Our Expert Score

80/100

Par 3 Golf is the perfect 'waiting in line' game. It doesn't try to be a massive PGA Tour simulation; instead, it focuses on the charm of short-course golf. The wind physics are actually quite challenging, forcing you to think about your club selection even on a short 120-yard hole.

The graphics have a classic, nostalgic feel that reminds me of early arcade golf games. The controls are simple—tap to aim, then time your swing—making it accessible for anyone. It’s a great little sports sim that emphasizes precision over power.

Gameplays

Perfect Putting

Once on the green, look at the grid lines to see the slope. Tap and pull back on the putter to adjust your power. A soft touch is usually better for downhill putts!
