Great Game -- But Don't Expect More Updates

I love this game. I have enjoyed participating in some of the online forums where you can share courses with other people, and download their courses. I've enjoyed the challenge of trying to improve my Skill stats. I even (sort of) enjoy playing the courses, especially high Imagination courses.

Unfortunately, Firaxis and EA have abandoned this game. There are bug fixes that ,while minor, should be fixed. There are features that need to be added. But it won't happen. The only additions that you will be able to find are those that have been created by the SimGolf community itself.

The game has promise. Too bad it's been abandoned so soon after it's birth.

How long will it be enjoyable???

Yes, I played the demo as well and I thought it was great. However, I cannot really see what will make the full version so much better. Yes, you can build more holes, houses,.. but I am not really sure how long all of this is going to be interesting. Will there be scenarios like in Rollercoaster tycoon ???
I also found the management part to be a joke compared to other Sim games.
I also seem to be the only one who is not really that interested what all the people are talking all the time...

Don't get me wrong, I still think it is a great game, I am just not sure if in the end it won't turn out to be one of these games that you play non-stop for 3 days, but then never touch again because you have seen everything there is.

Light game. OK, lets play a round.

The fun of this game is that you can make something from zero into a full bloom golf courses, and at the same time observe the little golfers shout and murmur in your ground. Infact I indeed spent a lot of time wandering on this game!! Moreover, you can play downloaded courses of other designers.

However the consistent sound effect and the never-change picture soonly make this game boring, and the lack of strategy makes the game a bit shallow.

Even The Demo Rocks!

I downloaded the Demo (really a friend did for me) and I play it every day. I love it! it is SOOOO cool. I am buying this game the moment it comes out. here are some of the features of the game:

1.You Can Make Your Dream Country Club
2. You Can Build Up Skills For Your SimGolfer By Playing Tornements and Stuff.
3. The Graphics Are Good
4. Great Sound (except for the Sims...they say stupid phrases like: My Shoonie...??WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??)
5. Tons Of Fun

Buy This Game Right When It Comes Out. I know I am.

Rapid loss of interest

Do yourself a favor and pass on this game. It's neither a good golf game or tycoon game. While you will initially have fun with this game the repetitiveness of it all will quickly bore you, it's just not a good game.

Fun... for a few hours

This game was fun when I first got it. I am not a fan of golf, but I am a fan of sim games, so I thought "What the heck. why not?" BIG MISTAKE! The game is NOT worth the price (money) because after a few hours of watching little sim people play on your course, you get a little bored. If you are not a fan of golf I do not recomend this game for you. If you are a fan of golf, you will probably enjoy it.

Great Golf Game

Even though I have not played this game it looks like it will be the best computer game in golf history. Your able to design your dream course add trees, slopes. golf cart paths,ect. I strongly urge you to buy this great game. I sure you will love this game. Even if you do not like golf you will still enjoy it.

Spare yourself (and your computer) the grief...

The demo for this game {if one could call it that) was on the Sims Hot Date, or some expansion for the Sims. It seemed pretty fun, and since they restricted you to 3 courses, I really wanted to know what it was like to build a big golf resort. And so, I got caught in the trap. I went out and bought Sim Golf... The worst waste of money in my life. I quickly became bored with the different buildings (there are so few!), and although the course building tool was kind of interesting, it was far from addicting...The actual golfing aspect of the game required no skill, and the houses you build for celebrities are a plain waste of time...It is a plain waste of time, money, and of course, megabytes. I can't wait 'till the Sims Superstar comes out...Don't make the same mistake I did, and get a better game. This is just a plain disgrace.

When will the fun end?
