About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever found yourself waiting for a coffee or commuting and wishing you had a quick game to play? Paper Apps: Golf is your new pocket-sized-companion! Forget bulky boards; this game comes in a handy-sized notebook format (3x5 inches with coil binding) that fits anywhere. It's the ultimate travel companion for gamers who love quick-fire-sessions. Each notebook is unique, featuring randomly generated-style-layouts that keep the experience fresh every single time you open it.

Inside, you'll find three different golf courses, each consisting of 18 holes. The gameplay follows an engaging roll-and-write loop where you attempt to navigate diverse terrains to reach the hole in the fewest strokes possible. The courses aren' are just flat paths; they are filled with hazards like rough grass, sand traps, water hazards, and trees. You'll need to make tactical decisions: do you go for a risky long shot over a water hazard, or play it safe on the fairway to set up a better next move? Landing on the fairway gives you a boost, while sand-trapped shots will definitely hinder your progress. It's a delightful blend of luck-of-the-dice and risk management that makes every hole feel like a mini-challenge. If you love solitaire games that are easy to learn but hard to master, this little notebook is a must-have for your bag!
