About
Golf Club Architect is a game about creating, managing and playing your very own golf course.
Start out with a few simple holes to get those green fees rolling in and as your funds accumulate further refine, grow and decorate your course to satisfy your customer's skill and aesthetic needs.

Design and construct the golf course of your dreams from the ground up. Sculpt rolling terrain, carve out bunkers, shape fairways and greens with precision, then bring your vision to life with lush surfaces, water features, and carefully placed scenery. Every hole is yours to craft from challenging doglegs to sweeping par 5s. With an intuitive suite of terrain and object placement tools that make course design feel creative and rewarding. Whether you're recreating iconic layouts or dreaming up something entirely new, the possibilities are endless. Build a course that's uniquely yours, then watch as AI golfers take on every challenge you've designed.

Step onto the course you built and play it yourself. Take control of your own golfer and experience every hole firsthand, read the greens, judge the wind, select your club, and shape each shot with skill and precision. Challenge AI golfers head-to-head and prove you can conquer the very course you created. Feel the satisfaction of threading a drive down a tight fairway you designed, or sinking a clutch putt on a green you sculpted by hand. There's nothing quite like teeing off on a hole you created and discovering just how tough, or how rewarding, your design really is.

Dive deep into the data behind your course with a powerful suite of analysis tools. Study the beauty of your landscape through visual heatmaps and examine your terrain with detailed elevation overlays. Track how AI golfers tackle your holes with shot analysis that reveals driving patterns, approach tendencies, and where players thrive or struggle. Every tool gives you the insight to refine, rebalance, and perfect your design, turning raw creativity into a course that plays as brilliantly as it looks.

Take charge of the business side of running a golf course. Keep a close eye on your finances, monitor income from green fees, track expenses, and make smart decisions to keep your course profitable. Hire and manage a team of groundskeepers to maintain your fairways, tend your greens, and keep bunkers in pristine condition. A well-maintained course attracts more golfers and earns a stronger reputation, while neglecting upkeep will see standards slip and visitors dwindle. Balancing the books with boots on the ground is the key to building a course that thrives. It takes more than great design to run a world-class golfing destination.

I miss Sim Golf, hopeful this keeps getting better. Not bad as is Update Getting better. Still not a full game but it's headed in a good direction.
Found this game on YouTube after searching for a ton of golf content. I was looking for a little bit more realistic GolfTopia and was hooked with this. The developers are highly responsive as I found a quirk which they insta-fixed. I highly recommend this game - it's really good.
Somehow worse than Sid Meier's Sim Golf which is almost 22 years old. Devoid of any fun, charm or excitement. Needs significant updates to make this playable
Game literally can't be played. Managed to make 5 par 3 holes before I ran out of money (with paths). Even placing ONLY a tee box and green (no cart paths, no other options) I could only create 15 holes all par 3 before running out of money with no way to earn without finishing 18 hole course. Actually Unplayable. Needs more tools and controls are terrible. Opening and testing a single hole should be possible and making a fringe around the green should be a button instead of a stressful trace exercise. I know this is a "beta" but you can't make ANY money at all with the current set up. Better off using MS Paint, You may feel it's unfair to charge full price, I feel it's unfair to charge any price for a game that can't be played at all. Requesting a refund.
Not ready for even EA by a long way seems more like a university project not a dev team. Give it a year or so and it might be better i hope.
I honestly can't express how grateful I am to have found this game. A game where I can build, manage, and nurture my very own golf course from the ground up. From designing the perfect fairways and placing bunkers just right. The attention to detail is incredible. There’s a calm, almost meditative joy in shaping the terrain and seeing visitors enjoy the course I created. And when things go wrong like when finances dip or when a poorly designed hole leaves golfers frustrated I enjoy problem solving and tweaking things to try and bring things back on track. I’m just so happy a game like this exists. It scratches that very specific itch I didn’t think we would ever get since Sid Meier's Sim Golf. For me this already beats it. And the fact this game is still in early access surely means the best is yet to come!
Solid concept and it would be nice to see a game like this fully developed. Recommending because I would like it to be finished.
NB! This game is extremely buggy. I recommend playing only in Sandbox mode. NPCs often get stuck, new days sometimes don’t load, and characters can enter an infinite waiting loop. While playing, I had to reload my save every 5 minutes just to get proper feedback from the NPCs. That said, the game is extremely fun to play because of how unique it is. I’m giving it a 7/10 and looking forward to a full, polished release without these bugs.
Requested refund, Tried for a couple hours but could not get surfaces to work. Hear sounds but did not react to mouse clicks. Great idea but not ready for release. Also raise and lower land does not respond to mouse click.
Very very promising game, sadly it seems like most updates seem to bring along more game-breaking bugs than any actual improvements. Waited a very long time for an update just for it to add groundskeepers and a mildly changed ui, which brought along many ui bugs, save files not saving progress, wasd movement breaking forcing you to restart the game and golfers getting completely stuck on one hole for no apparent reason. All of this didnt happen before and its kinda sad that one feature (that honestly is pretty pointless) has somehow manage to make an already buggy game pretty much unplayable for the time being. Hopefully the developer will spend more time and realise what an absolute gem this game could be, filling a massive hole in the gaming market. But for now I couldnt recommend anyone spending a penny on this.
