Finally, there’s a light-up feature activated by the L1 Bumper, which is handy in darker areas.

By pressing the Triangle Button, you can activate a special Free Camera Mode, which lets you roam about the course and scope out the path to the hole for a limited amount of time.Īn annoying downside to this mode is that the game still counts moving the camera forward in this mode as charging your shot when you exit it, which can be troublesome if one is too quick on the strike. The controls are fairly intuitive, but using the triggers to zoom in and out might take some getting used to. To swing the ball, players use the Right Stick to aim their shot, the Left Stick to apply power to their hit, the L2 and R2 Triggers to zoom the camera in and out and the X Button to shoot.

Just like in the real game, the goal is to get the ball into the hole in the least number of swings possible while avoiding all the different obstacles on the way, ranging from mundane water pits and sand traps to black holes and Caddyshack-style explosives.

There are seven courses in total, ranging from your standard grassy golf course to spooky haunted houses, colorful Candyland-like worlds, and even a level based on developer Team17’s Worms series.
