About
An Other Golf Game is an open-ish world sandbox life sim with survival, permadeath, and, golf. You’ll have to figure out how to make money, navigate the world, and survive long enough to hit the course. There are no tutorials, and no hand-holding. When you die, you start over.
Expect to be beaten by the game many times before you beat the game.
Expect to get lost when trying to find the golf course, then getting lost again when you try to go home.
Expect to be confused about how to take clubs out of your bag once you put them in.
Expect to be frustrated that you can't hit a ball when you are not looking at it.
Expect to treat some aspects of the game as a puzzle.
Expect to not know where the save locations are.
Expect to be bad at golf unless you make an effort to learn the mechanics and try to improve, there is a driving range after all.
Expect to figure out how to find and complete odd jobs just to afford more clubs so you can eventually build a full set.
Expect to shank it and subsequently wasting time looking for your ball in the tall grass.
Expect stupid high medical bills, welcome to the US.
Expect having to figure out how far you hit the ball and doing some basic math to determine which club is the right choice for the current situation.
Expect the usual early access quirks like weird Unity physics, janky moments, and frustrating deaths.
Expect a unique, extremely challenging golf experience that takes a long time to master.
This is a passion project created by a solo developer who has worked various jobs at golf courses, from washing carts to caddying and everything in between. If you're interested in a life sim golf game that attempts to truly capture the frustrating essence of golf, this one might be for you.
I encourage you to join the discord or post in the Steam forums if you have any questions or want some help. Like golf, this game is purposefully not easy and attempts to align more to what the real golf experience is truly like. If you have any questions, reach out, I am happy to push you in the right direction.

Very relaxing, realistic golf sim.
I bought this game on a whim after reading comments regarding games people like that are similar to My Summer Car. After just over 40 hours of play time I can say It was very much worth the money I paid for it. The golfing can be challenging, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun and realistic. Earning cash (via daily jobs) to buy all your golf clubs and accessories is enjoyable. I recommend buying a boombox from the local gas station and putting it on the rear shelf of the red cart (and loading in your own custom songs). Waxycaps is the most responsive and helpful developer I have ever dealt with (in the game's discord)! A recent update even added some things I requested! You can tell the developer really cares about his game and puts a lot of effort into it. I'm looking forward to all future updates. In particular rewards/incentives that promote playing daily/weekly golf. This game does have its quirks, but it also has great bones!
Fun Golf/Life sim! At first you are lost, then you are found... then your ball is lost, repeat. My suggestions for the game: I wish i didn't have to start the golf cart every time i get in it. Driving range flight tracker UI would be nice for figuring out distance and swing mechanics. Some Ash Trays on the course would be really nice, maybe like every 4-5 holes. Being able to tee up a ball at the range while in golf mode/ without having to drop the club would make practice a lot more enjoyable. Range Finder! I felt like i should have gotten an achievement for finally getting a ball in the hole on the first green of the course lol 4 hours and 3 restarts later. Great work for a Solo Dev project! Hope it gets a lot more updates! Well played Troy
I really want to like this game but having peramadeath and no way to not kills it for me.
its too good
As a real golfer. whose only addiction is golf. This is a lot of fun so far. Please don't stop updates with this game. It will get popularity. Would be fun to do youtube vids on. NOTE FOR DEV. shell out a little money and ask small or big golf youtuber's to promote the game. This game has huge potential. would love more ways to donate toward the game
This game brilliantly captures the essence of golf by highlighting the frustration of vaguely knowing what you have to do without knowing exactly how to do it. It took me three hours to even find the golf course (and nearly another hour before I could successfully hit a ball), and I died or gave up several times along the way. The entire time, it had the same feeling as learning to swing a golf club for the first time in real life. Infuriating, confusing, awkward, unintuitive, and punishing, but in the end extremely rewarding. This is my kind of game. I can't wait to come back and edit this review after I've made more progress.
Honestly just buggy.
its american, dont drive on the left side of the road
这个游戏可以看出来是作者花费了很多心思去制作的,而且作者的发言和回复也让我觉得这是一个很有耐心并且是真心希望自己的游戏能够被更多人喜欢的人。很抱歉我没有用英语写这篇评价,因为我想更准确的表达我对这个游戏的看法,希望大家用翻译软件读这篇文章不会太费劲。 大家很多人都提到了My Summer Car这款游戏,我同样也是它的粉丝,而An Other Golf Game也是我在其他粉丝的推荐下了解到的。这款游戏同样有着My Summer Car里吸引人的地方:一个开放的小世界、各种可以进行的活动、基于现代生活而非荒野求生的生存元素、各种值得钻研的游戏系统等等(比较令我意外的是玩家的那辆红色小车,这个游戏很明显不是以汽车为主题,但那个小车的手感很不错,甚至快的像拉力赛车一样)。抱着对这些元素的期待,我进入了这个游戏,但最终还是失望的退了出来。如果说My Summer Car的玩法是在困难中寻找乐趣,那这个游戏就是难上加难。除了独特的高尔夫内容,其他的地方都很一言难尽,比如空泛且复杂的地图、缺乏引导的各种游戏内容,这些困难在我看来并不会让人血压飙升,而是会让我觉得很难有继续玩下去的兴趣。而且刚刚进入游戏的时候我就对这个游戏产生了很深的疑问,因为那些键位设置未免过于复杂了点,就好比是我想玩一款模拟飞行游戏,但我需要先读完一本一万多页的说明书,这太痛苦了(我花了很久才研究出来怎么从房间里走出来然后把车开出去,而且我到现在都没整明白那个手电筒怎么打开)。很多人都说中国人喜欢因为一个游戏没有中文而给差评,在我看来语言已经是这个游戏最小的问题了,甚至并不算一个问题,这类不以剧情为主的游戏不需要花费太多精力去做本地化适配。 在我看来,作者把自己喜欢的东西展现在这个游戏里,但却很难让别人也和他一样享受这个游戏的乐趣。中国有一个典故叫做“伯牙绝弦”,形容人在这个世界上很难寻找到自己的知音,也就是真正了解自己的朋友。能看到有人热衷于制作我所喜欢的小众游戏类型真的很令我感到开心,我也很想成为作者的知音,去融入到这个游戏里,但玩法上的欠缺却很难让我和作者同频共振。当然,尽管我对这个游戏的评价不算太好,但我依然愿意为这个用心的独立游戏留一个好评。这个游戏还很年轻,有很大的发展空间。当一个人处在未来远比过去漫长的多的阶段时,他的前途总会是风光无限的,我相信这个游戏也一样如此。这个游戏需要作者花更多的时间去继续打磨,比如更多的游戏内容、更丰富的地图、更容易被理解和上手的操作方式等等。虽然现阶段的游戏体验并不算好,但我很乐意去陪着这个游戏一起成长,并在这个游戏做的更好之后推荐给更多的人玩。
