Hey architects!
We have some exciting news to share with you from the team here at Broken Arms Games!
We’re thrilled to announce that the first-ever open playtest for our upcoming golf club management sim, Under Par Golf Architect, is just around the corner! The playtest will be open to all players on Steam from June 6 to June 11, 2025 – and you’re all invited to jump in, start building, and help us shape the future of the game.

During this playtest, you’ll get hands-on access to the course creation tools – no golf gameplay just yet – so we can focus on refining the core building experience with your help.
