Golf Peaks starts off really fun and fresh, and gradually tapers off to be somewhat annoying and tedious at the end. At it's best, this unique puzzle game steadily introduces new mechanics and unique ways to solve golf puzzles and makes you feel clever and rewarded for getting them right. At it's worst, you have to count lots of squares on a zoomed out map, something that's exacerbated on the maps with conveyors and ice tiles. I ended up having to look up solutions to a good number of the puzzles, but I didn't feel bad because I was getting the "I never would have ever solved this now looking at the answer" feeling. Which isn't great.

I don't want to trash Golf Peaks though, it's a fun time if you're looking for something quick to dabble in, and I don't want to judge the game by its worst qualities. Lots of the early maps are fun and innovative - there's no puzzle game like this I can think of. And it's often really cheap on Steam or bundled with other things.
