Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee Golf is the PlayStation port of an arcade series that found great success in the late '90s. While the various incarnations of the arcade game were played using a trackball, the PlayStation version uses a standard controller. Golden Tee Golf features 3D terrain mixed with sprite-based graphics for objects such as players, trees, and tees. There are six different courses to choose from initially, with mirror versions of each course available after being unlocked. These courses range from sedate locations on relatively flat areas to difficult canyon playfields. There are several modes to choose from, including a Strokes game and a Skins game. You can also play Speed Golf, which will take you through a single game in record time, or Club Roulette, where you'll have to get a grip on how each club handles if you're going to take the top spot. The game can be played by up to four different golfers, although there are no characters to select. You simply name your character and are then known in-game as Player 1 through 4.
