Golf With Your Friends provides a unique take on miniature golf. The game is available through the Steam platform for Windows PCs. Currently, seven stages are available with 18 holes each, offering 126 unique holes. Holes vary from the simple to the absurd with everything in between as well. A number of customization options can take an ordinary game of mini golf and turn it into something incredible. Anywhere from two to 12 players can face off against each other on a given stage.

The Basics of Golf With Your Friends

When players launch Golf With Your Friends, they're greeted with a simple menu screen. They can customize their golf ball with various unlockables. From there, it's possible to start a single player or multiplayer game of mini golf. It's possible to host or join lobbies, whether one wants to play with friends or random people. A specific stage is selected, and then players start the game of mini golf. Like all forms of golf, players win by having the lowest number of strokes by the end of the match.

Multiple Stages, Many Holes, and A Lot Of Challenging Situations

Each stage features its own theme and unique setting. Typically, stages start out easy for the first few holes before the level of difficulty increases. Flat, straightforward holes often give way to loops, ramps, and other obstacles. These holes can become challenging under standard mini golf rules, but the objective remains the same. Players cannot interact with each other under standard rules. However, they can see each other and use in game chat to communicate with each other.

Customizing Golf With Your Friends For More Entertainment

Golf With Your Friends isn't an ordinary mini golf game, though. It features customizable rules that create a completely different experience for players. For instance, things like collision and jumping can be enabled. The former allows players to hit each other's balls to cause mayhem; the latter enables balls to hop over obstacles. Antigravity, random ball shapes, and other rules increase the challenge of completing each hole. Frustration and hilarity are guaranteed to ensue.

The Verdict On Golf With Your Friends

In the end, Golf With Your Friends breaks the traditional mini golf mold. The core mechanics are familiar to everyone that's played a miniature golf game. Customized matches throw the formula upside down and make for more entertainment, though. Undoubtedly, a group of friends can enjoy stage after stage of mini golf under custom settings. Golf With Your Friends gets enough right to provide hours of entertainment, but the game may feel stale after too many sessions.
