About this game

To see a world in a bunker of sand
And a heaven in a wild cactus,
Hold infinity in the pocket of your shorts,
And eternity in Desert Golfing.

Ratings and reviews

I'm giving this a 3 for one reason: It's nearly impossible to backup your save or move it to a new phone. PLEASE add an import/export, or cloud-sync feature. PLEASE. I'm on hole 7691. I've made over 23,000 shots in the game. I don't want to lose it but this is the single app on my phone that I can't backup. Doesn't Google Play Games integration give super easy cloud save support? It probably wouldn't even be that hard to add into the game.

A fun minimalist game that doesn't stress you with internet connectivity, ads, or even loading screens. I just starts up instantly and plays. There is a bug that required me to reinstall and lose my progress. When you find the rock around hole 700 don't push it into the hole. It will break the game. (They have since patched this. Even better!)

Of all the games I have installed, this game is the one constant on my phone. Always fun, never stale, often frustrating, but ultimately satisfying. There are few pleasures like nailing a hole-in-one or getting just the right bounce and roll to allow for an easy gimme. It's easy to just quickly play a hole or two, but you can also play for hours and keep saying 'just one more hole ...'. The best $0.99 I ever spent on a game.
