Lot of cheaters
Game glitches out shot to shot and tournaments are a farce. So many cheaters using aim bots etc to score multiple hole in ones. And the ads are unbearable
advertising application
this game requires the user to watch very long ads with very little playing time.
worst ad machine masquerading as a game.

See below
For all of the Karen’s out there that complained about the HF bag. Concrete has new ball made just for you player’s. It’s the blind ball. Attribute is you can’t hit sh•t but you get a crying towel to wipe your worthless eyes
Worst game ever
This game used to be fun… now it’s a job. What to many cheaters that get holes in one on par 5’s so you will never win a tournament and their vs … good like getting wins there to. Save you time there are way better golf games out there.
Waste of time
Obviously reviewed by a bunch of non golfers. You have to hit driver on a 200 yd par 3 and on a 180 yd approach. Don’t believe the good reviews. Not fun to play if you’ve ever actually played.
Great game, Smothered with ads.
I really enjoy playing the game. You can join a clubhouse that comes with great perks. But THE ADS ARE A HEMORRHOID!!! If I quit the game it’s because they kill you with endless ads that you can’t avoid. 3 minute ads. They make gobs of money with in app purchases so these ads are just way too much of a greedy, opportunistic grab for more. It’s a pity and it’s just not right.
Worst programming dev team ever
On several occasions club members can’t even access club chat to know what’s going on. Several times I have finished tournaments in the top 10 only to have that suddenly change when trying to claim my prize. Note the ticker for time allotted for other players to beat my score and affect my rank in the tournament had expired and showed I had finished in the top 10. Customer support absolutely sucks for an absolutely horrible dev team. There are constant errors and crashes with no resolve from customer support. I have been playing this game for 5 yrs and it has consistently gotten worse. The only reason I even continue to play is because of my club. Concrete sucks!
Too many ads. And they’re long
Update to original review. I messaged them through the app regarding long ads. They acted like they don’t have a clue and shouldn’t be longer than 30 seconds or so but their ads are 1.5 minutes to 3 minute plus ads to do anything in game. Since messaging, my ads have gotten worse. Thanks guys for making me want to scream when I try to play. Used to be fun. Now they’ve gotten too greedy
Too many ads to do anything and some are sooooo long. You spend more time watching ads than playing and in order to upgrade you need to watch ads for gold and coins or you have to payyyyy Shorten the ads!!! Quit being greedy
Ever since I posted this review ads have become longer for me. So ridiculous to have to continuously watch ads that are up to 2 to 3 minutes to continue playing

Very little game play
Not very polished. Very little time to actually play the golf simulator. Very slow with lots of wasted time instead of playing. Kept hoping it would get better. Deleted after 45 minutes.
Not Fair
1. You can play this game with a fancy ball and your opponent can still shoot TWICE as far as you. How is that possible? 2. You can hit the ball perfectly dead center, and then the ball will bounce way off to the left or the right off the fairway. 3. If you shoot a ball directly onto the green, it can bounce comically so far off that green that no real golf ball in history would do that.
I really wanted to like this game but the more you play, the more unnerving it becomes. Instead, I rank Golf Clash, Golf Rival, and Golf Battle infinitely higher than this game. And don’t forget there are no shootouts in this game so you can easily be wondering how did I lose when my opponent clearly made worse shots than I did.

P2w
It is to pay to win
Getting bored
I like the fact that that there are no more tie breakers, closest to the pin in the tie breaker now. The ads in the game totally suck! They are long, sometimes won’t even let me back to the game when trying g to get free rewards
Fun game but ads are terrible
Game is fun but the ads are out of control. Some are over 2 minutes long and most are 1 minute or more. TV ads aren’t that long!
Too many ads
Fun game but way too many ads
Ads are ridiculous
Fun game but the constant ads to get anywhere in the game make it almost unbearable
