About Turbo Golf Racing
Turbo Golf Racing is a fast-paced arcade-style sports racing game for up to eight players, all competing to see whose speed-putting skills are up to par. Racers flip, glide and dash their turbo-charged cars down winding fairways as they strike their oversized golf balls toward the finishing cup.
RACE YOUR RIVALS TO THE FINISH
Welcome to the future of motorsports. Feel the excitement of fast-paced arcade-style racing as you tee off with your friends in an exhilarating new way. Jump, flip, glide, boost, and dash with turbocharged cars and be the first to get your ball in the hole.
EIGHT PLAYERS ONLINE
Race against seven other competitors in a Grand Prix-style competition. Hit the boost pads to charge past your rivals, take secret tunnels to outwit them, and fire missiles to stop them in their tracks.
POWER CORES
Get the edge over your rivals by unlocking and equipping Power Cores. Hit your ball further, fly faster, and use unique abilities such as Ground Stomp and Gravitate Ball and Roll. With a wide variety of Power Cores, fine-tune your setup to outwit your friends.
TURBO-CHARGE YOUR CUSTOMISATION
Choose the car and ball that makes you stand out from the crowd. Enjoy endless paint options, and change your wheels, spoiler, shield, car body, and boosters.
TAKE TO THE SKIES
The sky’s the limit when your cars have wings. Launch your turbo-powered car into the air and fly past the competition. Zip through tunnels, glide over fans, and chase your ball over obstacles.
TACKLE THE TERRAIN
Use the terrain to your advantage. Launch over the boost pads, and down the fairway. Avoid the rough and the sand traps. Bend your shots around trees and through canyons. Race to the green.
EVER-GROWING CONTENT
Unlock items as you level up and enjoy an ever-growing game with regular free updates that will bring new courses, new Power Cores, and new cosmetics.
Turbo Golf Racing supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Portuguese – Brazil interface localisations.
