Golf

Overview

Golf is a full minigame in Grand Theft Auto V, set at the Los Santos Golf Club. It opens after Franklin's mission *Complications* and can be played by Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton or Trevor Philips. A round costs $100 at the entrance. It counts toward 100% completion under Hobbies & Pastimes. Golf is also available in GTA Online.

Walkthrough

1. Go to the Los Santos Golf Club entrance and pay $100.
2. Pick a club and stroke type, set your aim and preset the power for each shot.
3. Drive the Caddy to the next shot, or skip the drive.
4. On the green, use the slope grid to line up putts.
5. Play nine holes and finish even or under par to win.

Tips

• Wind strength and direction affect long shots, and rain slows both greens and fairways.
• Rough and sand traps change how the ball comes off the club. Water and out of bounds cost penalty strokes.
• Add spin just after contact to shape fades and draws.
• Playing alone, you can face up to three NPC opponents, starting with Todd Rosenweig. Tougher opponents, such as Aaron Ingram and Jeff Miller, unlock after you beat the easier ones.
• The protagonists can also golf together as a friend activity. Whoever suggests the game pays for both rounds, unless they own the club.

Rewards and unlocks

• Winning one game, nine holes at even or below par, counts toward 100% completion.
• Personal bests such as longest drive and closest to the pin are tracked, with an on-screen message each time you improve one.
