Update: We have good news and bad news. The bad news is that Golf Club: Wasteland has been pushed back a little from its original August release window, but the good news is that we now have a solid, final release date and it isn't actually that far away.
The game will be launching on 3rd September. A new release date trailer can be found here!
Original Article (Wed 9th Jun, 2021 12:30 BST): Blending cool-looking puzzle golf and a dauntingly familiar look at humanity's potential future is Golf Club: Wasteland, a new project announced by Untold Tales and Demagog Studio.
In Golf Club Wasteland, 99% of human life has been wiped out at the hands of consumerism, and Earth is now just one huge golf course for the ultra-rich (who apparently fled to Mars). You'll be playing through this post-apocalyptic course for one last round, piecing together the fall of humanity in between each successful putt.
Each hole presents its own story, sometimes offering up puzzles to pull off the perfect shot. You'll be playing through "destroyed brutalist monuments, crumbling shopping malls, and abandoned museums," listening in to a 'secret spectator' who watches your every move and learning about the events that transpired through environmental storytelling.
We'll have to wait until we can get our hands on it to be completely sure, but we're already pretty sold by the trailer above – the golf itself looks satisfying, like it should be, and the aesthetic is super-pleasing to the eye. Perhaps this is one to watch out for?
If you are interested, you'll be pleased to know that Golf Club Wasteland will launch on Switch and other platforms in August. It'll boast a Story mode as well as the more difficult Challenge and Iron modes – the latter of which leaves "almost zero room for error".

I hate golf, but love golf games, and this looks like my type of game
So many golf games these days.
Great. Song in a golf game.
I so hope this is a good game. I love golf games!
Interesting how the golf genre has took a life of its own this last generation with titles like Golf Story and What the Golf, and now games such as this and Playtonic's "A Little Golf Journey" on the way... it's the biggest resurgence of any genre in some time.
Oooh this looks good what a great idea. I would have liked 3d like mario golf style though.... but maybe they can do that for a sequel.
Between Golf Story and this, no need for what looks like kinda half-baked Mario Golf Super Rush -at least not until the updates and patches and DLC for all what I am presuming will be lots of missing content at launch -given Camalot's recent track record.
Looks like Limbo-like puzzles with Golf mechanics.
Sold. Love golf games, especially the weird ones. Golf Story is easily my favorite game on Switch, so hopefully this can fill my Sports Story void for the time being.
How odd... tennis is next?
LOL at the covfefe neon sign. And if the golf part is decent I will see about picking it up as I like the looks of it.
@Kynwal glad I wasn’t the only one that saw that. We’ll see if this pulls me away from MarioGolf.
Looks cool, I wonder if we can use motion controls to swing
Looks more like a weak trailer for a Pixar movie. These trick shot puzzle golf games are a dime a dozen. Next.
@Bunkerneath me too! Mario Golf on the 3ds converted me!
The swing, ball flight and general feel of the holed looks exactly like Super Stickman Golf.
"The cake is a lie"😆😆
I wonder what other little easter eggs they have hidden.
@PhhhCough @Kynwal There was a Bitcoin next to the toxic waste containers. 😆
Oh, this looks brill. I'm already sold!
