Almost as if someone heard my suggestion from a few games back, this is a CD game made entirely from photos of a real golf course. This works quite well in the approaches, certainly giving it a visual edge over the other games. I’m not convinced that every single green wasn’t using the same picture but maybe I’d be proved wrong if I’d played for longer.
Where it suffers is there is no player on screen, just a small white rectangle for the ball that stays the same size no matter how near or far and doesn’t feel all that convincing in how it bounces. When you get on the greens, you get something that looks more like a real ball but the movement never feels quite right there either. This could have been a hidden gem but the game side of it lets things down. Just needed a bit more refinement but still not a bad effort.
