This is a long comment but I wanted to highlight everything I appreciated about this game.
I loved this experience, especially during the first half of the game. The atmosphere was deeply unsettling and I hated it so much, but something in me liked it at the same time. The grainy posterized effects and off-putting music added a lot to that.
I also liked how it felt like something was off with the player character. When I play horror games, I usually find a sense of comfort in the main character because we're both put in a foreign and unpleasant situation, but in this game I felt detached from the character because it felt as if there was something just as wrong with him as the circumstances itself. Both of the employees that came up to him gave him a weird expression, like they saw something in him that unsettled them but it wasn't so obvious that it scared them away, more like a gut feeling. Also, it seems like the fact that he's completely alone (besides the stalking employees) in the wee hours of the night on a desolate golf course doesn't phase him at all, in fact he almost seemed cheery despite the circumstances. (for example, the "I'm fantastic!" dialogue option)
The golf aspect was also very fun with comfortable mechanics. I don't typically like horror games but if I could find another game that gave me the same feeling this one did, I'd play it. Well done!
