If you want to impress your friends or randoms as you play, you can also customise your ball in a number ways. It feels nice to politely praise others as you play, but more than anything I found myself using the “Whoops” chat command. When playing with others, there’s a set of quick phrases you can use to communicate during your match. Watching balls flying everywhere as players try to traverse a tricky gap never ceases to be amusing, and with collision turned on adds an extra obstacle to the proceedings.

There’s no waiting for your shot here, as it’s a free for all as everyone tries to launch their way to the finish. With 18 holes on each course, it’ll take a long time to master all of them to ensure victory against rivals locally and online.Įach of the game modes and courses can be played against up to 11 others online, for maximum mayhem. There’s also a greyed-out stage, promising a future Escapists themed level for prison escape fans. Each of these backdrops has its own set of obstacles to maneuver around, from black holes to concrete donkeys. There’s a pirate setting, a space station and even a Worms theme on one of the courses. This is definitely the first golf game where I’ve hit an extra large acorn through a land of confectionery.Įach of Golf With Your Friends‘ 11 (at the time of writing) courses are themed to perfection. For fans of a less predictable experience, you can even randomise the size and shape of the ball for each hole. You can also change the bounce and gravity, altering how you’ll have to tackle the ramps and drops of the courses. Some of these options are functional preferences, like maximum shots before you’re forced to give up a hole or a time limit. Outside of these game modes, you can also customise a huge list of rules to play however you want to. Your items carry over between holes, so you can save your sticky honey for the ideal place to trap your opponents, or use a double jump to skip over a tough stage. It turns out this is a match made in heaven, and collecting powerups to disrupt the other players is incredibly satisfying. The final game mode is party, which combines crazy golf and Mario Kart. There’s no better feeling than watching your rival bounce of the keeper repeatedly. Even more outlandish is the hockey mode, in which you hit a Puck past a cardboard cutout goalie at the end of each hole. I found it much trickier to shoot hoops, but it’s a fun way to switch things up. Basketball mode replaces the holes with nets, and gives you a jump button so you can turn a Par 3 into a 3-pointer.

If you decide that the traditional ball in the hole set up isn’t for you, Golf With Your Friends has a bunch of ridiculous options for you to experiment with. This is far easier said than done though, as even short putts require precise aim to sink.

There’s no timing your button presses to get the shot on target, and all the skill required to win is in choosing your shot wisely.

Hitting the ball is as simple as choosing your shot power and direction, and pressing the shot button. As you might expect it’s pure putting, but don’t let that get in the way of sending your ball soaring into the distance. The aim is simple (at least in classic mode) just get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible. Golf With Your Friends is as crazy as golf gets, with huge ramps, tunnels and deadly traps. It’s the only version of the sport I enjoy in person, because nothing beats hitting a ball through a windmill. If there’s one thing I like more than Golf, it’s Crazy Golf. Since playing with others was what got me into the genre, Golf With Your Friends immediately had my attention. I initially took to the tee as it was a surefire way to play video games with a family member, but eventually I realised I just love golf games. We’d spend hours together playing World Masters Golf on the SNES, which was eventually replaced by the absolute classic of Mario Golf on the Nintendo 64. Golf is my Dad’s favourite sport, so I got my first golf game very young. Golf games have been a part of my life for decades.
