About this game

Golf simulation board game which focuses on the tactical aspects of golf (club selection, shot strength, shot direction, etc.). Hooks/slices and distance hit are determined by dice rolls. Has specialty shots for chipping, bunkers, recovery shots, etc. Nine double-sided boards recreate 18 holes from famous golf courses around the world.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
