The beautiful courses fit the theme and are filled with charm. There are a few options that let you switch up the experience, such as playing the front or back nine, choosing a random number of holes, or setting the scoring system to match, stroke, or points. With everyone swinging at the same time, moving through 18 holes doesn't take long. You can play local or multiplayer matches with up to three other people. Sometimes a ball will go bouncing into the rough, and other times it will thud to the ground as if it were made of lead applying backspin doesn't seem to help as much as it should, either. Balls seem to bounce and roll at random, regardless of terrain. Furthermore, the ball physics are far from realistic. Those with any golfing experience will notice the skewed club recommendations, which always seem to be a bit higher than what you'll want. Overall, Golf: Tee It Up is a pleasant little game, but there are a few kinks that might frustrate some players. The core mechanics are easy to learn, and once you get the timing down, they work well. You can also adjust the point of contact with the ball to add a bit of backspin. Power shots give you a bit of extra power and length, which are useful for digging out of the sand traps or rough patches. At each hole you're given four seconds of focus time, which can be used to slow or steer the ball in the air, show you a ghost putt to help you line up your hit on the green, or execute a power shot. Golf: Tee It Up employs a classic three-click swing mechanic. With a good mix of par threes, fours, and even a few sixes, Golf: Tee It Up offers plenty of challenge for the 800 Microsoft points ($10) that you pay.Īs in most arcade golf games, expect to tee off from some crazy locations.
You can play against the computer in a tournament or just hit a few random holes. You'll chip balls around cliffs, on an island, across lakes, and more. They might not keep you busy for long, but the two on offer, Caribbean and Parkland, feature interesting layouts that blend real-world course design with the typical arcade-golf bends and turns. There's no single-player campaign in Golf: Tee It Up, and there are only two courses to play on. If you're a newcomer to the genre looking for a lighter, more casual, and more affordable experience, on the other hand, then Activision's latest Xbox Live Arcade will be a good fit.

Golf: Tee It Up doesn't offer nearly as many gameplay options as other golf games, so if you're a veteran of games like EA's Tiger Woods series you'll probably lose interest after the first few holes.
