Speed Golf Royale — press kit

Golf is a race. Tee off with 19 other players at once, sprint to your ball and get it in the hole first. Every stroke adds a second to your time, so a fast 6 can beat a slow 4. Golf carts, cannons, saw traps and power-ups keep it chaotic. No waiting your turn. No pay-to-win.

History
Speed Golf Royale takes its scoring from speed golf, the real sport where your score is strokes plus time, and puts a whole lobby on the same hole at once.

Mainframe Games is a two-person studio in New Zealand. The Steam page opened in March 2023, and the game has been built in the open since, with players testing builds through the Discord.

The free demo is on Steam now. The full game is planned for 2027.
