A golf game who looks like programmed in 2000 and costs tons of Dollars - STAY AWAY! Be warned. WGT are thieves... you only can get better by buying overpriced balls and other stuff like driver - wedges a. S. o... its only a lousy programmed flash game who costs more then the actual PGA Tour Golf by EA Sports! I hate this site...! Also winning there is controlled by WGT. You cant win - be sure about it...!
The other reviews say it all, have a read. I've personally stopped wasting time on it. This game is the perfect example why there should be a Board for Games Control for ones which are too addictive and frustrating.
You do not own your player or credits with WGT even if you buy the credits. I played the game for nearly 3 years. Many idiots on the site but the biggest ones are the management at WGT. Yes, I had multiple accounts but that is not listed in their terms and conditions. Other players called me directly to help them learn the game so I began asking for fees for that. I never collected any. WGT disabled all my accounts with no warning. The combined accounts had over 125,000 credits on them. They should have just told me instead of disabling all my accounts. They are thieves and cheats as far as I am concerned. Many countries in the world have little or no access to the earned free credits and have to pay for them. I am glad i never spent any money on the game but I now have 4 fully equipped players at Legend tier and on level 92 that I can no longer play on. I am not interested in starting all over again. It's a real shame that WGT has such terrible business practices.
I was a winner till I got to Legend. Now it seems that I am paired with sharks only. I get a sense that the game is actually controlling play through AI. If you play the non betting games like stroke play or scored versions of the various formats you will use up balls. The only way to be in a fair situation is to form your own league on the down low where everyone uses the same equipment. Do the betting on an honour system if you must bet to have fun.
They take your money for balls and equipment then manipulate the swing meter and steal your balls back. After a while those real expensive clubs you bought are worthless. The only realism is them stealing your cash. A class action law suit would ruin their day.
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.
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.
I have been playing this game on a daily basis for about two weeks. I have not bought any additional credits. So far I have earned enough credits to upgrade my driver and my putter and I have earned a few better quality golf balls. Today I made it to 'professional' ranking. This has taken considerable time and effort, about an hour a day on average and there have been frustrations but no more than would be required to make advances if one was learning how to play real golf. At one point it crossed my mind that perhaps the game was rigged and it was impossible to progress without buying credits but I persevered and I have proved to my own satisfaction that the game is challenging but fair. I can only speak as I find and I am sorry that other people publishing reviews here have not been able to get the same sense of achievement and satisfaction I have gained from persevering with this game. All I can say is, keep trying, if you have the skills and patience, you will succeed.
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'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.

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.
This game of golf is one of the best. But after putting a lot of money into the game it is still pissing me of that the game still keeps disconcerting half way thought a game. My broadband is one of the best so you cant blame that. Can you sort it out please... Many thanks anna1966
Since they changed this to an app program it sucks. I've been asking for a month to fix it and they have not. I have spent over $200 on this program so you would think they would help BUT no. I will be writing everyday until they fix it
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!
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.
Played for 2 years are so. Level 83 / 72.8. Now I am getting varying levels of experience points after competing from zero (very often) to 5% or so and it is becoming very difficult to progress.
I have spent very little money with WGT so I suppose I am meant to suffer.
Graphics good, games can freeze a lot at certain times of the day to a point where you just want to switch off, very frustrating. I will continue but with much less interest than before.
If you want to play be prepared and read the reviews so you are not surprised.
Have played this game for a long time but recently there are many problems.
Time outs causing loss of games when everything freezes.
Unable to access rooms to play games.
Coins deducted from total for no reason.
XP bonus not being applied properly.
I have tried asking them to fix the problems but they still persist, it is ruining what was a decent game.
First off, the courses and graphics are fabulous. Truly! They get a star for that alone.
But here's the thing. I've played plenty of Free-to-Pay/Pay-to-Win games. And they always end in about the same complaints. OP players who pour thousands of dollars into an online game. I get it. But of those games I've played, I have never... I mean NEVER... played one where I had to spend money the first day after completing a tutorial. They don't even give you a beginner's driver! You "rent" it. For 9 holes. Then you can't even play anymore. I'm sorry, but I simply do not want to play this game that badly.
Get real, WGT.
Then I come here, and see all these complaints and, Oh right! It makes perfect sense. Glad I didn't invest money in this, and not too much time either.
I'm a tour pro with 76 avg. I started noticing a ball problem about a month ago. If i have 1 ball left, then buy 3, lose 1 and have 2 left! WGT is stealing balls. This has happened twice. I've had upgraded balls disappear right in the middle of a match... it just goes away. Ive not seen anything in writing indicating that these balls have a useable life.
. Great game to play but very frustrating when players ranked low are able to hit shots that should be impossible to hit. Some scores are so low that in a 9 hole round you would have to eagle at least 3 holes and birdie the rest. I have bought top clubs and there is no way to score that low. Not realistic.
Answer: That is a good question, as for me I have already deleted it from my system. It is only when more of the users realize just how bad a rip-off it is and do the same, will the producers finally realize they cannot treat their fans in this manner. It is so bad now that in the one on one games even if you play a level 1 hack and you are at the pro level the computer is set to beat you giving the impression you need to buy better equipment to win... thats not going to happen...
Answer: Hi john contact me at notonthis1gmail.com
Answer: Yes, but now credits will have to be bought with cash. The video option is useless now.
Answer: I have an RCA tablet and it constantly shows Memory Low while playing. Try downloading from different sources on google. I have done this with other games when The store wouldn't let me.
Answer: Wouldnt waste your time sir. The game is being ran into the ground.
