Special thanks to the testers at the discord!
Oh, this is wonderful! Love how chill and low-pressure this is.
Think I might play through again and try to collect all the golf carts people left in the middle of the course, just for fun.
Such a lovely time! I've loved following along with the development of this, and the final product is amazing!

Having a lot of fun! The part where you can't aim very precisely really helps take the pressure off - I can just go all in on it and if I drop it in the water or in the sand trap or in a tree it's not a big deal because it's not like I can aim that well anyway.
45 is my best game so far :)
Hole 6 took 10 strokes :facepalm:
The game presentation is top notch. I love the way it looks and I love the way it sounds.
Not easy to do with PICO-8!
This is an amazing game. I love you the controls feel with both the player and the golf ball aiming
Im assuming this is a great result.
(edit) yay I improved my score to 37 =)
This is such a fun game. The two ways of aiming shots, with a simple radius indicator for the less accurate long shots and a more traditional power meter for the accurate putts make the game really easy to pick up and play. Most of all, I love the sense of anarchy when you get to drive golf buggies through signs and sink them in the lake, a little bit of subversiveness goes a long way. >:)
Found a bug while playing around. I hit the ball from hole 3 i think onto the fairway(?) of hole 7 before shooting down/south back to the original hole. I got it just by the trees, chipped it into the putting field but was stuck inside the trees and could no longer move. Was on my phone and forgot to capture a screenshot to show exactly where. Its fun though! Enjoyed running over the poles XD
This is one if my favorite games in the site !
Very good !!
I really love how everything is thought out here like drawning in a pond with a golf cart or bumping the ball in it
When I realised you could get into the golf carts 🤯
Great game! thanks for making it :)
holy cow, the fact you have little tyre tracks, and the fact you can smash the flasgs down with the carts and break the number signs....amazing. i also found a cool tactic for using the carts as barriers to stop my ball going where i dont want it,. in one case i overshot and it bouced off the cart near the green and went straight in the hole. so the fat ou can tecnically do trick shots, is awesome. it reminds me of the golf experience in GTA V. that was the most realistic golf game i'd played ever. just the fact you had to walk or drive to your ball, and werent instantly transported to it, made such a difference to the realism of the game, and i love you've implemented that here......maybe a sequel?????? hmmmmmm????????
wink wink.....nudge nudge.
Also just noticed with my keen colourblind eyes....there's a trailof blood leading to a little cabin just off to the side of the 4th.....a smell a mystery.
what...no its not a path...its blood...its defo blood, i can feel theres secrets to find, and i will find the bodies and killer of said bodies....its that guy at the front desk....now i know what happened to all the other golfers..
Such a fun game. I love how many little details there are, that dont really have to be there but just enrich the experience. Really great stuff.
I don't like golf games and this is a great little gem!
It's absolutely wonderful - an amazing game with so many little details.
I've been playing this every time I go out to smoke. its a super fun way to kill a few minutes
25 is my best so far 
Golf is a boring game yet this is my favorite cart so far. My best score is 31 and I'm irrationally mad because I flubbed 3 putts. I eagerly anticipate the steam release
Great work. Very well presented and easy to pick up. Has a great vibe to it.
Duuuuuuude this game is so cute. I absolutely love this. Amazing work <3
I apologize for not seeing this earlier, @johanp. What a marvelous little golf game.
Linear games are great but having a free run like this one does is a special kind of enjoyment. Superbly done !
I love the fact you can run all over the place and use the golf cart to create mayhem. :) Gold star all the way.
Just found this thanks to a Pico Playtime video, but...
@D0S81, I don't think it's blood. It looks just like the regular dirt trail. It's probably not a cabin as much as a service shed.
I'd love if this game had something more and something sinister with it (just don't go the route of mascot horror please), but for now it looks like just a well over programmed golf game.
It‘s a great golf game and this soles from someone who likes the gerne and played already a couple. Interesting take on the aim and shoot mechanic, though I‘m not the biggest fan of the putting.
And I love the fact you have to run around the map or drive the carts — I pitched this idea two weeks ago a friend and now I find a game with it implemented.
Best score so far: 31
i got stuck in the trees after hitting the ball from here. i dont remember what hole it was on. 7 or 8 maybe?
I thought this was great, a really chill couple of holes with a very simple approach, and the addition of driving the golf cart, chefs kiss. definitely a fave for me
The way you aim the shot and all is amazing! I just love the detail of the tire tracks of the golf cart getting darker when you do a donut or something! Overall, probably one of my favorite pico 8 games.
I love when the dude says "Don't wreck the carts" because thats exactly what you're going to do.
