I can't remember why I bought this on the eShop a zillion years ago, but after my recent MicroSD card failure I was re-downloading titles and it caught my eye.

It started a little rough, because like a lot of classic games there isn't much in the way of tutorials. But that aspect became part of its charm for me. The game's presentation is really stellar for a Game Boy Color title, with lots of course variety and convincing graphics from different perspectives, but the lack of incessant tutorials really keeps the focus on the golf.
That isn't to say there's nothing of interest outside the courses. The game is presented via a top-down RPG-style world that's surprisingly deep, with optional mini-courses and boss battles. You can create a character, earn experience and boost stats like drive range and control. It's a really fun way to inject some variety into the experience while still functioning as a good interface for the main game.
