With Your Friends
21 Accessibility Features

Golf With Your Friends is a miniature golf simulation game where you hit your ball around increasingly extravagant and ridiculous courses. Along with the usual putting, your ball can fly a short distance on some courses, and jump to reach new sections or take shortcuts. With the capacity for both online and offline multiplayer, as well as a single-player mode, it offers a laid-back way to connect with friends and family over a competitive yet lighthearted game.

We've documented 21 accessibility features for Golf With Your Friends, including Fully Voiced (Or No Speech), Low Pressure, Custom Difficulty, No Button Combos and No Repeated Pressing. Its accessibility is strongest in Controls and Getting Started but it also has features in Reading, Visual, Audio, Difficulty and Communication to reduce unintended barriers.

This report is created from our extensive research, input from other accessibility experts and the player community, and information provided by the developer on the game's store pages.


Our accessibility examiner, Ben Kendall, first checked Golf With Your Friends accessibility 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Thom Robertson and updated 5 days ago.

NotesAccessibility Notes

Your time to beat each level is limited, and if you don't get to the hole within the time, you fail. However, you can adjust the limit per round to infinite when you select the mode, making the game low-pressure.

When playing in local multiplayer matches, you have to pass around the controller, so every player has to use the same controller, ie, one player cannot use an Xbox Adaptive Controller while other players use a standard controller.

While text is extremely minimal, much of it is small and doesn't always contrast well with the background.

Even though there is no motion blur or depth of field, camera movement can become very frenetic when your ball is in motion, which may induce motion sickness in some players.
