29 May 2020 Update
Hello all,
We have a Resort Boss: Golf update for you today! Please read on for details and enjoy the new update!
New Golfer Editor Completely revamped golfer editor that gives you more control over creation of your golfers, as well as a browser so you can easily edit and clone previously created golfers. The number of shirts, pants, and hats has more than doubled giving you a lot more possibility of creation. You're now also able to specify the age, the country, the profession, and a desired display photo.
Revamped Golfer AI The golfer AI has been completely reworked to be more manageable and less prone to issues. Player now also utilizes the same system, allowing for more gameplay possibilities. Due to the new system, we're now also able to properly save the visitors and the VIP's presence in the game. Your old saves should still work, although some golfers may spawn a bit later than usual at first.
Graphical Settings Gone is the default launcher, and in is a newly revamped options menu that includes graphical settings for you to select, including resolution, screen mode, and various quality settings.
Notice System At the top of the screen now lies a text box that will bring you relevant information from time to time, including when a VIP arrives, when a golfer you created has entered the course, when a tournament begins, basic financial information. This will give you a quick reminder when things happen. Also added a pop up for when your tournament fails to get enough golfers. More information/triggers can be added to this system as needed.
Improvements/Fixes
You can now go directly to a golfer's profile panel from the guest list.
Added an option to expel members from your club.
On the resort info panel, added a button to quickly zoom to the player character's location.
You can now press the right click button when aiming your shot to cancel the shot and be able to change the swerve of the ball.
Due to the new AI system, we were able to add a Play option to your courses, so you can play an entire course in one go as opposed to going from hole to hole.
Re-balanced golfer spawn so that custom golfers have a higher chance of being spawned.
You can now press N to toggle the display of guest names on the resort.
Added a default golfer boss character that can be edited when starting the game without created bosses.
Improved the hole detection for the ball to better account for chip ins.
Modified the animation trigger for walking to be based on the character speed, as opposed to the start/end of a movement.
Fixed issue with the messages not being loaded properly when resuming a save upon launching the game.
Fixed a missing space in the visit result message.
Fixed the text for a successful golf visit.
Golf Boss name has been added to the resort info panel.
Fixed some of the quality settings not being properly reflected into the game.
Fixed an issue with turning a saved golfer into a different type would result in duplicates and the photos not saving properly.
Fixed an issue with golfers not registering as having reached their target while moving, causing them to occasionally get stuck.
Fixed an issue where the game would crash on launch if no golfer saved data was found.
Thanks, The Resort Boss: Golf Team

Resort Boss: Golf News Update
Hello all,
We wanted to offer you a quick news update on Resort Boss: Golf before we see 2019 out!
As you may have noticed, the update originally planned for November, featuring a campaign mode, Steam Workshop support and more, has not yet released. Sadly some of the features planned for this update have taken longer than expected and we needed more time to make sure we got it right and made the update the best it can be!
Following this content update, we also wanted to release a patch with countless bug fixes and quality of life improvements. As the envisioned time frames merged closer together, we have made the decision that it's best to form the content update and the patch into one big release.
This will be releasing in January 2020, and is the last planned update. We will continue to keep an eye on the forums in case any particularly nasty issues crop up, however!
Thanks, The Resort Boss: Golf Team

7 October 2019 Patch + New Content Now Live
Hey all,
We've just launched a quick update for Resort Boss: Golf, with a bunch of new bug fixes, as well as a splash of new content.
Visit the roadmap to see what's to come in Resort Boss: Golf's October and November updates.
7 October Full Patch Notes
Added Red Pandas to the game. Very expensive, but high prestige.
Added lamp posts for night golfing.
Added parking lots, for visualization of how busy a resort is, as well as to give a bonus to the capacity of the resort.
Added a (Closed) label to the resort name in the main menu for better visibility.
Added a panel to confirm the closing of a resort if a tournament is in place, cancelling said tournament.
Fixed issue with loading multiple groups to a hole would cause the active group to be reset multiple times, resulting in golfers that never left the course or played.
Fixed an issue with the decay of the terrain tiles that caused them to not decay properly if they were assigned to a hole then the hole was removed.
Fixed an issue with the AI logic when saving/loading where the golfer's state on being called to hit the ball would be reset, yet the golfer would believe he still had to wait for his turn. The resetting of the state was moved to a later state, and now the golfer loads properly.
Fixed an issue where closing a hole sometimes would not make the waiting golfers exit the resort.
Modified the AI calculations for strokes, properly implementing a confidence variable that would allow the AI to take riskier/more rewarding shots (so they
should* be trying to cut through trees on a dogleg; and if unsuccessful, they'll try a less risky shot next time). May need some adjustments.
Fixed a false negative on the PlayGroup's spawned status that caused a resort to sometimes spawn duplicate golfers.
Fixed an issue with the tee counter resulting in the standby not being turned off when it should.
Fixed an issue where some groups would be saved/loaded as empty, which would break the whole group system.
Fixed an issue where the actually active group on the hole would not be saved as active, resulting in the ActiveGroup being set to null, further breaking the group system.
Fixed an issue where a group could be added both as Active and Next in a hole, making the hole not advance if the Active group ended as they would be trying to call themselves as the next group.
Fixed an issue where golfers would stop respawning to play golf because there was a bad group still set as the active/next group of the hole.
Utility placement tip now closes properly after closing the panel.
Golfers will now only visit the resort to frequent existing facilities; no more will they spawn and idle about without a goal in mind if the driving range didn't exist and they came to the resort to drive.
Vending Machines and Benches can now be placed in any location, as opposed to being stuck to the four sides of a tile.
Fixed issue with parking lot and lamp posts not being removable.
Fixed issue with parking spots being updated visually while players were looking at it.
Reduced the rate of update of the parking spots.
Fixed an issue where the spawn chance was becoming zero whenever the user placed a parking lot.
