Heck, if we were playing all out for the par trophies, we’d have as many extra hot seat players as we were able to give ourselves plenty of opportunity to practice. The obstacles and complications are such that you’ll often do well to be second to tee off, assuming you’re playing with another player. We can understand the devs want to incorporate the themes of each into the mechanics of the courses, but when they lead to you running out of shots or time and getting a stroke penalty, they get old. These generally are fun enough and fit the feel of the themes but just as often they can lead to your undoing. Space Station for example has blackholes.

One egregious round had us under par until the twelfth hole, then two successive bad beats on holes had our until then decent score go out the window. This wouldn’t be so much of a problem if they didn’t sometimes have such a deleterious effect on an otherwise successful round. It works well for the most part but on a few occasions the additional mechanics thrust into the equation seriously mess things up. Forest is all verdant forests, just as Candyland is all confectionary themed. Gameplay wise, this is very much minigolf on a series of themed courses.

Oddly, you can’t sign in to a second profile for the second player, so no progress towards trophies for them sadly. Much to our co-op partner’s delight, he’s been an integral part to our checking out the courses on offer here. Thankfully local multiplayer is very much a thing, simply add additional players in the offline lobby.

At the point we wrote this review, admittedly almost six months post release, online is deader than this reviewer’s fashion sense. The default option is to play online, though forget randoms. We’ll get back to that at the conclusion of this review.Īs the name would indicate, Golf With Your Friends is very much best played with others as opposed to solo. We freely admit that this is our first sight of the game that initially came out in May 2020, reaching us courtesy of Team 17 to publicise the new DLC of three additional courses penned the New Worlds Pack.
