“Good graphics with good gameplay!”

Nickolas M.
9/16/20

The graphics are pretty good. The greens, fairways and rough play realistic. The effect of wind on the ball seems realistic. Higher and longer shots will be affected more than lower and shorter shots. I feel a considerable weakness of the game is not extending the green grid to chipping and pitching, as well as the contour of the green not being pronounced enough. Also when I buy or rent clubs, the ones I own and those available to higher tiered players are not visible to me, unless I check to have them viewed. I think it's a bit deceitful because it encourages people to switch clubs constantly. Lastly fast play and trash talking should be discouraged by WGT and punishable.

“Rigged BS”

This is such a bogus, bot operated app. I've played this for some time, and I am, without a doubt, getting out of this cluster F. Don't waste your time on this rigged BS.

I'm a long time registered player on WGT. I consistently used the chat feature to try and speed up play, Many many players on this site know it pisses off players when they use the 45 seconds on EVERY SHOT. After complaining too much the site suspended my play.
ALL I CAN SAY IS BUBBYE WGT, YOU JUST LOST A PLAYERS THAT USED TO SPEND LOT$$$$$ ON YOUR SITE.

Boy, Am I stupid believing this app was a fair representation of golf played fairly and not designed for profits designed by WGT and ruled by favorable algorithms which let you win a few and loose more so they profit. No matter how along you play they will suck your $,……. Sounds like the Casino …. The "House" or in the case "WGT" always wins…. Spend no more on this crappy "A" "I" app…

Tip for consumers:
I would advise anyone connecting with Top Golf WGT to avoid any relationship……

Game continuously hangs up! People who spend money gets better hand! If you playing 9 holes or better and game hangs up, you can exit without forfeiting, erase from pages and restart! But if you winning against someone who spent money on game, it will automatically make you lose all credits for the game you was winning ON THE LAST HOLE! Already lost untold amounts this way! Simply, if you do not Spend money on this game, just use it as past time, cause you will never win, and they will steal all your credits!FACT. BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR YEARS! Never not been true, and they obviously hold grudges against those that speak truth!

I've been playing this game for a very, very long time. I've probably dumped $600 or $700 hundred dollars into clubs and balls, assuming it would make me better but it won't. They change the algorithms of putting almost daily and it seems like they choose who wins and who looses. If you even through 7 holes and you make a bad approach shot, trust me…. The other guy will stick it to within birdie range.
Bite me WGT…. You not getting any more of my money

I have complained on a number of subjects. Crashing, frozen play, false wind indicators...
They do respond to a comment, but nothing changes.
Updates seem to be random. Updates can change the whole feel of the game, including how your clubs perform after the update in comparison to prior.
Wind... they should eliminate the wind element altogether. I factor wind into my shot. Mostly I lose rounds, because the wind is either not there, too strong or from the opposite direction indicated.

It's aggravating to spend money on new balls/ quality name brands, and then see the new balls go right into the water hazard immediately after purchasing. The wardrobe choices are for the most part, ugly as hell, and you cannot switch cloths items to suit yourself even though you are spending actual $$ real money to buy, clubs clothing and balls. YES I think everyone understands that the platform has to be supported somehow, its free to download and play many of the course with very good graphics.

I'm a lvl 76 Master 68 avg, haven't spent a dime and never will. I have every club I want just by watching videos. The game is challenging but not unfair, if it were easy it wouldn't be fun.

Course graphics are nice. Competing is quite a bit off. You would think you would be matched up with players at your level. Opponents are widely mixed and if your a beginner in the game you will lose frequently to higher level assigned Opponents. This caused me to lose interest in the game. You have to pay to have competing equipment which is rediculous. Not worth the trouble!

Game is very frustrating! Freezes all the time and penalizes you for it! Very inconsistent! Tried buying better equipment and the game took my $ but didn't get what I bought. Great when it's working but that doesn't happen very often. To bad!

