What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in December 2025. 85 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 67 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Golf It! ($4.49, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Supraball (free, scores 42).
Players rate it 87 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 79 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 9 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 5,593 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 6.3 hours. Doing everything runs 28, 4.4 times as long.
It came out 6 years ago and 979 were still playing it at the last check.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.3 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
I bought this game to play with my friend. Sad that friend is no longer with me so this game is kinda useless now...
The physics feel frustratingly inconsistent and unreliable. Hockey mode is especially buggy, but even standard golf suffers from clipping through tracks, bouncing off invisible objects, and tiny elevation seams that make supposedly flat surfaces unpredictable. These issues regularly undermine the game.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Golf With Your Friends scores 73/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/431240/golf-with-your-friendsThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
