Surprisingly, the game’s controls are not at all complicated to figure out, in fact, they‘re a dream come true.

It's easily and without doubt the best golf videogame experience in years, and one deserving to be thought of in the same light that "Madden" is to football.
85 Team Xbox
Forget about all of the claims that Tiger Woods 2003 has realistic physics - it doesn't. But they aren't ridiculously bad and don't take away too much from the overall experience.

One of the finest golf games around. [Winter 2002, p.107]

In addition to playing on boring, traditional courses like Pebble Beach with the good ol’ boys, you can take on a quartet of kilt-wearing Scotsmen in the middle of the Amazon.