They tell you what you get w/purchase but don't deliver. They make it easy to get subscription but jump through hoops to cancel. $17.99 subscription was a scam. Suppose to get double XP, one free scratch off every day, pass every 4 hours. Not true don't fall for the subscriptions. Save your money!

Tip for consumers:
Don’t purchase subscriptions from WTG golf

These people are idiots! I fave several people around the world that I play nightly but now I can't! Do not waste you time and money because there is no support!

They have been banning many top players from their game for False Accusations from other clubs and claiming it's because players have broke T&Cs which is false. Upon emailing them, the customer service people decline to help or ever answer another email. Don't waste your time or money on the game.

Ive been playing at least 7 or 8 yrs. And I've never had any of that stuff y'all are writing about happen. I'm not one of 'em, but you are playing against guys that put a lot, a lot of work into that game because they can. And they do. Keep improving, keep coming back and maybe one day you can beat 'em! The other $#*! y'all gripe about is just whining.!

I have been play amateur golf for a very long time, and this game has got some really bad inconsistency of play. Examples: Green slope will be in one direction, yet the ball will curve off in the other direction even when hit squarely. Select a shot and it goes way long, and wrong direction. Change clubs two or three times, aim where ever you want, and the ball will still stop within a foot of the first attempt. Ball curving INTO a 21MPH cross wind?

What is really frustrating is the inconsistency. I tried selecting a single course to practice on and get comfortable with the swing timing, contours, speed, etc and the course dynamics are wildly unpredictable and inconsistent. I would not recommend this game.

You are a better golfer IF you purchase there products, if not your not that good. Also hacks and amateurs beat you constantly. When you play a hack or amateur all of a sudden you can't drive, you can't chip and you can't putt. The other thing I've noticed is when a opponent plays bad, you play bad too. Every round is geared for a tie and a play-off.

Its a great fun game. Would be a little better if they were prepared for the greater number of players obviously going to be online in this current situation. Terrible planning. Think ahead, and prepare. Only makes you more money.

Most negative reviews are from people who lost a match or 2 in the game. For real reviews you need to look-up the game on Apple App store or Google Play.
There is no other golf game on web or mobile that allows you to play on real golf courses. The game play and even the equipment in the game is designed to mimic real golf.
And as in real life golf, better equipment gets better results (which is not to say that someone with the best equipment can actually outperform someone with higher skill.!)

The Apple App Store rating speaks for quality of the game -https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/golf-mobile/id*******?mt=8 ( Over more than 17,000 5 star ratings!) Don't let a bunch of sore losers spoil the fun for you.

Take the incredibly small number of positive reviews as YOUR warning to avoid this rip-off / (like a drug) addictive / usually malfunctioning game. Everything about this game is designed to get YOUR money into WGT's pocket. I could go into long detailed rant about the scumbags at WGT, but I am done wasting my time on these contemptible greedy POS.

Well to start with you have to buy coins. You then bet your coins against other "golfers" at that point you are gambling. Gambling in the casinos and lottery run by States is always regulated, yet this site along with Poker sites can do as they please! Wake up…. They steal your coins, they answer to no one! CRIMINAL

From mtluck2 the game is okay.
I have spent hundreds on the game. I purchased a membership in November, complained about not getting my benefits in January and still not fixed in March!
My membership is not even showing up?
Play but do not invest money in this game not worth the headaches.
I have been playing on and off for 10 years+

They don't care at all. It's a money grab. They change the games algorithms constantly that you can never master the game. When you bring an issue to WGT's attention their standard response is " we need a picture of the shot" before we can help you. There's no way to do that, such crap.

WGT are a joke. After 2 f@#king years they close my account saying I have multiple accounts, I DO NOT. They answer your email with a standard statement.
6 more emails sent and still no reply. I don't spend money with them so I can only guess that's the reason.
The more you level up the further you go back on the tee, so much so that on some holes it's impossible to reach the fairway from the tee when hitting over rough. You have to spend on better clubs that's can get you that extra distance.
