head to head
Neither is simply harder - they are hard in different places. Golf It! demands more execution; Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas demands more optimization.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Precision mouse control over janky minigolf physics, refined hole by hole.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A sprawling open-world crime epic with RPG-style character stats across a whole state.
Golf It! leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).
Golf It! leans clearly harder on execution.
Golf It!
Mouse-pull power and angle control decide every putt
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Flying school and drive-bys need decent hands
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Golf It!
Friends play in parallel - no interaction to predict
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Gang AI is scripted, never adaptive
Golf It! leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Golf It!
Janky physics and unknown custom maps add chaos
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Territory wars and traffic add light randomness
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas leans clearly harder on optimization.
Golf It!
Line and power knowledge per hole converges with repetition
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Stats, gym, weapon skill, and routes reward systematic play
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
