About Golf With Your Friends
Golf With Your Friends arrived in early 2016 from Blacklight Interactive. This indie title brings chaotic mini golf to consoles and PC across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Mac, Linux, and Stadia. The game drops up to twelve players into absurd courses where physics often betray common sense. You swing clubs to knock balls into holes while navigating moving platforms, wind tunnels, and slapstick hazards. It launched as a simple multiplayer party game but evolved into a community favorite for its unpredictable nature. The core premise is straightforward enough that anyone can pick it up immediately without reading a manual or tutorial.
Gameplay
You control a blobby character on a golf course holding your club. Aiming involves dragging your mouse or using analog sticks to set the angle and power bar. Once you release, the ball rolls through the environment with exaggerated physics that make shots feel unpredictable. Courses feature moving platforms, rotating obstacles, and sudden hazards that can knock your ball miles off course. You compete against eleven others in real time or tackle solo challenges alone. The controls are loose by design to encourage laughter rather than serious skill. Matches end when everyone sinks their hole or hits a time limit. You unlock new hats and clubs as you complete objectives.
What Players Think
PlayPile data shows this game has strong staying power with 83 total achievements chasing completionists. Critics gave it solid marks at 69 on Metacritic and 73.4 from IGDB based on 122 ratings. The average player spends roughly two hours per session, often dropping in for quick rounds rather than long campaigns. Community moods lean heavily toward chaotic fun and frustration mixed with amusement. Twitch data places the title at rank #77 currently trending, proving its appeal for streamers and viewers alike. Players frequently share screenshots of balls stuck on impossible ledges or rolling into holes by accident. The low entry price of $3.39 makes it an easy add to any library for group play.
PlayPile's Take
This game works best for groups who want quick, messy fun without serious competitive stakes. The $3.39 price point removes risk for casual buyers or those looking for a party title. While the physics engine can feel frustratingly random during solo attempts, it shines when friends are present to share the blame. You will likely spend more time laughing at failed shots than mastering technique. Achievements offer plenty of reasons to revisit levels even after initial completion. Avoid this if you expect a serious simulation or polished single player campaign. It remains a solid choice for cheap entertainment with minimal learning curve.
