This isn’t just about whacking balls into the rough—Under Par Golf Architect lets players create an entire golfing empire, from lush putting greens to scenic bunkers, all while tailoring the layout to their own aesthetic and design philosophies.
“This open playtest is a key moment in our development process,” said Yves Hohler, co-founder and creative director at Broken Arms Games. “We’re excited to open the doors to the community and gather feedback on the overall user experience.”
Players can request access directly through the game’s Steam page with no key required, and feedback is welcomed via Discord or the team’s online forms.
But that’s not all—Under Par Golf Architect is also teeing up something special for the Future Games Show Summer Showcase, airing on Saturday, June 7 at 9 PM BST. Expect fresh content and a deeper look into the development of this promising simulation title.
So, whether you’re a golf sim veteran or a total newcomer, there’s never been a better time to take your first swing.
