Very rigged game and very obvious how can this game be allowed to charge so much money for this and get away with it will never play it again and never recommend anyone to purchase things from it until it’s made more fair to all

LIked it at start/ It's a really fun golf game. Then, like lots of people mention, you get paired against people with whom you simply cannot win. They have extraordinary clubs and balls and make extraordinary shots, and unless you spend extraordinary amounts of money, you won't. And suddenly your shots aren't going the saem distance as shots by other people. Sometimes you blow by you opponent, sometimes they blow by you-for the same shot, taken with the same power and ball, with the same club, in the same wind. Neither way is fair.

I know the owners are in it to make money, but they must make a boat load on ads. So why don't they divide players into 2 groups: one that buys equipment and one that simply erns by playing. The purchasers can't paly down into the earn it group, but the earn it gorup could paly up just to see how much easier the game is if you spend money. My guess is doing that will induce some players to spend, which will increae the owner's income.

It is fun to play, well was. Until you encounter players with clubs and other abilities way above yours, then you may just as well forfeit the game as a lost cause.

One step forward, two steps backwards, or more by the time you reach level 13 plus.

The wind is highly inconsistent and changes per strike with too many factors affecting the overall outcome. Makes it very frustrating.

The worst aspect is the cost of special balls and upgrades, 500 gems for 10 balls essential for the ridiculous tiebreaker shots yet it takes weeks to get a couple hundred gems. Clubs can be upgraded past past stage 12 as the cost is way too high and the card system takes a millennium to get enough cards to upgrade. All the freebies are fun to collect.

Overall, it's a money grabbing game in a money grabbing rich man's world. I don't pay so am eternally stuck in the one step forward, two steps backward stage 13. Eventually I will no doubt give up and delete it

Played for a few months. Had to just let it go. Like most people here, when I had plus 3 or 4 clubs it started putting me up against players with clubs 3 or more higher. Finally without spending any money got my clubs up to 6 an 7 just to find out this game is not policed for cheaters. I kept running into players that are using hacks to win. I have hit quite a few long distance eagles and birdies but I take the time to aim. Seen multiple high level players just click move cursor swing, auto in cup. It's a game that tries to take all for money and lets players do whatever they want. Seen the 300 yard in the cup shot to many times and found the hacks online they are using. I am not gonna go that route, F this game.

This game sucks! I stopped playing because when I got to the higher levels they kept matching me with opponents that had 6 level clubs to my 3. There was no way to win. Who wants to play a game where they set you up to lose? I would go to shoot outs where my club couldn’t even make it to the green and they would end up 2 yards away from the hole. It gets to be so frustrating that you hate to play the pos game anymore. Had a 82% win record after 2000 games. If they didn’t match me up against these opponents I would be close to 90 % for sure…which is where I was before they started doing that. I complained to them every day and all I got was their canned response of,”we’re sorry you had a bad experience”. Nothing about they understand and are working to correct that issue. Bottom line, they don’t give a crap and aren’t willing to better the game. I was really good at this game and would beat my opponents with the same level clubs usually.

This game app is only interested in sales , it has a obvious algorithm that decides wich player will win before you even tee off , the placement of ball for windage is very inconsistent at best , if you don't want to spend money I suggest you stay away from this game, the the game has alot of issues to be worked on but has potential if the makers stop being greedy for money

I like the game but it seems very unfair to have players competing against other players that have golf clubs that hit further. I can’t get an aerial view of the golf course while many of my opponents can. It is hard to compete against people with such an advantage.

Review by Gamer61Sep 28th 2022

I loved the game played it for 2 months, but after a month I could see what Was coming....I play 2 shots, sometimes 3, then my opponent holes in from 250 yards, straight in the hole without bouncing! Several clubs will do this when they are upgraded, costs money or takes a very long time if you don't pay! Very frustrating, to say

the least, these are only middling ratings, drives of 500-1,000 + yards are commonplace among the people with the best, paid for, clubs! I dunno what game this is, but it definitely isn't golf!

As a long time player the game has turned into crud. It used to be challenging and skillful to the player. It is now way to obvious that Zynga has turned it into a pay to win game. You do not succeed by skillful playing anymore, it's based on your pockets. Ive quit playing this game. Zynga tries to make changes to the game stating its for the player but it obviously only benefits them. Horrible game now. The greed and obvious scams is what made me quit.

As soon as I gave a honest opinion on the review option (which was basically - if you don't spend money than you are opposed with those that do and it becomes impossible to win) I was opposed constantly with those who have spent hundreds of pounds, dollars, euros etc. It became laughable. So I uninstalled it and got on with relevant things to do. Good luck folks and take care.

