Quick Review: Let’s Golf HD (iPad)
Price: $4.99
App Store Link: Full / No Lite Version
Verdict: Love it
Replay Value: High
Pros:
Breathtaking scenery; simple but fun; currently the best golf game on the iPad.
Cons:
Casual mode maybe too easy; advanced mode too hard; unlocking customizable looks takes too long. There's also a bug in the app that sometimes causes the game to lose sound and a device restart is required to get it back. All that said, this is still a great game.
Lasting Appeal:
The game offers a decent amount of content with 4 unique courses, 63 holes, and four different golfers. The game offers hours of original gameplay, and if you enjoy the casual play, the app may find a permanent place on your device; however, after too much repetitive play might, players might find themselves memorizing the best approach to certain courses.
Bottom Line:
Let's Golf HD is without a doubt the best golf game currently available on iPad. Various elements, such as the game's cartoonish characters & simple club selection, may be initially off-putting for more serious golf-gamers, but the beautiful scenery and light-hearted approach make this an enjoyable and refreshing app for casual gameplay without completely eliminating the challenge for serious gamers.
Repurchase if you own iPhone version:
Maybe. Like many other iPhone to iPad ports, there's no new content here, but if you're dying for a golf game on your iPad and don't want to pixel double, Let's Golf HD is still your best bet.
