Personal review

This is a standard top-down view golf game. Good for one playthrough of the single course with 18 holes but not more. This game makes it hard to estimate the direction where to shoot. The distance from tee to hole is pretty long and there is no minimap. You can fly around with the camera towards the hole, but once it is back at the golfer it is hard to aim due to a lack of visibility and the sheer distance to the end. Another thing that striked me was the hilarious sound when the golf ball is in mid-air.
