Review by GuestDec 4th 2020

There are 2 classes of players. Guests and those little folk that cannot compete on a level playing field so they pay for clubs, "special balls", and other considerations.

The game is actually fun up until level 5 or so when it become very apparent that the deck is quite stacked against the "guest. ". A few observations..

. a guest is really barred from acquiring the really great clubs. I have over 100K in coin and chests full of gems and I am blocked from upgrading..you would be normally competing with people who have the same gear but the game doesn't want that...

. the game algorithm for choosing the person you play with players usually teams you up with the highest point idle player possible so in the main game, I have played players with up to 3500 points above me and in the tournaments, you are routinely pitted against players that are 3 or 4 levels about you but on occasion, higher. . I asked GR about this and they said "they don't want me to wait for a match and I obliviously was not good enough to play at that lever ". Actual quote. What they are actually saying is that if you spend some $s, you could have what they have.. EDIT. Now that I am over 10K, you really become away that the game doesn't want you there because you are not a paying customer. . Why else would you be routinely matched with someone who have 250% higher score than you, longer and more accurate clubs and wads of "special balls". Mind you, the game may be giving the paying losers a chance to win.. The reality is that it is the same if I played at half my stated level. Shooting fish in a barrel does not sound like a lot of fun.

. I would say that for the vast majority of the games I play, I play with much higher winds than the paid up player..

. I cannot prove this but it seems the guests set up for shot time is slightly less..

. the reward system is silly.. gems / coin are ok but the 99% of the cards you win are garbage, and other bonuses for selling the game to others..

. from about level 7 on. It can be quite monotonous . unless you really mess up, 90 percent of the time you tie with your opponent. Then there is a tie breaking tee off. This tee off is geared solely to the long club / special ball owners.. there are a bunch that I cannot even remotely compete on. After I hit 10K plus, I cannot even come near the holes for play offs.. I join the tournament to get the balls and then are usually so mismatched with opponents, I lose all three games.

. you can always tell who is paying.. the "payers" have a "special" ball for each shot, clubs that you cannot get for yourself , and are the rudest players and have a tendency to congratulate themselves on their shots. There needs to be a button that says .. do you REALLY feel good beating someone with a third of your points and half of you club ?

. The joke on the payers who are using "special balls" and buying the clubs at my level.. GR doesn't post the high score but the one they do is 85K.. too funny.

This is a game of winners and losers. The winners are the guests and the losers are the poor folks that are anteing up bucks to buy their wins.. and really need a life..
