A decent game. It would have benefitted greatly from some green close-ups, though.

If you want to play a really good round of golf on Intellivision, get Chip Shot Super Pro Golf instead. Still, the old standby wasn't too bad. Sound was virtually nonexistent.

Two different versions of this game exist. Most of the copies I've seen are the original version. The ROM variant, which exists in both blue and white label versions, adds a new feature: if you press the <enter> key on the keypad, the distance to the hole and par for the hole appear on the screen. I do not know if the documentation was ever altered to indicate this feature.
