Gameplay

A number of competition formats are available, including 'Medal' in which up to four players can compete over 18 holes, 'Championship' in which up to four players may join a fifty-four-strong tournament over up to 72 holes, 'Matchplay' in which two players compete on a hole-by-hole basis, and 'Skins' in which at least three players contend holes for fictional money.[1]

The gameplay takes a bird's-eye view perspective, with a number of 2.5D elements. The player(s) are given the option of a variety of clubs and golf courses,[2] as well as three skill levels.[3]

Reception

Sega Master Force magazine expressed reservations about the game's complex parameters and placed particular criticism upon the simplistic audio, commenting that "the graphics and sound are a little disappointing" and that "the course is just one big mass of greenery with the occasional sand pit".[3] Praise was, however, given to the realism and depth of gameplay, along with a comment that it was one of the best sports titles available on the Master System.[3]
