Under Par Golf Architect Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Release Date Set for April 2026

Broken Arms Games has officially announced that Under Par Golf Architect, its anticipated golf simulation and management title, will be launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on April 16, 2026.

This upcoming addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup offers golf enthusiasts the opportunity to design, manage, and play on personalized courses worldwide.

The studio had previously mentioned plans for a Nintendo Switch version, but the original Nintendo Switch platform was notably absent from this recent announcement, raising questions about whether the initial release plans have shifted exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2. Under Par Golf Architect empowers players to step into the world of golf course design and management.

As the architect, players are tasked with transforming untamed landscapes into prestigious golf resorts.

The game's core experience revolves around terraforming terrain to create lush fairways, crafting pristine greens for true putting experiences, and sculpting rivers and lakes to produce memorable and visually striking courses.

Each creation promises a unique experience, offering both aesthetic satisfaction and challenging gameplay elements. Players are encouraged to manage every facet of their club, from recruiting and training a diverse team of staff with unique personalities, to developing facilities like bars, pools, restaurants, and comprehensive training areas.

Budget management plays a critical role, requiring strategic investments in equipment, amenities, and staff hires to balance profitability and guest satisfaction.

As your club’s prestige grows, you'll attract VIP golfers, host exclusive tournaments, and cater to the demands of discerning members seeking luxury and exclusivity. Gameplay combines approachable controls with depth, letting users lay out courses using a point-and-click mechanic and then either play or simulate rounds to test their designs.

The game provides tools for statistical analysis, allowing managers to fine-tune club operations—from adjusting membership fees to optimizing tournament entry prices, all aimed at maximizing both member satisfaction and revenue. Under Par Golf Architect also boasts extensive customization options with biomes ranging from bustling cityscapes to serene remote locales.

Course aesthetics can be tailored to evoke classic or modern atmospheres, ensuring VIP guests have access to truly one-of-a-kind golfing experiences. This release continues Broken Arms Games’ tradition of offering engaging management simulations, further establishing the developer as a creative force in the genre.

Players can expect to access Under Par Golf Architect as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop upon its launch in April 2026.
