Gameplay

Winning Putt allows up to four players to tee-off together on several fictional golf courses. The game also features a social hub called "The Square" where player avatars can interact with other players and buy or sell items from various NPCs, or trade with other players. Players earn experience and gold, an in game currency, with each swing they take, and get bonuses on completing a hole or round of golf. When a player earns enough experience they will advance in level, and after level 5 begin earning training points to further advance their character's statistics. Gold can be used in game for a variety of items which can be purchased from other players or NPC shops.

The actual game of golf makes use of a standard 3 click swing bar seen in many other golf games. Players click once to start their swing, again to set power, and a third time to set the accuracy of their shot.

Winning Putt was originally developed as a Korean title and then later marketed to the United States. The game entered Open Beta on January 14, 2016 in North America by Bandai Namco Entertainment as a free online download and is currently available through the publisher's website or via Steam, where it was released on October 25, 2016.
