Pebble Beach got me on a small golf game hook so I wanted to jump onto the PGA games. This one's fine, though they make ZERO attempt to hide it was originally a DOS game. Menus were kind of ass to navigate through at first.
it's very forgiving on swings and OOB and honestly almost every aspect of its design. If you've ever been pushed off a golf game for being too strict or unpredictable, this is a good starting point. Hell, you can just go completely off the course and you're fine - don't know why you'd want to, but I was still getting pars the few times it happened. I can't say the same about the putting; the terrain level grid is on a separate screen from the green and really inconvenient to use. Putts always seem to go shorter than intended. But the biggest putting crime is that you have to control power AND angle.
Not very stylish or tonally interesting, just straight golf, and it's pretty fine for that. Hoping the sequels patch it up.
