8-bit sports game/10.
I used to play this on GBC all the damn time, they just added it to Switch, so I'm reliving the memories.
I love the story mode and the RPG elements
It could have more than 5 courses, but it's an GBC game

It's alright overall. I wish I could had this as an actual GBC cartridged (yes, I played it on NSO for the first time) to experience it as it actually deserved but it's still a cool game with exclusive stuff from the N64 counter-part: just like Tennis on GBC, it has its own RPG, thankfully way more direct than the other: no tedious long intros.
It does remind me of NES Open Tournament being on a less powerful console than the N64, and it makes perfect sense.

Golf Story led me to believe it was a RPG with only occasional golf, when it was in fact a golf game that was only occasionally an RPG. This is a golf game with RPG elements, so right there I already like this game more for choosing not to piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining. Not to mention, this game has the Mario brothers, and everyone likes the Mario brothers! What was the extra thing golf story had? Disc golfers. No one likes disc golfers
