Annotation:

Quote from American golfer Gardner Dickinson (1927-1998)

Does "don't believe them" mean "you shouldn't believe those who say that golf is like life"?

@tommy_san

Yes, your interpretation is correct. "They" shouldn't be believed because golf isn't really like life, but is, in fact, much more difficult and complex than life.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.
