Subdues the simulation and precision edges off golf for a streamlined arcade experience, but bears its teeth through totally vicious course design. Behind its pristine presentation value and razor-sharp control scheme lies a hellhole with violently-stringent O.B. terrain, and endless seas of bunkers and rivers. It's one of the few golf games where the courses have a game-ified difficulty curve instead of a consistent pace across the 18 holes, so you get this tension where holes start really breezy, but become war-torn abominations by the back half. It's amazing. I hate it. This is one of the best video games ever made.
