Gameplay

There are 18 holes in the game that increase in difficulty as the player progresses. Holes all have various obstacles that must be negotiated including sand traps, moving platforms and pinball style bumpers Almost all holes are surrounded by water and shots ending up off the course are given a one-stroke penalty. The holes are viewed from an isometric viewpoint.

Shots are taken by using the directional pad to line up the shot and pressing a button on the control pad to start the power gauge, pressing it again selects the desired power. The 18 holes are split down into three groups of six holes, the player must finish each set either in par or under-par to move on to the next set.

Reception

Issue 34 of Games-X magazine (December 1991) gave the Game Gear version a 3 out of 5.

In January 1992, Power Play magazine gave the game a score of 57/100.
