Editors’ Review
GL Golf for Mac provides a realistic virtual golf experience by employing responsive physics and features such as water hazards. You're able to customize the appearance of your character as well as the environment, and you can choose from three difficulty levels. While lacking online multiplayer, the game provides a global leaderboard.
Players can choose from many different courses, each with unique challenges like water hazards and sand traps. You can play alone or with up to four friends, making each game a new adventure.
GL Golf has many features that make the game enjoyable and realistic:
- Realistic Game Play: The game mimics real golf physics, making your shots feel authentic, paired with simple graphics.
- Diverse Playing Conditions: You can play in different weather conditions, times of day, and seasons, each changing how the game looks and feels.
- Many Holes to Play: There are 846 holes to play, keeping the game exciting and varied.
- Customize Your Experience:
- Pick different clubs to use.
- Choose what your golfer looks like.
- Set the game difficulty from three options.
- Play With Others:
- Join online tournaments.
- Play against friends through the Game Center Multiplayer Support.
The game keeps getting better with new courses added every year. You can try the first six holes for free and then buy the full version if you like it.
When launched, GL Golf for Mac presents you with its main settings screen. There you can choose the type of game, weather conditions, time of day, number of players, and difficulty, as well as customize the player's appearance and the clubs they will use. Through the game's menu you can also adjust the graphic details, but you won't be impressed, not even by the highest settings. A nice touch is the support for retina displays and fullscreen mode, as well as iTunes playback controls. The gameplay, itself, is easy to pick up and enjoyable, mainly thanks to the decent game physics. After the game ends, your score is added to the global leaderboard. The biggest drawbacks of the game are the lack of ability to customize your keyboard controls and the fact there is no online multiplayer mode available.
Bottom Line
While it's not visually spectacular, GL Golf for Mac offers an enjoyable experience to golf fans. Features like different weather conditions, and random hole locations add replay value by keeping the game fresh and challenging. This is a premium app that comes with a demo version, which allows you to play six holes.
