Awesome Golf is as the name suggests, a golf simulator. There are 3 courses to play: one in the U.K one in the U.S and the third one in Japan. The gameplay involves you lining up your shot via an overhead view which when set up switches to a third person view. Whilst in this view you need to swing the club and stop it at the desired power and then stop it on the correct symbol to get the perfect hit. If you don't get it right you will either miss the ball or hit the earth. There are 14 clubs at your disposal, 8 irons, 3 woods 2 wedges and a putter which are selected by moving the hand cursor over your Golf bag and selecting the desired club.

Competent golf game if pretty unforgiving. Not too many helpful tips on which club to use. The different courses have moderately fun titles (the UK ones are named after pubs!). Probably one of the better games on the Lynx

Awesome Golf does try and do a lot with what its got, three courses, digitised speech samples and a heap of different shot and golf club options but it doesn't amount to very much. There isn't a lot going on here and, once again, there's a severe lack of flair and panache that just makes all the courses feel the same.
Its not a 'bad' game by any means but its just on the dull side. I really hope this isnt a trend for the Lynx games I really do hope....

Asshole Golf more like. A charmless, ugly, extremely basic top-down only golf game.
