Play the story of a golfer, forced to give up all that he holds dear for one final shot at accomplishing his dream.

But all is not so simple in the world of golf. To best today's players you have to be able to keep up with them not just on the course, but also outside of it.

Here are some of the things you can do in the game:

Tee up anywhere! You’ll be surprised by how many problems can be solved by hitting a golf ball at them.
Explore 8 unique environments, each with their own courses, towns, people and secrets.
Play through a dramatic story with a diverse cast of characters.
Upgrade your golfer by completing challenges, solving puzzles and buying new equipment.
Round out your skill set with long driver tournaments, disc golf, mini golf and wee links. Then go beyond golf with extra challenges like races, mowing, drone flights and geocaching

All told, Golf Story is a surprisingly gripping game, hooking you with fantastic gameplay, loads of content, and a well-written script. This is one that’ll have you coming back for many hours in the story mode alone, and the multiplayer does a good job of expanding on this with even more replayability. We would highly recommend Golf Story to anyone looking for something a little different. There’s a whole lot to love here, and if you’re a fan of RPGs or golf games, this is a must buy.

Golf story is a good golf game, an excellent RPG, and one of the very best genre-blending experiences on any platform. The genuinely funny writing combines with simple and fun golf mechanics in a varied world of wild courses, making for a memorable journey. Golf Story takes the greatness of its source material (Mario Golf for Game Boy Color) and sprints with it. You'll find lots of laughs, delights, and surprises, including what might be the most innovative use of HD Rumble on the Nintendo Switch.
