Where Are Golf With Your Friends Save Files Located?
Golf With Your Friends saves one sav file plus custom levels under LocalLow Team17, with generic settings in registry. Cloud never restores saves.
Last updated
Golf With Your Friends keeps one save file that Cloud will not rescue. A single sav plus a custom-levels folder under the Team17 company tree carries all progress. The backup guide states plainly that Cloud restores fail.
Company history matters here. Blacklight paths belong to retired builds while Team17 owns current ones. Registry keys cover generic settings rather than progress. Manual copies are the only safety net.
Where Golf With Your Friends stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team17 Digital Ltd\Golf With Your Friends\gwyf.sav
Single save file plus custom levels under the current publisher tree. Cloud restores fail per the backup guide, making manual copies mandatory. Old Blacklight paths are obsolete.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/431240/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for App ID 431240. The LocalLow tree mirrors inside the prefix drive. Same single-file plus Cloud-failure behavior on Deck and Linux.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Golf With Your Friends saves?
Copy gwyf.sav with the CustomLevels folder from the Team17 company tree while the game is closed. Registry holds generic window settings only. Steam Cloud explicitly fails to restore saves per the backup guide, so manual copies are mandatory.
My path says Blacklight Interactive. Right?
It is obsolete. Early builds wrote under Blacklight Interactive before the publisher tree took over. Current installs use the Team17 Digital path exclusively. Old guides pointing at Blacklight describe retired layouts.
Where do custom Golf maps go?
Through the CustomLevels folder beside the save file with community maps threads documenting the flow. Workshop content arrives separately through the content tree. Keep custom levels with the sav on every move.
