Not bad

I find it a pleasurable way to unwind. Not perfect, putting can be unfair, but I’m not looking for an arcade level game on my phone.

Does not work with iOS 18.1.1

After installing iOS 18.1.1, Nova Golf loads but freezes. I can select practice and select a course but the start button does nothing.

3/4 of the screen

I love the old game except the putting. Tried the new game lite and thought it was okay but definitely needed full screen to appreciate. Well I bought full version and the game itself is still only 3/4 of the screen. I emailed the team and have not heard back. I’m going to ask for refund. Too bad, I love the no frills golf games. They are hard to come by. This would have been a welcomed version.

Horrible Cash Grab

Absolute joke. Game opens in a small window in the corner of your screen and requires an unbelievable amount of in app purchases. Yeah it’s only $2 but this is a very misleading and disappointing game. Be careful with games by this company. A lot of work needs to be done here and perhaps a good look at their moral compass

Ok, but Needs upgrade

This game isn’t bad for 2 bucks. I bought it and enjoy it except for the putting. The game has some nice courses and decent but dated graphics. What I like is that it is a pure golf game without ridiculous things like special balls, or challenges although you can have up to 4 friends play. I just like to play solo which I can. No account to sign in to but it still keeps your best scores stored locally. My biggest gripe is the putting. It is way too difficult to “read” putts with their grid and moving dots. I have 4 putted some greens! The developers need to update this as well as add some “famous” courses. No updates in 4 years so maybe the developers have abandoned this game

New courses

I just bought several courses. How do I get to them? I don't always wants to play tournaments but just have fun. Why why select PRACTICE I get the same darn course? How do I change things. This is not very intuitive. Need some help please. :)

This game needs a lot of work and fine-tuning on the programming. A lot of times you can barely find the flagstick and when the flag is out the whole is impossible to see. The bar to get the center of the club is ridiculous to operate.

Not The Best!

Although Nova Golf is a good game, it isn't the best. I like being able to add spin to my shot, which is one thing I haven't been able to do. Other then that, I like playing it.

Overall this game is pretty enjoyable. There are frequent long pauses between holes which could be the fault of my device or the app. I have not figured out how to add features like player bonus characteristics or additional courses. Otherwise, the graphics are OK and player control options are good and fun to use. I would recommend this app.

Fair and challenging. I'm addicted. In app purchases work correctly. The developer responds quickly to inquiries. If you're a golf game junkie this game needs to be in your stable.

Latest version broken

Every time I save my progress during practice when I return my first touch on the swing meter sets it at zero power no mater how quickly or lightly I tap it. This adds a stroke to every hole I play. Haven't tried it in career mode but why would I. Please fix ASAP. Thanks.

App Just Crashes

I downloaded the app on my iPhone 4. The game loads to about 91% then crashes. About one in 8 attempts the game screen loads and then crashes. I tried deleting and reloading the app. I also powered on/off my phone…same results. I haven't found anything on the web form to correct this issue. I'm rating the app one star because it appears that I just wasted funds on an app does not function as advertised.

Just OK

Not bad for a phone app but has some issues, some courses every time you take a stroke the ball does not stay consistent. You can have a 6 mpg cross wind, the 1st stroke can be dead on, same cross wind and the 2nd hit the same way goes way off course. Understanding loft and pitch can affect it as well... But still entertaining

Great upgrade to GL Golf!

Awesome graphics, nice step up from GL Golf! Physics seem realistic so far after the first round, though there is a lot of variability in the shot results. Get it while it's on sale!

Issues

The greens are horrible. No green on a real golf course is pitched in such a way that the ball can roll off the putting surface as these do. This makes scoring very difficult. Also, the distinction between the fringe and the green is often imperfect. The AI calls up a putter when it should be a wedge or the AI calls up a wedge and no putter among the club selections. The desert golf course with the narrow fairways is ridiculous. That is tricking up the game when it is not necessary to do so.

When I hit one frm fairway within a foot of the pin, The game will not give me any putters, had to try to Knock it in with a2 iron, witch knocked it off the green. It's hard to make par like this, I paid for this game, I demand satisfaction......

Game review

I like playing the game. A few issues I have is that it should have a tutorial, you should be able to un-click before you make a shot and sometime when your trying to putt it's no consistent on the shot strength meter. I really work to make the adjustments before I putt but at times it will be a poor strike of the ball like a muff or an over strike when it's really not justified.

It is a lot of fun. Decent graphics and game play. Putting however is very difficult and sometimes pin placements on edge of green hills make it impossible to play

Fell in love with game and then the ball started rolling; down the fairway, down the rough, through the sand and oh yeah past the incredibly unfair pin placements. Uninstalling right now.

Couldn't agree more with the other comments! The consistency is horrible! Even when it makes the sound effect of a straight shot the ball has a mind of its own. Also there is a number of greens you can take 30 shots to make it- that's not "realistic" makes a guy wonder if they play their own app before selling it! I tried to stick with it and build up accuracy but no luck!

Best golf game yet for the REAL golfer seeking a round, if only virtually. Doesn't focus on super-realistic graphics, but ultra real flight, spin, bounce, and roll. Can't wait for more courses!
