Most negative reviews are from people who lost a match or 2 in the game. For real reviews you need to look-up the game on Apple App store or Google Play.
There is no other golf game on web or mobile that allows you to play on real golf courses. The game play and even the equipment in the game is designed to mimic real golf.
And as in real life golf, better equipment gets better results (which is not to say that someone with the best equipment can actually outperform someone with higher skill.!)
The Apple App Store rating speaks for quality of the game -https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/golf-mobile/id*******?mt=8 ( Over more than 17,000 5 star ratings!) Don't let a bunch of sore losers spoil the fun for you.
