Cursed to Golf Trophy Guide

You’ll basically unlock the “The GOAT?” trophy for starting the game. It unlocks extremely early and automatically in the story, which is pretty wild given that it is a gold trophy!

Not long after unlocking The GOAT?, you will unlock the “You’re on your own” trophy after being shown the ropes in Golf Purgatory by the Scotsman.

The Scotsman is the first boss you’ll need to face during the Cursed to Golf Story Campaign. After you’ve beat Hole 5, the next stage will be you vs the Scotsman in a lengthy challenge stage. Beat him to the hole and hole out first to unlock the “The Scotsman” trophy and progress the story further.

The “Front 9” trophy will unlock after you beat Hole 9, indicating that you have reached the halfway point of the Cursed to Golf campaign.

The Explorer is the second boss you’ll need to face during the Cursed to Golf Story Campaign. After you’ve beat Hole 9, the next stage will be you vs the Explorer in a lengthy challenge stage. Beat her to the hole and hole out first to unlock the “The Explorer” trophy and progress the story further.

The Forgotten is the third boss you’ll need to face during the Cursed to Golf Story Campaign. After you’ve beat Hole 15, the next stage will be you vs the Forgotten in a lengthy challenge stage. Beat her to the hole and hole out first to unlock the “The Forgotten” trophy and progress the story further.

The Greenskeeper is technically the fourth and final boss of Cursed to Golf, but you won’t really have to deal with him. His pet, Birdie, will instead harass you for the final three holes. If, however, you manage to reach and hole out on the 18th hole, the Greenskeeper will be defeated and you’ll be allowed to proceed through the short but challenge-less sprint to the game’s credits. Alongside the Back 9 trophy, then, you will also unlock this The Greenskeeper trophy for completing Hole 18.

The “Back 9” trophy will unlock once you have completed a full run of 18 holes, thus completing the story campaign. As such, you should unlock it alongside The Greenskeeper.

There are many reports of this trophy being glitched, but it seems to have been patched. I had no trouble earning this trophy and did so without actively pursuing it!

You will have noticed by now (as its quite difficult to complete many stages without them) that there are gold statues in each stage that you can destroy with your ball to tack 4 more swings onto the current hole’s par. This is pretty much always worth doing. Even if you waste two swings getting a gold idol and then returning to where you were, that’s still a profit of two swings.

You should be—and probably have been—hitting pretty much every Gold Idol you get close to. As a result, you’re bound to hit plenty more than just 50 Gold Idols throughout the story campaign, making this trophy unlock naturally. However, if you’ve been very conservative or just haven’t needed them as much as me, you might need to farm a few more at the end of your trophy journey.

If you’ve beaten the story and still don’t have this trophy, just keep replaying Classic Mode and hitting Gold Idols until the “GOLD” trophy pops.

Completing a hole in just 4 shots is not as difficult as it may sound. Many of the holes in the Scotsman’s area are short enough that this may even occur naturally. However, if you are struggling, check out the method for the Hole in One trophy. You could technically use the same method and then waste a few shots before holing out.

As with Birdie, holing out in just 3 shots is also not as difficult as it may sound. Many of the holes in the Scotsman’s area are short enough that this may even occur naturally. However, if you are struggling, check out the method for the Hole in One trophy. You could technically use the same method and then waste a few shots before holing out.

ACE! is one of the hardest trophies to earn in Cursed to Golf. There are no courses short enough that you could complete them in just two swings without the use of Power Cards. Fortunately, the foolproof method explained for Hole in One will also work here. Just be sure to waste a shot before holing out!

The Hole in One trophy is definitely one of the bigger challenges that Cursed to Golf has to offer, however, it’s truly not so bad once you understand the best method for acquiring it.

There are several possible hole layouts that can spawn in the first 5 holes of your run in which a Hole in One is possible. Below are two such examples, but there are even more.

At each hole, you should stop and press and then inspect the layout of the map around you. What you want is a hole where the flag is on the other side of a single wall. When you get one like that, you can use either a “Portals” Power Card or a Drill Ball Power Card to pass through the wall and hole out in a single swing.

But how do you get the Portal and Drill ball cards so early? Well, after you beat the Forgotten boss during the story, she will give you a new ability called “Recovery.”

This excellent ability will allow you to keep your Power Cards when you die and bring them with you into the next round! So, you should play through a few holes to stockpile as many portal and drill ball cards as you can. Then when you eventually reset the game with your full deck of Power Cards intact, you will have a much broader selection available in the earlier levels.

Unfortunately, unlocking this trophy will not automatically unlock the Birdie, Eagle, and ACE! trophies, but this method is viable for those trophies too, you’ll just need to waste a few shots before holing out.
