Okay, I've seen a few shots of this game and I'm interested. Without being judgmental because it's about golf, could someone tell me what it is like or could someone show me a linky to a website that might give me a better idea about whether I should spend my well-earned quids on this game.

Any information gratefully appreciated.

Its the official site that also has a playable demo you can download. I've tried the demo and its quite a fun management game, not as boring as I expected it to be.

Heh, yep I'm a bit of a lazy git myself. I need to do some exercises but I just can't be bothered, i blame that long summer I had off when I finished high school. The laziest two months of my life.

I've played the demo of Sim Golf and it was absolutely brilliant. Its one of those games though that seems really crap when you first begin to play it but it grows on you very quickly. I had a couple of golfers get stuck on the golf course on m in the demo so I hope that'll be fixed in the finished version.

I didn't realise it was going to be 39 meg so it took a while. Worth it though. I enjoyed it. I'm definitely getting the game.

Yeah I liked the demo as well. Not useually a fan of golf games, but this is more of a management sim than a golf sim. I'm also considering buying the game, but it isn't on the top of my list. Still though I think it will sit well with all my other management sim games.

It managed to keep me entertained for 2 hours easy and this is just a demo where you can only make 3 holes. This game could easy take a day of my time without me realising.

It's a pretty good game actually. I got it from a website which has a
demo*, of the full game. Can't play it much though, as I should be revising.


*It's a demo, Honest guv... :)

Yeah, it has really surprised me how good it is. It's playable and it's big because the demo is just a snipet of the game. It must be great to make an 18 hole course.
