What you do in Golf Director

Design every hole
Drag the tee, the bends and the green, and the par follows the yardage. Drop pot bunkers, lakes, creeks and copses, rotate and resize them, and watch difficulty, appeal and the price change as you go. Or start from a library of 75 ready-made holes.
Grow a real club
Your club rating comes from the course and the facilities: clubhouse, pro shop, range, greens and carts. A better club draws more members at a higher fee, but every hole you add costs more to build, to keep and to staff than the last.
Host the open
Start with a one-day Club Championship for your members. Open nine holes and join the pro tour, then climb from Challenger to Regional, National and Major, with four-day events, a cut after Friday and a Sunday leaderboard.
Do the deals
Sign title sponsors and partners for one, two or three seasons, with signing bonuses and renewals. Sell TV rights once you're on the tour, run campaigns to build hype, and court ranked pros with appearance fees.
Run the books
Green fees, memberships, bar takings and sponsorship against upkeep, crews, rates and payroll. Borrow interest-only or on a repayment loan, with rates that float with an economy that has its own good and bad years.
Pick your ground
Six countries, from Scotland to the UAE, each with its own demand, prices, costs and sponsor market, and three landscapes: lush parkland, firm heathland or wild coastal links.

About Golf Director

You start with two holes, a clubhouse and about $1.85 million, more on Relaxed and less on Tough. Everything else you build.

Golf Director is turn-based. A season is 52 weeks: spend each week's three actions on building, deals and players, then advance the week. When tournament week comes, the calendar holds while you play the event a day at a time, from a one-day members' championship to a four-day Major.

Pick one of six countries and one of three landscapes. Scotland is full of golfers who won't pay much; the UAE has few players but lavish sponsors and a water bill to match. Parkland draws members, links is cheap to keep.

Optional purchases add cash to a club, or unlock Signature Holes (island greens, stone bridges and lighthouses), the Resort Hotel and Grandstands, and Golf Empire, with a sister course abroad and a junior academy.

No ads, no tracking, no timers. Plays offline, and every purchase is optional.

Golf Director FAQ

Does Golf Director have ads?

No. There are no ads of any kind, no subscriptions, no energy timers and no watching videos for rewards.

Are there in-app purchases?

Yes, and they're all optional. The whole game, from two holes to a Major, plays without them. They add in-game cash to a club, or unlock Signature Holes, Resort & Grandstands and Golf Empire, alone or together as the Complete Collection.

Do I play the golf?

No. You run the club and the tournament, not the players. Rounds are simulated from the course, your set-up, the weather and each player's rating, and you follow the leaderboard day by day.

Can I design my own holes?

Yes. Every hole is drawn by you: drag the tee, up to three bends and the green, then place bunkers, water and trees. Par, difficulty, appeal, cost and build time all follow from the routing. The library has 75 ready-made holes to start from.

Is it real time or turn-based?

Turn-based. Each turn is one week of a 52-week season, and nothing happens until you advance it, so you can put the game down at any point.

Can I play Golf Director offline?

Yes. The game plays fully offline. Purchases go through the App Store.

Which devices does it run on?

Golf Director is for iPhone and needs iOS 26 or later.

Are the players and tournaments real?

No. The countries are real places, but every player, club, tournament, sponsor and broadcaster in the game is invented, and the game isn't affiliated with any real tour, event or club.

What data does the game collect?

None. Golf Director has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your saves stay on your phone, with up to three clubs at a time. The privacy policy has the details.
