Dangerous Golf combines elements present in the Burnout series, a shooter called Black, and a classic basketball arcade game NBA Jam. These influences are very easy to notice. During the game hitting the ball into the hole is not the main target. The title presents an extreme variation of golf in which the action takes place in untypical places, like a hotel kitchen, a palace ballroom, a gas station etc. By causing destruction, you gather points and money that you can spend on your golfer’s technique development and unlocking new shots and tricks. While bouncing off various surfaces and objects, the ball speeds up, catches fire, and spreads it all around.
Dangerous Golf published on PC, PS4 and XONE is powered by Unreal Engine 4. Having worked closely with Epic and Nvidia, the developers adjusted the engine for their needs and utilised the newest advancements in physics simulation of objects. Thanks to that, players can breaks different items into thousands of tiny bits and watch their complex interactions.

Game Ratings for Dangerous Golf Video Game.
Shacknews: 3 / 10 by Daniel Perez
A golf game developed by some of the people who brought us Burnout seemed like a great idea on paper, but it was poorly executed as globetrotting means nothing in this game, it isn’t very well optimized on PC, and its repetitive gameplay can get old real fast. The only saving grace Dangerous Golf has is its multiplayer modes, especially it’s party mode. Although I’m sure you can find something else to play with friends that has both a good single- and multi-player experience.
ZTGD: 6.5 / 10 by Ken McKown
Dangerous Golf is a weird game. On paper it sounds perfect, exactly what I would want from the guys that made t-boning cars so much fun. However, in practice it feels empty. Nothing about it screams “one more hole.” Even with the changes they have made this is an empty game that lacks anything to keep me coming back for more.

… at its core, Dangerous Golf is about the apocalyptic destruction your golf ball causes
