- Update 0.9.4.2 - New Thumbstick Swing Meter & VR Quality of Life Improvements - 25 April 2021
New Thumbstick Swing Meter Many fans requested the ability to swing with the gamepad thumbstick. In this update, we make this dream come true. Here is how it works: Step 1: Press A to pull up your swing meter. Step 2: Pull down on the left thumbstick to set which direction the ball will curve. The further away from center you pull back your thumbstick, the more the ball flight will curve. The red marker gives visual guidance on where to pull the thumbstick to hit a straight shot. Step 3: Push forward on the left thumbstick to set power and initial ball flight direction. Try to time the push forward with the desired power. The little flag icon will give a hint on how hard to hit the ball. It doesn't take into consideration wind and other course conditions, you have to figure those parts out. ;-) If you push the thumbstick directly forward into the red marker, the ball flight will start d…

- Update 0.9.3 - Lots of Bots and More! - 3 April 2020
Hello All! We are back and we have a nice update for you all. Let's jump right into it! Bot Speech Bubbles Whenever you are playing a bot and they complete a hole, land in the water, or launch a ball out of bounds, they will now share a fun or comedic comment on how they feel about their accomplishment (or lack of). We are very excited about these new speech bubbles as they add a lot more life and entertainment when playing with bots. Speaking of playing with bots... Play with up to 7 Bots at a Time When you beat a bot, you can play against them in online or local gameplay modes. With a little bit of programming magic, we have made it where you can play with up to 7 bots at a time. You can even configure which types of bots you want to play with, such as random, easy, medium, hard, or competitive. You can even turn them off if you prefer. I have to admit, playing a match with bots every…
- Update 0.9.2 - Putt Preview and More - 1 April 2019
Thanks for all your great feedback on the latest patch. Here are a couple more things we added in with this patch specifically because you requested it. Putt Preview You told us putting was hard and you needed a better way to read the greens. In this patch we introduce putt preview. It works the same whether you are in VR or Non-VR mode. Simply push the putt preview button and watch as preview golf balls simulate the break of the green. Keep in mind, the putt preview is not there to show you exactly where to aim. You still have to account for power and speed which can change how much a putt breaks. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33435682%2Fe9e6f6ef16ad7f5e4d850f173c1056618893cec5.jpg Flag Stick indicator on Swing Meter You told us it is not always easy to calculate power percentage for less than 100% shots. For less than 100% shots, we added a flag stic…

- Oculus Cross-Platform Multiplayer Now Available. - 4 October 2018
As of today (October 3, 2018), Tee Time Golf is now available on the Oculus Store. This means you will be able to play online multiplayer matches with people who buy the game there. We even support cross-platform voice chat, so you will be able to chat with Oculus platform players too. When in an online match, if you notice a gamer with a white icon/avatar/pic with the Tee Time logo, it is very likely they are a cross-platform player. As an additional bonus, player created courses are cross-platform as well. Any course an Oculus Platform player creates and publishes will be playable by Steam players. The same goes in reverse, where courses created by Steam players will be available for Oculus players to play. This is cool because it means more people will be playing and rating your courses. Leaderboards, however, will still be unique to each platform. We put quite a bit of effort into m…

- Update to version 0.7.1 now available. - 2 September 2018
Version 0.7.1 is now available. In this update we addressed the following issues: Cross Region people can now play against each other. In previous builds, it was impossible for people in North America to play matches against people in Europe. With this update, we default everyone to the North American matchmaking services. We are looking into allowing everyone to select which server they want to connect to for matchmaking. The nasty bug where you play a couple of holes and then the game freezes has been fixed. How to know when you have the patch? When you start up the game reach the main menu, on the bottom left of the screen near the twitter icon is the build version. Your build version will say 0.7.1. If it does not, then you may need to close the game and restart the game. If that does not work, then you may need to close the Steam client and reopen to force an update. Thanks and Enj…
