Evaluation

WHAT THE GOLF? launched on October 22, 2020 and has received a long-running stream of free themed content updates since release. The most recent updates visible in the developer's news include: an Among Golf episode (November 9, 2023), a Slime Time update (January 15, 2024), Tour de What cycling levels (May 27, 2024), a Wimblegolf tennis-themed update (July 1, 2024), an International Cat Day update (August 6, 2024), a Halloween "Beware of the Bogeyman" update (October 25, 2024), and a bug fix patch on December 12, 2024 that also teased an upcoming New Year's event running from December 23, 2024 through January 5, 2025. The store description invites players to "come back every day to play new courses," reinforcing an ongoing content model. There are no unreleased DLC entries, and the only DLC is a soundtrack released October 22, 2021. Triband has posted no statement concluding content development. The most recent developer communication was December 12, 2024. As of October 8, 2026, that is approximately 10 months of silence — longer than the 1–4 month update cadence established through 2023–2024. However, the store description's "come back every day" language and the general nature of the seasonal/event-driven update model (which naturally has variable gaps) leave some ambiguity. The gap since December 2024 does exceed the historical cadence window, but the developer has made no statement about ending updates, and the store page retains its daily-content framing. On balance, the sustained historical pattern and lack of any completion or wind-down statement support treating the game as still in an active update cycle, though the extended silence since December 12, 2024 means this assessment carries moderate rather than high confidence.

About this game


Sure, it has ‘golf’ in the title but that’s about where the similarity to golf ends. WHAT THE GOLF? is at heart a comedy game with puzzles, challenges and loads of surprises. Okay, so there’s a bit of what you might recognise as golf in there but loads more of what definitely isn’t! Confused? Excellent!




Try Sporty Sports!, It’s Snowtime, A Hole New World or one of the hundreds of other incomprehensible levels, featuring toasters, hot dogs, office chairs and a multitude of utterly random objects.




Come back every day to play new courses and win a bunch of more or less useful prizes.




Feeling inspired? Create your own silly level with our level editor and get it out there in the world.




Grab your clubs (string of sausages, frozen rubber glove, it doesn’t matter which) and tee off into a hilarious anarchic world. Share your screen with a friend via Steam Remote Play Together and spread the crazy.





To be honest, so do we. And that’s the beauty of WHAT THE GOLF? A game made for people who hate golf, by people with no clues about or respect for the game. Let’s play!
