Golf Orbit is on this list as the simple offline option, not as an online golf game. TapNation's App Store listing describes a one-button timing game: you tap when a moving arrow reaches the green zone to set angle and power, and try to send the ball as far as possible. The listing subtitle calls it an offline idle game, and the listing does not describe online multiplayer, so it suits flights, kids and anyone who wants golf without accounts or opponents. It holds 4.7 out of 5 from about 59,000 US App Store ratings, has a 4+ age rating and does not list loot boxes. The catch is the business model: the listing discloses ads, and TapNation sells Premium subscriptions at $7.99 a week, $19.99 a month or $99.99 a year, which is steep for a casual game. One-off gem packs start at $1.99.
