A standard golf game with three different 18 hole courses. You can practice any hole, practice at a driving range, and play the full courses. The ability to set a handicap, wind speed, as well as what your golfer looks like is also included. Hitting the ball is done by pressing once to start, press a second time to set the power, and press a third time to determine slice and hook.

9This is a cute, well polished game with charming graphics and voice lines. There is a learning curve as you need to know what club to use and your often sarcastic caddy will not always be helpful. Getting the perfect shot without a slice or hook is challenging.
