Bugs Found in Idle Golf Club Manager Tycoon for iOS
Idle Golf Club Manager Tycoon is a fascinating game for those who love the business side of golf, not only the sport itself. It gives you the chance to build and manage a golf club, from a single hole to an organization with hundreds of members. The players are building their dream golf course and running tournaments, while also managing every detail of the business, including designing a sports lounge where you can truly relax.
From the perspective of a sports and management game, Idle Golf stands out for its scope and versatility. However, during testing, we discovered a few bugs that critically affect the player’s experience. Read QAwerk’s detailed report below and learn what the current game weaknesses are and how they can be remedied.

While testing the game, I identified several issues ranging from minor to critical severity. The most significant problems affect core gameplay functionality, preventing users from creating an association and using available reward spins. I recommend performing comprehensive functional and UI/UX testing across different user scenarios to ensure the stability, consistency, and usability of all features.
