Computer golf has been around for over 30 years, all the way back to the days of EGA monitors on PCs. Now with smartphones and because of the simplicity of the game there have been several golf games released in recent years, listed below are the top 5.
#1 - WGT Golf Mobile
Without doubt the best mobile golf game out there. The courses are based on the real thing, the terrain is literally mapped to 'within an inch' of that in the real world which ensures that you and your ball stay realistically displayed on-screen. The graphics are also great and the game itself is free.
#2 - Let’s Golf 3
This game is not for everyone, the cute cartoon graphics which includes animals will put a lot of people of but that aside the graphics and golf mechanics are first class. The game puts you under pressure to perform, given that failing to make par requires you to go back to the start of each course section or pay in virtual currency to try again. This game also features mini-games and has plenty of customisation options to explore.
#3 - Mini Golf Stars 2
Featuring simple cartoony graphics that don’t get in the way of the Gameplay Mini Golf Stars 2 is great for playing a round of 'crazy golf' with the family, or challenging players from around the world. This game has 3 different types of courses and over 150 plus unique and challenging holes that involves bashing your ball around between obstacles, slopes and hoops.
#4 - Super Stickman Golf
This game is as much puzzle as golf game, each hole is outrageously designed and laid out in two dimensions, side-on, and you have to not only work out a way to get your golf ball to the hole in par but actually execute the plan as well. Don't be fooled by the cute graphics and juanty music Super Stickman Golf is harder than it looks.
#5 - Golf Star
This game contains a mix of structured single-player matches and multiplayer modes which ranges from one-on-one online challenges to massive ten-man real-time competitions. Gameplay features an advanced physics engine that takes into account over 70 factors that includes impact angle, wind, temperature, and humidity. Golf Star also features real courses and real pros.
