad removal purchase is a rip off. Don’t even waste your money on it.
Would be a good game but ruined
Way too many ads! Can’t go 60 seconds without watching one. Was really enjoying the game for a few minutes but had to delete because I wasn’t even able to play without watching an absurd about of ads
AD HELL
This game is amazing if you love watching ads! I timed it, and you get an ad every 2 minutes of play time! So fun to watch!
Ad bonuses don’t work, you sit through the ad then no bonus
Paid for no ads but guess what ads ads and more ads
ADS!!
Tons of ads. Not all of it is forced. Mainly when you level up. Sometimes you can upgrade something by +10 by watching ads. Most time if you watch ads to update they don’t apply. So you watch ads for nothing.
Trash
First 5 minutes of the game I was subjected to 2 3 minute popup ads. I do not care to generate revenue for you when your version of game development is forced ads and a garbage, cookie cutter upgrade system.
There are glitches in the game
When you watch the ad for the power up you never get the power up. Paid for no ads and I’m still getting ads.
Do Not Buy The Ad Free Option
I liked the game enough to buy the ads free. There was no difference in playing the game regularly and the paid version of it. What a waste of money.
Cant listen to podcast
I don’t want to play a clicker game if it won’t let me listen to a podcast or music. Fix this and I’ll play it.
Ad placement
Ad’s are placed right where you tap so you open them
Between all the ads is a game
Too many ads.
Offer
Got this game to complete a gem offer for another game, got to the level they asked then the offer was disabled.
9 dollars a week for the premium!?
Listen, I cannot rate a game over 1 star if you’re trying to get me to spend 9 dollars per week on upgraded perks within the first 5 minutes of me playing. That’s disgusting
Ad time over game time
I had previously had this game and got it back and come to realize that now you only get 1 minute of actual game time and 3 minutes of ads! Which is ridicule, why would I even wanna play this game when I’m literally watching ads the whole freaking time. Other than that just do better to actually make the game playable.
App purchase
I purchase the no ad it does not work. It still gives me ad to watch
Greedy scammers
You will get an ad every 30 seconds and they place them strategically so you click on them while playing the game. After dealing with it for awhile I decided to pay for the no more ads thing that every one of these games have. Unfortunately in this game (the only case this has happened) when you pay to get rid of the ads it actually just keeps giving you ads. So unfortunately this game is unplayable due to the crazy amounts of greed the devs have.
Repetitive and shameless
There’s a right way and a wrong way to do idle games, I’d mark this as a wrong way.
I will almost always pay for no ads, I think that’s fair for the developer. Unfortunately this game is a giant ad. Every couple levels you’re blasted with an ask to pay a 7.99/mo subscription for an idle golf game. Or, even daily tasks are tied to spending real life money.
In a delusional attempt to force fun out of the game I bought the “Gold membership” which is just a 1 time purchase. I quickly realized this was a mistake.
I made it to around lvl 70 to unlock the second world. Once I got there, it’s basically the exact same game except you get to restart from nothing.
What an absolute let down and waste of $13. There is no way these high reviews are not bots. This game is almost no redeeming factors.

Forced Ads
For those of you checking this game out, do know now that this game forces ads. You would think you would have the option to watch ads if you want a bonus but even if you try avoiding all the ads, the game will still force you to watch ads to continue playing. Definitely don’t recommend because of that.
Too many ads
Far too many forced ads.
Ads ruin the game
You can’t play the game more than 30 seconds without an ad, then if you close the game and reopen it, it takes a full 10 seconds for the golfers to line up again, then wait another 20 seconds and there’s an ad. I’m not paying $3.99 for an unoriginal played out game in order to not have ads.
So many ads
They want you to pay to stop ads, but there is an ad about every 2.5 minutes. They really need to slow down on the ads.
Misleading Reviews
The game is fun, but there are random ads that pop up as you’re playing and they’re not short. You have to wait 30+ seconds to get back to the game and these ads pop up less than 5 minutes apart.
Not a fan of the forced ads
It’s fun but just don’t like the forced ads. Don’t mind the ads we get to pick to watch.
Bought no ads but it still had ads
Most games if you buy no ads then there is literally no ads but this game still has ads on something’s after purchasing
