I believe people are correct about this game. If your not spending money and only buying with the free credits you earn, the game deteriorates. I've purchased everything by earning free credits. I have never spent any cash directly with them and with that change in april, I rarely win. It's become a pay or no play game. Not worth your time!

Criminal
August 22, 2021

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

Needs work
January 17, 2017

The most frustrating part of the game for me right now is not being able to control backspin on my wedge shots. I always have to go either a quarter swing down or half a swing down to have the ball land below the pin (which takes birdies out of the equation). Otherwise the ball lands inches from the pin and keeps rolling up to 15, sometimes even 30 feet away.

WGT is only after one thing... Your cash! There are cheats available, and many players use them to get incredibly low scores thus not giving good players a chance. The game is incredibly rigged to encourage you to spend money. That's not what golf is all about. Golf is a great sport, but this game steal that greatness!

WGT will drive you nuts. Crooked as it gets. Don't be a chump.

Here is some of how they operate. First they will draw you in with free play. They will give you morsels of encouragement.As you progress and become a contender things will change if you do not pay them any real cash for upgrades in equipment, accessories, etc.
Do you want to pay cash for something that does not really exist?
"A fool and their money are soon parted".
What will happen is, when you get good at it, if you are playing against paying customers, and you are in contention to win the match, you can not make a putt if your life depended on it. You will miss a tap in from 4 inches. Don't believe it? Give it a try WITHOUT paying them a single dime. Good luck.

My reason for playing was to see if I could learn something about club selection and wind. I played many rounds just to test it and found it to be pretty ambiguous. In many instances I would choose what was definitely the wrong the club, adjusting the aim and swing, and was penalized for miss hits no worse than choosing the right club and miss hitting it.

I suspect what's true is what many are saying in their reviews -- you play better not by making better choices but by spending more money.

Very poorly run website
December 20, 2013

Very poorly run website. Lots of problems with disconnections and loading errors and it is relentless day by day. Invest money then try and complain about anything... NO, they do not want to hear and do nothing about your complaint let alone all the bugs on the site. Don't invest money with these fools... they are inept at running a website and don't give a damn about the paying customer.

Account closed
August 14, 2018

Open up an account last month, did some surveys for credits, never got paid, game seemed like fun, dropped $70 for equipment was going along fine and boom account closed.

Giberish response from CS.

Don't be spending a nickle here, not sure what sort of scam they are running.

A Bunch of Crooks
July 9, 2016

This site has nothing to do with the etiquette of Golf. This is basically a bunch of crooks behind a keyboard cooking up ways to get you to keep adding charges to your credit card. Having to continually purchase balls is bull$#*!. If you don't play every day then you can't accrue the points needed to advance to the next levels. I can't count how many times my session timed out because of their popups telling me that my internet connection has become corrupted. But for whatever reason, my ROKU has no issues streaming videos during these error messages. This smells like a bunch a greedy bastards who don't give a damn about golf, they are only interested in finding ways to get you to part with your money. The only salvation is if this business is sold to a company that truly cares about it's customers.

Not a fair game.
October 17, 2016

Was fun until I reached level 70. Now the ball rarely sticks on the green and putts continuously miss by 2 or 3 inches. Drives don't go the distance even with a strong wind. 3 wood on the 2nd shot goes further. Got very boring all of a sudden.

Totally bullish! T
November 17, 2017

Whoever the programmer is doesnt have a clue how to play golf or program. Nothing is accurate or consistent. I count feet blocks distance slant speed wind resistance and force... exactly, and never get the same results. Crappy game. Still play occasionally in hopes that someone else will buy it and fix it.

What a joke!
November 12, 2017

Graphics - amazing. Literally every other aspect - complete $#*!! Do u like being able to see where you're hitting the golf ball? Yeah... That doesnt apply for this game. Any measurement given be it wind, yards to pin, yards above or below the hole... I think these are just numbers on the screen to make this appear like a real golf game. These numbers as well as your skill as a gamer are rendered useless with this incompetent game. Enjoy!

Great game going wrong?
December 11, 2017

Being forced to pay as I play. This Turf War will cost 37 credits per clash plus they want you to pay 250 credits for the spin meter. That, s $5.00. Was great when playing friends but they have decided not to play I guess for this reason as they are not online and have not responded to my invites when on.? Well maybe WGT will get the hint and put it back the way it was. I, ll try the turf war and see if it, s worth it. Other than that still fun to play alone.

The game is a joke, play well the game will ruin your game at the end of the round, always end up with 8 + or even, had -2 then triple bogey at the last minute. Whats the point of ranking up and you never get better, nonsense. The survey to earn points, is nothing more than a fbi or cia profiling tool. Couldn't be more obvious, especially when a supposedly live player knows what is running on your browser! Watched a clip of adult rated whatever on youtube, and I was told you have to turn that off by another player. The video was lame, but at least I got them to admit they were spying. I played a better golf game in 1990 on a sony playstation.

Suit is for promising better scores while producing worse results, after a purchase. Sound familiar? Interstate criminals, all of them. The more you spend, the worse your results! Avoid this site like the plague. The positive reviews are obviously employees! There are no real opponents! Only sham players. It's easy to play the game and lose 15 matches in a row. Now the practice portion of the game is as crooked as the match portion!

Fun game to play but frustrating to the the point you have no other choice but to believe it is rigged for you to spend money to buy upgraded equipment. Examples of what I have experienced is; ball rolling right over the hole on put 5 ft. And longer, when teeing off, wind elevation and distance the exactly same on previous shots same hole, using the same aim and distance but shot goes way off the desired mark, these a just s few that stands out and frustrates the hell out of me. I will not spend money for the same issues happen.

Um, can I have my 300 dollars back please. Thank you. Other guys seemed to be able to play incredibly well. I was never able to, even when I spent a good amount of money on it. I had the best equipment money could buy and was getting beat by guys with starter clubs. It's kind of fun. If your able to really get the nack you'll enjoy. I never did

Game is trash these days
September 21, 2021

This game used to be fun but it's definitely not the most realistic anymore and it appears that WGT decides who wins and who loses on here. Game is ridiculous and I'm almost done with it!

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!

After playing up to level 81 I may be done with this game... They made it to expensive to play. 1 hole game was a good option but, they should never have taken away the 3 and 9 hole games we play with friends price we were playing... Change it back or lose me and others I have spoken with...
