Stinker Golf turns a quiet round of golf into a sabotage contest. It’s an online game for 1 to 16 players where everyone edits the course as they go, dropping hazards and reshaping the ground so the next shot is harder for everyone else. The whole thing runs inside a fully simulated pixel world, so terrain, particles, and debris all behave under physics rather than sitting as static props.
Quick answer: Stinker Golf is a 1–16 player destructive physics golf game from Gupa Games, planned for release in January 2027 on PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam.
How a round of Stinker Golf works
The core loop is build-then-play, repeated. Before each hole is played again, players get to build obstacles, modify the terrain, and place particles. Then everyone plays the hole in its new, messier state. Each pass compounds the damage, so a clean fairway slowly becomes a tangle of hazards, destruction, and deliberate sabotage.
The trick is that you are trying to ruin the hole for your friends without wrecking your own chances. Every trap you set still has to be one you can navigate when it’s your turn.
Pixel destruction and physics hazards
Destruction runs on GPU-powered physics, so the pixel sandbox responds to your actions. Blast openings in the terrain, dump sand into the cup to block it, or summon a rain cloud to flood the course and sweep balls off their paths. Dozens of obstacles, terrains, particles, items, and zones let you disrupt other players.
Because everything is simulated rather than scripted, sand settles, water flows, and collapsed terrain stays collapsed for the rest of the round.
Course editor, custom holes, and community maps
A built-in editor lets you make your own holes and full courses. You can share those creations with friends and load community-made maps, and the game ships with Steam Workshop support for distributing them. Thousands of golfer outfit combinations are available for customizing your character.

Release date and how to wishlist
Stinker Golf is developed and published by Gupa Games, and its planned release window is January 2027. No exact day or launch time has been confirmed yet. The game is not yet available to buy; the Steam page is live for wishlisting, and adding it there means Steam notifies you when it goes on sale.
You can confirm the wishlist worked when the “Added to your Wishlist” state appears on the store page and the title shows up in your Steam wishlist.
The game supports ten languages, including full interface, audio, and subtitles in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Russian, and Turkish, pointing to a release aimed at players well beyond its pixel-art golf niche.
