I have played the demo (comes with The Sims:Hot Date) , and I must say it's one of the best golf games made yet. I play this almost as much as The Sims Hot Date. Best demo I have ever played since the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo!!!!

SimGolf is wicked!

I looked into information on this game and it seemed very interesting. So I downloaded the SimGolf Demo at Gamespy.com and I have to say, this is one of the best games ever! The gameplay is extordinary and the graphics are awesome! You start out as a golf course designer and you have to build golf courses that are fun and have lots of creativity put into them. You can complete your courses with water, rough, rocks, streams, sand traps, and a lot more hazards to make your courses challenging, but still fun. Also, you can help improve your golfers skills by adding pro shops, driving ranges, put practices, and a lot of other buildings such as snack bars, resorts, marinas, and just about anything you can think of. Your golfers are like real people. They talk to each other, fight with each other, get tired, thirsty, hungry, and they do just about anything you would do, but the fun just doesn't stop there! You can also hold tournaments and if you win a tournament you get lots of cash to improve your golf course. I love playing on my golf courses, but on the demo you can only build three holes. Well, this game has almost everything packed into it. I simply love the demo and I can't wait for the SimGolf game to come out in stores! If you love games where you have to work everything out with strategy and love building things then I say get this game. SimGolf has eye-popping graphics, sweet sweet gameplay, and a hell of a lot more just waiting to be chewed on. I can't wait for SimGolf to come out in stores in early 2002 because this is just simply, one of the best games in life history!!!

The Demo alone is 5 stars.

Having read some interesting press on this game, I decided to download the demo. For the record, I like SimCity, Alpha Centauri, and other games these designers have separately participated in. I am not a big fan of The Sims, however, as I find it repetitive. The Demo starts out a lot like Roller Coaster Tycoon, another favorite of mine. If that had been it, I would have stopped there and stuck with RCT. However, working out the course design is wickedly fun and engrossing, with some interesting tools to help (including graphs of how the golf ball will behave in the hands of SimGolfers of different skill). I played the Demo solidly for 4 hours without realizing it. The fact that you can "play" a round of golf and select shots for your SimGolf pro (with shades of "The Sims" like personality selection) makes this even more addictive.

Great golf game

This is one truly good golf game, and sim game, for that matter. I downloaded the demo version and found it to be quite entertaining. You don't need to enjoy golf at all to enjoy this game, as I am HORRIBLE at real golf, but thoroughly enjoyed this software.

It is fun to watch guests come in and watch them golf and hear their comments, and it is fun to watch your own character, which you receive at the start of your game, improve. I thought one of the truly unique features of this game was the ability to enter tournaments and play on your course as your character. You get to line up your shots, pick what type of shot, etc, allthough you do not get to putt, which didn't take away any of the experience for me.

The only things I would advise you to be ready for are the following:

1. There are occasional graphics glitches, although this may be a demo problem, I don't know.
2. There are frequent spelling problems by the programmers in game, as well as grammatical and punctuational. This won't bother most people, but it's something to watch for.

All in all, I would say to buy this game, or if you don't believe me, download the demo from EA's Web site, ea.com. When I find the right deal on the price, I am going to purchase the full copy. Enjoy!

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.

I found this demo on my Hot Date CD and really enjoyed it. Mr. Meier has seemed to combine the fun parts of rollercoaster tycoon and the sims and even simcity. It all comes together and if you're like me you'll find yourself playing this short demo for hours. I'm looking forward to the game coming out next year. I think it will become a big hit!

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.

If you are married, get a divorce lawyer because this game..

...is electronic 'crack'. I am not joking. I enjoy the 'Sims' games but am not a giant fan of them; however, this game...? UNBELIEVABLE. I could not stop playing it the first 2 days I had it. I actually skipped 2 days of work (...cough cough... sick boss, sorry...) and played the he** out of it! I cannot wait to play the full version. The role playing elements are great, I can see that there will very likely be scenarios and specific challenges in addition to the career and 'tycoon' aspects of the game. This game Roxor!
