Best mobile game of all time This game is simple. But this is the desert; the desert is a void that offers only what you bring to it. I don't need to say the physics are perfect because that implies they were crafted and not simply the will of the God of the Desert interpreted by this games creator. The only reward you will find here is that in your own soul. Forget leaderboards or even the score on top. Simply golf. Let the desert enable your golfing: and nothing else.

Desert Golf A metaphor for life itself. Cautious, we begin full of hope, goals lofty our retinas not yet jaded by the hot desert sun. Very quickly our expectations change, this is cruel, brutal. Can we continue? We must. As the journey continues we become more adept at navigating the ever changing, ever challenging landscape. We do not know what lies ahead, at the end, or even if there is an end but we are driven by our desire to survive. This is the life we have, we need to make the most of it for there is only Golf.

This is mobile gaming done right. Hit the app button and you're where you left off in less than a second! Beats all the modern games with their huge loading screens. You can launch this app and play a couple holes within 30 seconds. Amazing! And it's just plain fun!

Fun and simplistic Personally, for a game such as this, I don't believe it needs to be 0.99$, but with no ads, I can't complain. If the game was made to subtract a point on a hole-in-one, it would be fun because people would be at a constant struggle to go to 0 strokes. Love the game.

The caddy​ passes me a club, the heat makes lining up the shot a chore. A half-hearted swings sends the ball into a valley. I turn and tell my caddy "We should​ give up for today" but he's not there. The cart, my bag, the path, all gone and replaced by endless desert. I press on enduring the sun and sand as they both seem to penetrate my skin. There is no escape but to play through. Between cracked, parched lips I scream "fore!" even though I know no one will hear me.

is it possible to restart this game? I just want to see if I can do better on the first 200 holes. like it much better now than my first try. :) nevermind, i found it. that was easy, just go into the app manager thingy place and reset the thing.

That rare thing: a perfect game This reminds me of Tetris: not that the gameplay is anything like Tetris, but in that a very few game mechanics yield infinite possibilities. This app is just about the simplest possible thing that you could describe as a video game, but it needs nothing more.

Can Crash the Game (but in a fun way) Is the second time I've had to restart Desert Golfing from scratch but on hole 538 if you smack the boulder into the hole, the game is crashed. On the next hole the ball just disappears replaced with by a new (second) cup.

Best bathroom game ever This is one of the few games I always come back to. Perfect time-waster. I love how minimalistic it is, and how simultaneously frustrating and relaxing it can be. Always mellows me out, it's like meditation haha

Found this gem while searching for games that do not require any special permissions. I have found this to be one of the most cathartic and enjoyable mobile games I've ever bought. It's pleasantly distracting and easy to drop into whether you have a minute or ten to kill.

Great game Mostly tranquil with bouts of infuriating rage, then tranquil some more. I love the minimalism, love the fact that you can't just retry a level nor return to it for that matter. Great in so many ways. Once you've played it, it's gone.

The Worldly Hope men set their hearts upon turns ashes—or it prospers; and anon, like snow upon the Desert's dusty face lighting a little hour or two—is gone. I found the unexpected at hole 316. I will keep on playing. Life is strange.

Perfect, love the fact it instantly opens, solid game. Dropping a star because of a few very minor issues. This is on an S8+ When the navbar is hidden, the out of bounds zone stretches to the where the navbar would be if it were not hidden. When the Bluetooth sound output changes, the game hangs up for a few seconds. Perhaps the biggest, in multi window mode the app pauses when another app has focus.

Must keep playing The update gave me a heart attack after playing 9700 holes but it's all good now. Good game to just relax and clear your head.

Desert Golfing is the path to nirvana. Each time the ball lands, your spirit is uplifted. Each time you miss, your spirit learns a lesson in humility. The green cactus is a sip of refreshing hope, the yellow stone is a lesson in hardship. Let your sufferings go. Lose your expectations and desires. Golf in the desert.

I encountered a lone cactus on hole 317. It frightened me, as I hadn't seen the color green in weeks. Golfing through the Sahara can be a little disorienting.... watch out for the sand people on hole 347, or maybe they don't exist?

Has some hitching and stuttering when the ball is moving, short pauses presumably when the game is trying to determine where the ball is heading? Doesn't seem normal but also not that bad.

my new favorite golf so much more pleasant than all those gimmicky golf games with ads and hats and stuff. I prefer the quiet minimalist aesthetic

Orange, and less orange... Are all I see... Eternally bitoned existence... I feel hopeless seeing as the meaningless pattern sits static before me. Then a gray bar expands before me, a white circle appears. My calling has arrived. Before I knew it, I hadn't seen my family in weeks, absorbed by the desert, allured by putt-ing a circle around a map... Then the map changed! I put the circle in the hole... Is this golf? Desert golfing... Huh! Makes sense now! It was fun before, which is where my rating came from. Post-progression the game was dumb, Dev should know people hate change!

Just simply brilliant Absolutely love this game, sadly doesn't seem to work on Wileyfox Swift with CyanogenOS 13.1 but works fine on all my other devices. Love all your games!

I saw a single slender pole, and tattered rags around its head. I moved my camels closer to see what this one said. Hole 34. I knew what Ozymandias meant.

Peace I have stopped with the cactus. He and I are one and the same: lonely denizens of an infinite plane, endlessly drifting in the sands, eternally still.

Hole 1237. Over 2900 strokes. I am trapped in an endless desert, unable to escape. I need food, water, and just one more perfect hole in one...

Simple pick up and play This is a great little time filler. Great balance of levels - some easy, some hard, some mind blowing. The feeling of satisfaction of a hole-in-one on a mad level is just immense. Currently on Level 7000+

Incredible value here. This game is a wonderful time filler with nuanced controls and pick up and put down convenience. Double the goodness when coupled with an audiobook or podcast. One recommendation would be Play Games integration.. think on it devs!

Android update slowed the game down It was working fine before, but after the Android update, it has so much slowdown. I hope this gets fixed.

Firstly, +1 for Auguries of Innocence reference. It's bitter-sweet that I can't go back to earlier holes. Once a hole is gone, that's it. But I really would like to know, how can I turn off the sound??? Otherwise, great game.

Need sound when sinking ball into hole!!! Need sound when sinking ball into hole!!! Its hard to get immersed into the game without it. :( P.S. I really like the "Sinking the put" sound clip from the game Flick Golf on the Play Store.

GTA V Clone The graphics will blow your mind, tactical gameplay - IGN

Great game, one flaw. If you play poorly on a hole, just close the game and reopen before you hole out, and the hole resets. Easy to cheat.

this is the kind of game people don't understand when you try to explain it to them because it has such a hidden psychological experience just watching someone play makes no sense

Best game. Such a great game. I've been playing it for a while now and I saw a great suggestion from another review...hole in one's should subtract 1 from your overall score. Thanks.

Over 5000 holes in Great game to pick up and play whenever, some extremely challenging holes also. Well worth it.

Highly recommended Setting a standard for all simple games. For no ads and endless fun this is prefect. Don't change it. Good job.

Existential What am I doing with my life? You will ask yourself this question on hole 1498.

Great for the price point Considering most games at the $1.50 aren't this entertaining I really can't not reccomend it.

This has actually helped me learn to meditate and relax. Not sure if that was an intended feature. But I absolutely love it.

The ultimate troll game. Leaderboards? No! Strokes matter? No! Better than the Masters? Yes!

goty.cx Mobile Game of the Year 2014 UPDATE: Still the best mobile game available.

I don't think this game is being updated anymore but cloud syncing saves would be cool.
