    A classic. Awesome. The best golf tycoon game, tons of fun. If you ever played golf in real life will like even more.

    I tell you enough about how much FUN this game is. SimGolf has eaten up hours if not days of my time. While it might seem odd that a game of Golf could do such a thing, it's only understandable that men like Sid Meier and Will Wright could accomplish the nigh-impossible feat of making a game of golf enjoyable to even those who loathe the game. After playing this game, I no longer looked at Golf the same way. I'm completely in love with everything about the sport, thanks to the game. … Expand

    Very fun game, I like it a lot. After a while it gets repetitive, but it is stil fun. if you have this game at home and you are bored, it is not a bad game to play.

    This game almost has it all... It's somewhat challenging, and never boring as you can play rounds when there's out much happening, but a super-easy learning curve and cartoony graphics cause a minor dent.

    Hard to describe. Would be perfect if the Sandbox Mode made about 40% of the game useless, but the regular game is incredible. Highly recommended.

    Most computer games can play only 2 or 3 months and you'll get bored. This game is not the same. I can play longer than that. I think it's very fun. If your someone that likes to play sim games, I think this is the very good one you should try.

    It's a virtual, and literal, bummer. SimGolf is a fantastic game, by far Meier's most playful project to date, marred by all-too typical PC game glitches.

    An interesting and very playable game...not as much as Civilization or the The Sims, but good nonetheless.

    SimGolf was surprisingly good, however, and before I knew it, hours had passed and I was sitting on top of a small 9-hole course, screaming at my pro to sink a 5-foot putt.
