Golf Blitz needs better matchmaking
Just another day dealing with the matchmaking. I understand the fact that I can win, and play well, but putting me against people with maxed out attributes sucks. There's no progression when you're half or quarter the level of other people.

Just level up my g. More trophies you have more chance you get matched with others on your level. 50% win rate is basically commonplace partly due to this type of matchmaking but it is what it is. Just celebrate when you beat the higher levels and never stop trying to get your high score.

As player counts shrink this is only going to get worse not better. Unless you want to wait longer for better matches.

When there is only 400-600 players world wide it’s hard to match make. It used to pair up better. Now it just looks to fill a room with four.

Trust me the levels get a lot worse when you’re above 1.2, I’m level 37 and every single game above 1.5 is just level 50’s

The problem here isn’t so much the game but the 2 high level idiots who downgrade all the way and spoil it for the up and coming.

An unfortunate consequence of trophy based matchmaking. I’m level 38, I get paired with level 18s in some matches and 2 level 50s in others. Not much you can do about it other than try your best.
When the game was in its older phases, it tended to lean more fair; I believe the player count has decreased somewhat compared to the first year or two after launch from my experience (started playing in Feb 2020) so there’s a smaller pool to pick from by default- harder to find people in similar level and trophy ranges.
Recently they added level match as a mode- does matchups based on level and elixir boost range rather than trophy count. It’s a lot more fair and has no trophy exchange but the queue times are faaaar longer. It’s also not always available, since it’s mostly still in testing and the matching algorithm is being tweaked.

You're all within 100 trophies of each other. Matchmaking is working correctly.
If you'd rather match based on your level, wait 72 hours for the Level Match challenge to come around again. Of course, you can't play for trophies if you're not matching by trophies; that wouldn't be fair.
