Playing golf in the great outdoors is a glorious experience, so long as the weather conditions stay fine and dry. But as soon as the wind picks up and the dark clouds gather round, you’ll be eager to scurry inside before the rains lash down and spoil everyone’s good time.
Thankfully in the 21st century, there are lots of ways to keep yourself occupied if inclement conditions put paid to your golf playing plans for the day, especially in the world of digital entertainment. Here are just a few fun golf games to try out when Mother Nature messes with your schedule.
Golf Battle
One of the best things about playing golf casually with friends is the social aspect of the whole experience, and you can recreate that quite effectively thanks to Golf Battle, a hugely popular game that is available across a range of devices including Android and iOS smartphones.
The main reason to fire up this title is for the real-time multiplayer modes it offers, meaning you can duke it out with your pals across a wide range of crazy courses with challenging obstacles, while everyone takes shots at the same time in a race against the clock.
Gold Trophy 2
One of the many great slots available to play on sites like Casumo, the perks of Gold Trophy 2 are that it is simple to get into and offers a whole host of golf-themed symbols along with sound effects, graphics and music that evoke all the fun of the fairway.
Like lots of modern slots titles you can play it on most mobile devices and there’s a demo mode available if you just want to take it for a test drive without putting any cash on the line.
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour
The world of golf has been sorely overlooked on home consoles for some time, yet the most recent release from international publishing house EA Sports is definitely worth picking up if you have a PS4 or Xbox One available to you.
The post-release addition of extra courses helped to smooth over initial criticisms that came with its original release, and it has gone on to become the gold standard for serious golf simulators that can be enjoyed at home when the heavens have opened outside. As McIlroy continues to hit the headlines and remains a stalwart of the sport, hopefully EA will update this franchise in the near future.
Golf Master 3D
While Golf Battle is entertaining in an unrealistic way, Golf Master 3D aims to match it in terms of multiplayer enjoyment while packing in graphics and features that are far more authentic.
You will have to take into account things like wind speed and club type before you take your carefully-aligned swings, and of course you will be doing all of this while under pressure to keep up with another real person playing elsewhere in the world.
OK Golf
If you dip your toe into the world of mobile golf games, you will notice that quite a few titles are free to download but include in-app purchases and advertising that can get in the way of the experience.
OK Golf avoids all of that by coming with a fixed price tag, so one you have purchased it you will be able to enjoy everything it has to offer without interruption or any extra costs to pay.
Whether you play solo or against a friend, this fully 3D game features tons of holes and courses, as well as a unique visual style and a simple interface that is great for novices and pros alike.
