Great Golf is a sports game that's known as Masters Golf in Japan.
+ Unique features include throwing grass to gauge wind, and ground level angles showing the slope of the putting green.
+ Voice clips for a successful green shot are neat motivators and resemble those found in Neo Turf Masters (1996, Neo Geo).
- Only displays club distance on initial selection, so you'll constantly have to consult the manual or memorise them.
- It's potluck trying to determine where shots will land, as the overhead map doesn't include a path indicator for the ball.
- Putting is seriously flawed as the distance to the cup isn't shown, leaving you to guess how much power to use.
- Inability to add topspin or backspin makes it tough to shoot under par, and the lack of crowd SFX hurt the atmosphere.