I played this game for a while and got quite good at it. At first I had the wrong strategy and got stuck with bad clubs. Then created a new account and started over. This time I did great and made it to Duke III in the kingdom and level 15 in the normal league. I ended up getting all legendary clubs up to level 3, and then I got stuck again. At some point the game starts matching you with people with way way better clubs and suddenly it is no competition. If you spend money than changes back to normal. If you don’t spend money for a long time the wind starts acting weird too. Totally rigged game. People who say otherwise haven’t seen it yet.

Very addictive game, so don't start playing unless you want to spend money. The courses are designed to reward those who spend $$$. I spent only $4.99 in the year i played the game, and you can't win past course 15 unless you pay. Also, NEVER respond to the internal rating gauge negatively. When you do, programs in the game severely handicap you. Too bad...a really fun game until the bots turn against you and you don't want to pay the $$$ suckers that created it.

Started great. Then I progressed to the point where wind, trees, slope, and sand made it impossible to succeed without spending $1,000+ (no exaggeration) to upgrade clubs and balls. Lots of opponents have these upgrades. I don't know if there are that many wealthy people out there or if gr has its own contestants entered. I'm very disappointed in the game now

They are really good at sucking you in but if you don't want to spend $1,000+ (I'm not exaggerateding) don't do it. You get to apoint where the wind and bunkers are set up perfectly to make sure if you don't spend the money to upgrade your clubs, you won't win. Upgrades at that point cost more than you can buy with earned coins

Golf Rival is a great and accurate game, at the precise level as that of military and commercial flight simulators.

I only recommend though that they match competitors by club level and not by points.

I also recommend Golf Rival increase the club parameters at the green so distances will stop switching back and forth as the player adjusts their aim.

I agree with all about the money. Next time you play, check out the opponent profile. How does a player have more birdies and eagles than total games played. The math doesn’t work. Since I mentioned it they will change things to deceive players even further. Play it for fun but don’t pay a single cent. Just saying.

I love this game but only give it 3 stars because I have tried everything I can think of 2 zoom in on my shots, or see my shot from a different perspective, yet I don't know how, while some people do. This gives them a very unfair advantage. Why they can't give all their players this info on their tutorial page, which is quite extensive, is beyond my comprehension.

Agree with everyone who says it’s rigged and that one has to “pay to compete”.

Frankly, I was hoping the game would be like the ad run in other games where the ball is hit, skims across a skinny ledge hundreds of feet in the air and, if it makes it, bounces into a hole. Unfortunately, that comes dozens of levels (and hundreds of dollars) later.

Finally, the single-player “tournament” is the absolute best part of the game; unfortunately, the game thrives on competing against other people (hence, the name).

Yeah this game is designed to make money but I can assure you that you don't have to. You need to learn the ring system which is a really good system and keep your cups low< very important to win more games than you lose. Unlock the levels required to attain your legendary clubs and hold back! Play the level below your top level so you don't gain cups, only play your top level for quests. Concentrate on getting top scores in tournaments (stay on easy, you want to guarantee a legendary card) and getting to legendary rewards in kingdom.

Playing it clever can get you a 70% or more wins.

The 3 types of rings are easy to learn and can literally be used as guages, only use the wind measurement for wind speed, not direction, use rings for direction!

People are unfairly rating this game 1 star, I enjoy the challenge, I enjoy beating people who outrank me in all respects and if you are seeing people get albies on every shot like some say, then aspire to do the same. You have obviously reached kingdom levels you can't keep up with till you progress your clubs. Remember in the first week or so, lower levels WILL have higher clubbed people until they get up to their respective levels.

I gave an extra star for the unfair ratings from people who think you can just pick up and play rather than learn how to play. I get people use special balls on me and I still beat most of them without special balls. Just because learning the rings gave my short and medium game pin point accuracy 90% of the time!

Good game!

As with all these types of Game Apps it is undoubtedly rigged in favour of the developer. As long as you can accept that you will never beat the system then it can be a lot of fun. If you are happy to just play the game without for ever purchasing to try to escalate further then you can get pretty far on the daily freebies and win prizes,

Just don't expect to get to maximum levels though, without spending. Even then you will find yourself up against superior clubs, strange wind settings when it's your turn and your own clubs and balls not matching your opponent even though they may have the same.

More recently I played what was obviously someone on the developers team/payroll who was emoji-ing me before the ball had even landed and again when it became a draw and they got an impossible hole in one on the next game, followed again by an "Wow" emoji before the ball even hit the hole.

This is still a fun game though, just don't expect to achieve great heights with it. At the end of the day, it's free and only you can commit to buying stuff.

