The cartoon graphics are way more charming in person than in screenshots — the frolic-filled presentation makes every hole feel like a mini celebration. Even my non-golfing friends kept asking to play, which says a lot for a PC Engine game I imported blind.

It's got that perfect arcade pick-up-and-play feel, and the frolic-filled presentation keeps things light even when you shank a shot. The swing timing takes a few rounds to nail, but once it clicks you're in for a genuinely fun round.
