“Get in the hole!” We just shouted that. Out loud. In public. And so will you when your ball is bouncing toward the cup in a tense game of Golf Clash. Face other duffers from around the world in brisk, one-hole matches as you drive, pitch, and putt your way up the leaderboards.

What we love: The simplicity. Hitting a real golf ball takes intense focus, tons of heavy equipment, and flawless mechanics. In Golf Clash, drag back, line up the arrow, and let ’er rip! Each speedy match is over in a jiffy too—you’ll be on to your next opponent faster than you can scream “Fore!”

Quick tip: Tap the ball icon before you swing to apply spin. Backspin helps you stick it on the green, while topspin comes in handy if you’re hoping to get a little extra distance. Need to bend it around a tree? Try some sidespin!