I've been playing this game for a year now and I can say that there are enough non-paying players to keep it fair (more fun than not)... it's a bit frustrating having to keep going through all the "offers" and useless rewards just to maintain the basic edge (I have spent $0). Occasionally I get an opponent who spends money on this game, and they're usually either careless, or just passing through (beats the crap out of me..). Anyway it's fun enough to keep playing.

Terrible game. The graphics are nice, but it's a complete money grab. You play people who PAY for better clubs, so you rarely stand a chance. Their first shot will be far longer than yours, or curve around a mountain. And you can never catch up. Unless, of course, you PAY for better clubs yourself .... And that's the real game here in a nutshell. Maybe the owners of this app made millions off suckers with this scam. But if you're not one of the brain dead suckers looking to get robbed, dont bother with this game.

So, game is very addictive, stages take too long, meaning you have to play the same few holes way too many times! 99% of chests are worthless. If your new to game, you get 2 clubs of each, 2 drivers, 2 woods, etc. Choose one that has top/back spin, and one with side spin, don't worry too much about distance. You don't get to choose when you can upgrade your clubs, just luck of draw when opening chests. Don't waste coins upgrading clubs you don't use. You must learn to use and trust the wind rings, ground debuff box, once learned you will hole out Much more often. I admit i have spent some money trying to upgrade, but again, you Don't get to choose what you get. I just made it to stage 13 and as of 1st hole it sux, really dark and can't see where hole goes, we'll see! You can go pretty far with standard clubs and no money, but you must learn to use wind rings! Would be better if you could miss a putt, and if there were penalties for water or out of bounds.

I am retired and can spend $0 on your game. I have accumulated almost 150,000 in coins but I cannot spend any of it on upgrading my clubs. As a result I recently have had several losing streaks of 20 to 25 games because every opponent seems to have upgraded clubs (ability seems fairly equal). I suspect that they buy the gems that allow them to get the chests that eventually provide the cards necessary for the upgrade. I think the game should allow trading coins for gems or a separate track for those that do not have any money to spend. Otherwise it is fun distraction.

If your a crooked scheming entrepreneur this game is perfect design. The devs purposely allow high rank players to jump back to old seasons and still earning season points maybe not trophies but points. Clubs should not be able to be leveled strictly by who spends more money. The more you use a club should have more effect than who spends more money.

Now what I have also learned by many many games of experience. The kingdom and arena are complete rip offs. They are designed to make you gobble up your balls. Once you get to Earl V promotion levels are a joke. They are obvious Bots or replays of Devs. Last what kind of golf combines mini golf with PGA golf? Between the obstacles thrown at you post season 11 and the gimmick shots to achieve eagles or albatross. Myself I am done with Golf Rival I enjoy Ultimate Golf much more as it is Golf not some ridiculous combination golf with bots and trick shots and a crooked dev team. Still pay to fully enjoy but much more golf related. Last whine, many, many, many times I have logged out with x amount coins, x amount certain balls, and logged in the next day with massive loss in coin and balls to zero.??? Happened 3 times. No I am not hacked, no I do not share my phone or game access.Its them. Just play it casual. Don't make these assclowns richer. There no different than drug dealers.

Strange game. Very addictive in some ways, but also very frustrating. I don't mind losing as long as it is a level playing field. The opponent often seems to miss the light rough or be able to hit big shots out of the rough. The wind meter seems to be much reduced when the opponent is playing their shot. Plus, most games are drawn and the player that wins the nearest the pin has better clubs or uses the kangaroo ball. Maybe I am a sore loser after all. Or perhaps I should have spent all my money on the game. Not doing that. I have uninstalled the game after playing circa 200 games. I have better things to do with my time.

I put a review on 31/1/21 explaining the RIP off this game is. Well someone must read these reviews because today 3/2/21 I was playing and low and behold the amount of incredible EAGLES from so called opponents was phenomenal.

You have to pay big money to get anywhere.

Pay to Win - greedy, cynical game, where you can win for a few hours, then face opponents with hundreds of dollars worth of clubs and balls.

Infuriating - avoid it.

Great game but an absolute rip off.

Have played hundreds of games and opponents seem to be pulling eagles out of their backsides.

Most of mine miss by a whisker.

Most of the time I wonder am I really playing against an opponent or AI.

More than likely because I haven't paid a cent and don't intend to.

Pay to play rip. Fun for awhile. Then your up against guys who have leveled up clubs so fast and have no chance of winning matches. Played over 5000 matches and have level 3 top club and go against a guy whos played less than a thousand games and some how has a level 6 or higher club. L O L. Waste of my time if i cant ever win. Lost intrest dont bother.

