What our customer's say!

"Fun to design and then play your course", I bought this game a few years ago for $20 and it is still one of the best games I've ever bought. The game lets pick a part of the world you want to build a golf course, lets you design it down to the last detail and best of all you get to place the courses that you build. I never get tired of this game. Works fine with vista.

"A true review", I'm seeing those who are bashing and those who are praising.

So I'll direct my review at both views.

Pros:

You get to build your own golf course
You can play on your creation
You can hold tournaments
"Mini" RPG (You can improve your shots)

Cons:

Can get boring fast
Catch phrases get old
You can only build 18 holes, so there is a maximum capacity


My recommendation:

It's a Tycoon game, so if you don't like them, then you won't like this one.

I gave this game a 5 star fun rating, because it is quite fun to play. Though if you aren't willing to spend the money, then don't complain about it.


"Rapid loss of interest", Do yourself a favor and pass on this game. It's neither a good golf game or tycoon game. While you will initially have fun with this game the repetitiveness of it all will quickly bore you, it's just not a good game.

"horrible ", its bad the worst ever do not buy and please please dont i beg you its horrible

"Great.... but falls short.", I think SimGolf is a great game. For the people who gave this game a 1 or 2 star rating... you're just jealous. You couldn't build a better game (unless you know games). The championships that you can hold are pretty cool, but too easy, which isn't a dissapointment, but it could get in the way of some buyers. The game has good course options, such as pot bunkers, waste bunkers, and some course options you know already (if you play or watch golf). A few dissapointments... there's not enough land on the sandbox (no money-hassle) mode. You can buy land on normal mode (but only a little), and it's still not enough to give you a good course, and like some reviewers said, there's not enough buildings, which is kinda dissapointing. For golf and sim fans, buy this game! Or borrow it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Spare yourself (and your computer) the grief...", The demo for this game {if one could call it that) was on the Sims Hot Date, or some expansion for the Sims. It seemed pretty fun, and since they restricted you to 3 courses, I really wanted to know what it was like to build a big golf resort. And so, I got caught in the trap. I went out and bought Sim Golf... The worst waste of money in my life. I quickly became bored with the different buildings (there are so few!), and although the course building tool was kind of interesting, it was far from addicting...The actual golfing aspect of the game required no skill, and the houses you build for celebrities are a plain waste of time...It is a plain waste of time, money, and of course, megabytes. I can't wait 'till the Sims Superstar comes out...Don't make the same mistake I did, and get a better game. This is just a plain disgrace.

"The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread", When I heard about this, that's what I thought. It is a spark of genius. You design a golf course. It couldn't be easier to learn, and it's so addictive. This is the best game I own. It beat out The Sims Unleashed and PGA Championship Golf on the top of my computer. So simple, and anyone can enjoy it. The true golf nut, the occasional golfer, or the person who has nothing better to do with their time than play random PC games. My advice: Buy it if you have a lot of free time. You'll get addicted.

"A surprisingly fun game!", You wouldn't think this could be all that much fun, but it kept me entertained for hours. This truely was a surprise to me. A cure little game like this, and it is just as fun as all the high-profile, high-budget games...

There are some shortcomings though. For one, the graphics would be much more impressive, if there were more zoom levels. There is all kinds of stuff going on, and I would like to see these things up close.

Also, I ended up running out of things to do on some of the courses. It would be nice if one could build more than one course on a property. For instance, I ended up building an 18 hole course on a lot that was a bit too small for it really. Therefore, I ended up building a course that was too short overall for tournements. But once I got more land, it was too much of a pain to redo it all. I wish I could have built a second 9-hole course, and perhaps even picked individual holes out of both courses, to make up an 18 hole championship course.

I also wished I'd have a bit more influence of the actual definition of a hole. While you are in full control of the actual layout of the hole, it is not possible to set whether it's a par 3, 4, or 5. It does so simply by length of the whole. If you build a very tricky hole however, the destination from the tee to the green may be short, but it may require to play the long way around. Therefore, par 3 clearly isn't right. Another issue is that each hole only has one tee. How about women's and champion tees?

Overall, constructing courses and holes is very straightforward. A very worthwhile game!

PS: There are quite a few bugs in the boxed version. Nothing too serious. Mainly weird graphical effects. Make sure to visit the web site for patches.

"Fun and addictive!", I'm not a golf fan, really, but I do really enjoy sim games; give me a strategy game -- especially of the god game variety -- and I'm happy.

I picked this game up on a whim, both because I appreciate most of Sid Meier's games, and because it just looked like it might be fun to play with.

I wasn't disappointed. I've been playing it addictively and staying up far too late building my course.

This is a highly addictive game, quite easy to learn, and it's amusing to watch the sims run about ranting and raving and enjoying themselves. Part of the challenge is getting the layout of the course done logially; so far I end up making circular tracks, although there is an option to renumber your holes later on. With the limited land available initially until you earn the right to buy more, you need to be cautious in your creations. Once you get the hang of it, you can design award-winning holes effortlessly. the hardest part is meeting all the criteria of imagination, difficulty and length -- I haven't yet figured out what makes an imaginative hole. (Indeed, some of my holes that I thought were easier have ended up labeled heroic!) You can take your pro to play your own holes, but it's slow and sometimes annoying, without much finesse needed -- all you must do is shoose the type of shot, point and click.

The game does have its faults. As someone else mentioned, the exit screen is far too long, and I usually end up leaving something running in the background so I can alt-tab over to it to let it close without looking it. It occasionally crashes out on my XP Pro machine whehn I try to run a tournament, but I suspect that's due to the fact that I have a really low powered and old video card in it right now, so shouldn't be taken as gospel. At work, I didn't have any trouble at all.

It can also be too easy -- I've made millions on my second course, playing in normal mode. I made as many on the first, playing in easy. It can get repetitive, with doing the different holes on different sites, but it seems like if you make a plan to have different flavors at each, you can make it enjoyable for yourself.

In sum, while it's not a perfect game, it's an enjoyable management game without the hassle of games such as SimCoaster or other games that require micromanagement. There's no micromanagement needed here, and I'm comfortable letting my sims work through their difficulties with the holes initially to get to enjoy them more. Try it, if you're into Simulation and management games; you'll like it!

"A SimGolf Review by a owner,", I've had this for a wile and i've gotten Adictive to it because its so good. I think that anybody that would like this game its funny and fun at the same time. and you can Learn (a little) from this about golf. But its where you start out as a owner of a Park, Dessert, etc, Anyway you try to Build a Major Golf club. But there is money in this so don't think you will get everything free. of "Course" there is a sandbox mode where you can just build a Course with infinite money. And I also like the Big selecton of different Terrain. But I think the coolest part about it is that you get to play your own Course for a change like in some games you can build them but not try. I would reccomend this for a Present or if you just want a new game.
