WHAT THE GOLF? is a brilliantly absurd, physics-based parody of golf that celebrates the “anti-golf” sentiment. Developed by Triband, it takes the basic concept of hitting an object toward a hole and devolves it into pure, slapstick chaos. One moment you are swinging a golf club, the next you are launching the golfer himself, a house, a car, or even a literal office chair. It is a game that thrives on subverting expectations at every turn, ensuring that the only thing predictable about it is its unpredictability.
The game is structured as a series of bite-sized experiments within a mysterious “Golf Lab” hub. With over 500 levels and a massive “A Hole New World” update that added even more content, the variety is staggering. You’ll encounter levels inspired by legendary titles like Super Mario, Portal, and Superhot, all recontextualized through the lens of physics-based “golfing.” It’s a comedy game first and a sports game last, perfect for short sessions or local multiplayer madness. If you’ve ever found traditional golf too serious or boring, this game is essentially a hilarious middle finger to the sport’s rigid rules, replacing them with pure, unadulterated joy.
