Whether you’re a mini-golf pro or someone who just likes watching their friends descend into a pit of salt-induced rage, Golf With Your Friends has likely crossed your radar. But the Amazon Game Night Edition (part of the reimagined Amazon Luna GameNight collection) is a total game-changer for local parties.
If you’ve ever tried to host a 12-player game night only to realise you only own two working controllers and a half-broken joystick, this edition was made for you.
The “No-Controller” Revolution
The standout feature of the Amazon Game Night Edition is how it handles multiplayer. Instead of a pile of expensive hardware, your smartphone is the controller.
- Scan the QR Code: A code pops up on your TV (via Fire TV or any Luna-supported device).
- Join the Lobby: Everyone scans it with their phone camera.
- Start Putting: Your touchscreen becomes your power meter and aiming tool.
It effectively removes the “hardware barrier” to entry. Up to 12 people can jump into a match simultaneously, making it one of the few games that can actually involve everyone in the room at once without taking turns.
Why This Edition Hits Different
Golf With Your Friends has always been about simultaneous play—no waiting for your friend to finish their 15th stroke on a Par 3. The Game Night Edition lean into this “organized chaos” with:
- The Classic Course List: You get access to the fan-favourite themed courses, from the explosive Worms battlefield to the trap-filled Pirate Cove.
- Power-Up Sabotage: It wouldn’t be a party without a little betrayal. You can pick up power-ups to encase your friend’s ball in ice, trap them in sticky honey, or—my personal favourite—turn their ball into a giant, un-rollable cube.
- Alternate Modes: If standard mini-golf feels too tame, you can switch to Hockey mode (complete with a goalie) or Hoops mode (where you have to jump the ball into a basketball net).
Zero Setup, Max Chaos
Because this version runs through Amazon Luna, there’s no massive 50GB download or “checking for updates” while your guests stand around awkwardly. It streams directly to your TV. For Amazon Prime members, it’s often included in the rotating Prime Gaming selection, making it a high-value “free” addition to your digital library.
Is It Worth It?
If you’re playing solo, the standard Steam or Console versions are great. But if you are the designated “Game Night Host,” the Amazon Game Night Edition is arguably the superior version. It turns your living room into a high-tech arcade where the only thing people need to bring is their phone and a healthy tolerance for losing.
Pro-Tip: Enable Ball Collision in the settings. It makes the game twice as long and ten times as funny as you start physically knocking your friends off the map.
