Press release:
Madrid, SPAIN — Sept. 24, 2026 — Golf 5 MAX, the retro-inspired arcade golf game and spinoff of the Golf 5 VR simulator series developed by LENYA DIGITAL and published by AAA Game Studios, seeks greatness on the green on PC via Steam on Monday, Nov 2nd, 2026. Participate in the Founder’s Cup 2 until Friday, Oct. 2nd, open now in the demo, for the chance to win Steam gift cards.

Tune in for tee time on seven beautiful courses for 18-hole rounds, color-calibrated in retro sports broadcasting aesthetics. Mind the wind, take aim, and swing with confidence as Golf 5’s signature realistic physics engine gives every stroke real-world results. Deliver dialed-in accuracy or unlock maximum power with an intuitive take on classic 3-click swing mechanics, engineered for unmatched control on the green.

Master Arcade mode’s “Birdie or bust” rules, where average scores can end the round in an instant. Race against the clock during “Time Attack”, tee off with up to three other opponents online across multiple modes. Win the most holes during Match Play, shoot the lowest score during Stroke Play. Practice from any hole and position with Practice Mode.

Reach the top of the tour by earning experience after every round with RPG‑style skill progression. Increase Power for more distance, Technique to strengthen sidespin, Consistency as well as Focus for more precise shot meters, and Putting to reach the cup with ease. Collect the official Mavrik and Epic collections from Callaway on the journey to the top of global leaderboards in official online tournaments of the International eGolf Federation.

Navigate the cactus-covered canyons of the Golden Dunes course, where punishing sands lie in wait beyond the rough. Water is in play for every shot as Tropical Paradise’s island greens send missed shots back to the tee box, and avoid looming branches blocking the air at the Forest Parkland course. The Colorado Desert Golf Club challenges players with natural rocky and water obstacles.

Watched over by the iconic lighthouse giving the course its name, Northcliff Lighthouse delivers a serene round of golf along the coast. Take in breathtaking mountain views on every hole at Safari Ridge, set in Kilimanjaro National Park. Play among cherry blossoms, traditional architecture, and peaceful Asian gardens at Kamikochi Valley Retreat Golf Club where precise, calm play is rewarded.

Play to the strengths of each golfer as they journey to etch their name into golf’s pantheon. Master the green with Rosita Moon’s perfect putting, marvel at Lachie “Longball” McDonald’s powerful swings, or rely on Greg Gifford’s balanced skillset. Five additional rivals offer distinct strengths and weaknesses.

“Classic arcade golf games had a natural tension, very similar to real-world golf,” said Antonio Marín, CEO and co-founder of AAA Game Studios.

“At any moment, your round could come to an end if you lose focus. Birdie or Bust mode captures that same suspense we all loved, without pocketfuls of quarters being at risk.”

Golf 5 MAX will step up to the tee on PC via Steam on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, for $12.99 USD, with English and Spanish language support. The Founder’s Cup 2 is now open in the demo, available on PC via Steam.
