Golf is one of those sports where you either love it or hate it. It’s definitely not for everyone and the fact that the game itself requires such precision and technical know how doesn’t exactly make it the easiest sport to pick up. Video game golf however is a bit easier to play, but the time it takes to play a round of golf might be too long for your average casual gamer. With that said, I’ve put together a little list of my personal favorite golf games. I chose these because they are very different from other golf games I’ve played in the past that concentrated too much on realism and less on fun. The three I’ve listed are the ones that I’ve found most fun and different with their own approach of making the game of golf fun for all.

Par Out Golf – $1.99 – Universal App – We reviewed this game yesterday here and really enjoyed the overall golf experience that the game provided. This is the first and only golf game that I’ve played which uses drawing mechanics to play the game. What also makes this game different is that you must first study the course before making the shot due to the fact that the course will be covered up when it’s time to draw your balls path. You have to visualize the course and hope you don’t hit any obstacles.

Flick Golf – $0.99 – iPhone – I’ve been playing this game for a couple days now and can tell you that this isn’t your average golf game. You don’t play a regular round of 18 hole golf here. Instead, Flick Golf is about the drive and how accurate you can be getting the ball to the hole in 1 shot. You use your finger to flick the ball and then swipe the ball in the air to get it to spin in the direction you want it to go. The goal is to either get it into the hole or as close to the hole as you can. Pretty much any player of any skill level can play this game and it’s hard to put down once you start.

Super Stickman Golf – $0.99 – Universal App – When you think of golf games, you usually picture something in 3D. Super Stickman Golf goes against the norm and provides a completely 2D golf experience that is surprisingly fun and challenging. You play by adjusting the angle and power of how you want to hit the ball. What makes the game fun are the out of this world courses that the developers have come up with and the simplicity of it all. Super Stickman Golf a unique take on the classic game of golf.
