## Review summary

Golfing Around is praised for its simple, relaxing gameplay and the standout ability to create and play user-made courses, making it a good time-killer for casual players. However, users repeatedly report ad-related issues that undermine the purchase, distracting from the experience. Aiming/putting can be frustrating due to accuracy issues, and the official course selection is limited, though user-created content helps. Overall, the core concept shines, but ad reliability and control/content gaps detract from the experience.

### Pros

- Custom course creation and the ability to share and play user-made courses.
- Simple, relaxing, casual golf gameplay that’s easy to pick up.
- Good for passing time and as a light time-killer.

### Cons

- Ads persist even after paying to remove them, and the purchase can require restoration on each launch.
- Ads interrupt gameplay, appearing during play or after shots/bogeys.
- Aiming and putting mechanics can be imprecise and require constant adjustment.
- Official content is limited (only four courses) despite the strong user-created-course feature.
