Footgolf Challenge is a clever hybrid that takes the precision of golf and the physics of soccer and mashes them together into a surprisingly addictive sports game. Instead of clubs, you're using your finger to determine the power and curve of your kick. The transition from fairway to green (or 'large hole') feels natural, and the level design does a great job of using terrain to make you think about your approach.

The physics are the standout feature. You can really feel the weight of the ball and how it reacts to hills, bunkers, and the wind. It strikes a good balance between 'casual fun' and 'technical challenge.' While the early holes are quite forgiving, later stages introduce hazards like water and trees that require you to master the 'swerve' shot. It’s a great pick for sports fans looking for something a little different from your standard golf or football mobile game.

Dinsun Review

Footgolf is a legitimate sport, but this app treats it like a generic 'angry-birds-style' physics template. The ball physics are floaty and inconsistent—one moment you have a perfect arc, the next the ball bounces like it’s made of flubber. There is no sense of weight or turf interaction. The courses are unimaginative, and the 'challenge' usually comes down to annoying wind RNG rather than skill. As someone who grew up with Tiger Woods PGA Tour and FIFA, seeing them mashed into this shallow experience is disappointing. It's a low-effort cash grab designed for the 'free-to-play' carousel, offering nothing that a thousand other physics games haven't done better ten years ago.

Performance improvements.
Footgolf is a sport in which players kick a football into a cup or a goal in as few shots as possible. FootGolf Challenge uses a simplified set of rules, where you just need to stay clear of water to avoid penalties. The whole course is par 72, which means the best players need 72 shots to finish it. If you manage to play better than that, you can make it to the global top 12 chart. Good luck!
Controls: Tap and hold to start the run-up, slide left or right to aim, slide up or down to adjust the vertical angle. Release the touch to kick the ball. After releasing the touch (before the actual kick) you can apply a back spin by an additional short tap.
Requires iOS 12.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Tips

Controlling the Curve

To bypass obstacles like trees, swipe in a curved motion. The more aggressive the curve of your finger, the more the ball will bend in the air. Use this to 'hook' the ball around corners on par-5 holes.

Gameplays

Managing the Wind

Always check the wind indicator at the top of the screen. A strong crosswind will carry your ball off course. Aim slightly into the wind to compensate for the drift during long-distance kicks.
