A golfing spin-off in the famous Worms series. Worms Crazy Golf - it's a familiar mix of the main series gameplay and classic golf transforming the latter into turn-based madness. Now the main goal is not to destroy all of the enemy’s worms. The goal is to get into the hole with fewer strikes. The game is a continuation of the mobile-exclusive Worms Golf and adaptation of the format on the PC.
