Great Golf is a sports game that was only released in Asia and is unrelated to the similarly titled Great Golf (1987, Sega Master System).
+ Courses are meticulously crafted, with slivered fairways and staggered islands that test your ball striking accuracy.
+ Has an intuitive four-step process before each swing, and the mechanics on the putting green are uncomplicated.
- On-screen HUD doesn't tell you how far away the ball is from the cup, leading to awkward calculations and guesswork.
- Doesn't allow you to scroll the camera to peek ahead, and there's no clear indication of where the ball will travel.
- Could have used more wide open fairways during the first few holes to ease players in and help them learn the basics.
- Lack of crowd SFX make for a muted round of golf, and the isometric viewpoint isn't ideal when trying to avoid hazards.
