June 25, 2026 | Independent studio MapleTaco today launched Left Fore Dead: Zombie Battle Golf, out now on Steam. Grab up to three friends, line up your shot and try to finish a round across outrageous courses while zombies, bad decisions and your friends ruin everything.
Left Fore Dead: Zombie Battle Golf is an online and local co-op party game for 1 to 4 players, built on a simple collision of two genres: the precision of arcade golf and the panic of zombie survival. Players line up and power their shots to work their way toward the end of each course, using weapons and the environment to fight off the undead along the way. A clean shot can just as easily draw a horde out of the fog, and with friendly fire always on, your teammate is as likely to knock you off course as cover your back. Because the chaos comes from how the golf, the zombies and the players collide rather than from scripted gags, no two rounds fall apart the same way.
Rounds run a fast 5–15 minutes and are built around emergent comedy: attracting and dodging zombies, navigating awkward course geometry, choosing safe play versus going for it and deciding whether to help your teammates or quietly ruin their round. Left Fore Dead grew out of another golf project at MapleTaco, when the team got inspired to combine two things that don’t belong together, golfing and brawling and kept asking “what if you could hit zombies?”, then “what if you could hit other players too?”
“We wanted it to feel chaotic, but still readable, the kind of chaos where players understand what happened, laugh about it and immediately want to try something worse on their friends. Once we started asking ‘what if you could hit other players too?’, the game stopped being about surviving a horde and became a playground where friends create their own memorable disasters.”— Chris from MapleTaco development team
