Update:
The game is now live in Europe, priced €14.99 / £13.49.
Original Article:
Infinite Minigolf is Zen Studios' first title on Switch, but it hit a snag when it failed to land on 25th July as expected. The studio seemed surprised when it happened, and ever since has been reassuring eager fans that it was working to get the game out on the eShop.
Well, it's finally pinned down. It's now due on 28th July, which could be midnight in Europe and 9am Pacific / noon Eastern, presumably down to the setup on each region's store. The studio doesn't seem 100% sure on the hour, but is confident that we'll be able to get into the swing of things on that date; the price will be $14.99USD / €14.99.
It looks like a promising title, not just because of the basic fun premise of minigolf, but the ability to create, share, download and rate courses online. Various search options are promised to help players find good courses, and it's cross-platform content; the number of user-created courses will surely keep on growing. There are 'official' courses to play through standard tournaments, too.
Are you planning to check this one out?

Yay, minigolf. Sounds interesting though, with user made levels.
Depends on price and reviews. Is it local multiplayer?
I saw a YouTube gameplay video of it... may be alright, I dunno. Something about it doesn't excite me like I hoped.
@onex it costs $14.99 in the US. PS4 version has a 71% on metacrtic.
still not going buy it but only because this is not my cup of tea
Pinball please!
@iNintendo Hmm that score doesn't mean much to me as it is not exemplary of how the game controls on the Switch. Price isn't too shabby at least.
Hurrah! 2,000 courses? Is it like their pinball though where you've to pay for each table or buy them in packs? The course creator could be great fun.
@onex @iNintendo Yeah sorry, added prices now. $14.99USD / €14.99.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE it's user created content. All free.
@iNintendo Ah so that's where the 2,000 figure comes from.
I was Open this wood be good but after reading some reviews of the PS4 version I'm not sure I'll be putting this on my Switch. I'll wait for the NL review to see if it's above par. If so I may still give it a shot.
@OorWullie been using a microphone? ...hoping this would be good ?
@Dudikowski A microphone? It was the best golf puns I could come up with at 5am haha
@OorWullie Ah, sorry. I just thought it might have been after replying, but I didn´t get it straight away with English not being my native language.
That sub-header joke was on par. The timing wasn't really rough, but it did seem Fair. Way too corny for me though, yup. I don't like sinking those kind of puns.
@Darkwario1 Well putt.
I wonder if the delay was due to someone at Nintendo Europe confusing this with Infinite Golf that was released on 3DS the other week.
@iNintendo I'm seeing the PS4 version as 77% on Metacritic.
That pun was par for the course.
Probably pick this up, I like their games.
@OorWullie I'd think you'd want it to be below par
This sounds great, I have quite a few of Zen's pinball games and they are very well made. I hope that translates well to mini golf.
@JHDK must've gone up since I last checked. The game did just release
It is out, as I comment.
Glad to see they could clear up these issues, and launch not that far behind the other versions. I hope this doesn't put them off producing/releasing future titles (they did say they had more Switch projects in the works, if I recall correctly).
This gives me a 3D Ultra Mini Golf vibe just from first glance. I loved both games back then. I might have to pick this up soon !
