    Single Switch Golf is a golf game which has great potential.

    It's small, simple design has unfortunately led to a few things here which could have made this a fantastic golf game. It has the game play of mini golf and the style of real golf, which is quite a fun combination.

    However, this is let down by a lack of control over where you want the ball to go. Aiming is not a problem, it's actually quite easy (and fun) to aim the ball. If you land in the sand or in rough it becomes harder to aim, a nice touch.

    But controlling the speed of the ball, especially over short distances becomes a big nuisance. Firstly, the button does not work all the time. This means if you want to aim, and miss (due to not being able to keep the arrow in the right direction) then you will have to wait for the opportunity to come around again, then take your luck to see if it works this time around.

    Once you’ve aimed your shot you have to pick how much speed it has. If you want a little shot, to roll a bit, then you will chip the shot. But if you get out of the “chip zone” (the first column) then the ball will have too much speed.

    Putting is the same deal, you only have one shot at putting and if you miss your shot, then the ball will roll off somewhere and if it goes off the green, the whole cycle starts again.

    Though, it does have a secret level which can be unlocked by completing the first courses. Which will keep the more competitive players returning for more.