This game has great potential - but it’s hard to feel that some things are not rigged. I got past the lava level after being stuck for weeks. It is repetitive unless you stuff it up due to concentration. I spent about $500 in two months and had gear that gave me a 53% win percentage - sometimes I was just outgunned first shot still. The battles to go up levels are rigged. I played a guy who slammed the ball into a mountain so it bounced back for him to bag the Eagle. Drive don’t wedge far away.

Hey, the creator is clever. The game is addictive and if you going to hang on with the rest you need to spend money. I really wish people could fight this urge to spend any on the game so the company would hit the wall just to change a few things.

After playing this for almost 2 months, I'm around 17k and haven't spend anything yet, lost a ton of shootouts. But me and my level 2 bat wing will fight this! (Soon to be level 3)

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..

Fraudulent charges showed up on our Google Pay account from Golf Rival. They started out small, but then became an outrageous series of fraudulent charges, totaling over $850.00! GAMER/BUYER BEWARE. This game/app awards only those who purchase; and if your Google Pay, or PayPal are connected, you are vulnerable to hacking and fraudulent charges. It's a dangerous RIPOFF!

Very frustrating and difficult not to lose your temper. Some of the shots that your opponent does just doesn’t make sense and seems impossible to do the same shot. If you suffer with anxiety like I do, DO NOT play this game, I have actually lost sleep over this game...

I've been playing golf rival for a while and initially enjoyed it but the game is rigged. If you win a couple in a row your facing someone working for the game who's got a hundred or more balls with special powers compared to you. It's basically cheating as the same shots hit from me Landing in the same spot the ball does not react the same. I've even seen some of the people I believe working for their almost try to embarrass you and be arrogant moving their putter Arrow back and forth non-stop when they have you beat. My review is honest and the game is not a true indication of playing against another common opponent if you happen to win a couple games in a row. Plus I've also seen many times playing one of these individuals that I believe works for the game company they will use the special ball and then if we go to the par-3 challenge it still shows they have that available to them which of course it won't for you. I don't trust the game at all and if you get two more advanced levels you'll get this experience. Please anybody else who runs into these issues to leave a message 2 give everybody a heads up and hopefully people will leave their game site and use other apps that are fair. as a matter of fact if you read many of the reviews of the people who have reached level 8 or above they'll explain the same issue. I believe their philosophy is that if they beat you and demoralize you might end up spending money buying the added benefits of Clubs and balls that they sell. I totally one-hundred-percent believe that's the strategy because if you can't beat the people working for the company playing against you using the paid resources you might be motivated to spend money on them.. Another thing you'll see is that you accumulate points based on each level you move up. You can go down and play levels if you choose. When I have gone down and levels and won a few games in a row all the Sun I'm playing a person who's got way lest points and have only played 50 games yet they're able to play 10 times better than me which is not possible with me having over 4500 games on the website. Everything above I'm sharing with you is true and you will experience

Game is a complete RIPOFF!!!! They have players that they allow to use cheating apps for the kingdom to try and force people to waste money. If you complain they block you on their facebook. Certain players can hit complete Rediculous shots that are no where close to the hole yet they go straight in. Not talking about the wind chart either. The cheaters and players playing for the app always bring up understanding the wind chart. News flash a 5 year old can figure out the wind chart and it has nothing to do with the cheating the app allows and the cheating they do by having inside players playing for them....

Your opponent hits the ball OB twice on one hole and ends up with a better line to the hole than you do, with the same amount of strokes. OB is a stroke penalty, but not in this game. Done with it. Bad shots rewarded on par with " perfect" shots.

Do not install this game it is a big RIP off. They actually regulate how often you win. During mid play or when it is your turn they disconnect you. It has happened to me a lot. My wifi is at full strength when they disconnect me. It is not a signal issue at all. I have spent money for upgrades as well and they never give you the upgrades for the clubs you need. You may win a few games back to back but then they make sure that you lose so you are forced to buy their package for curtain up deals. This game is a joke so please do not get suckered inn.

Wind changes from in your face on your shot to a 180 degree turn on your opponent. After putting backspin on the shot it hits the green like you punched it and flies off. Left or right shots around structure regardless of wind will hit structures.

Was fun for a while but I feel they know I haven’t spent big money, shots that I made in the beginning, now with better clubs I am missing. Seem to wing up OB a lot because the club did do what it was supposed to. Ironically it would have always been rectified with more power. I.e. higher club value.... which can be fixed by spending $$$$$

I have been playing now for three weeks at first it was fun. Then today my phone disconnected and when it re connected back onto the game some made the shot for me straight up in the air. Then after my opponent made his shot I could move anything then it started moving itself. This kept happening during the match. Clearly someone hacked my phone. Then I check online and there it was a hacking tool for this game I’m done I paid money on this game and I’m not going to continue to be ripped of and my information stolen.
