I have played just about every golf game that has ever been released and Disney Golf is a lot of fun. Of course, if your looking for a true golf sim..look elsewhere. DG gives you exactly what you would expect..Imaginary courses, 62 funny power-ups ( I love the one that turns your golf ball into a football ) You have to earn coins to purchase these power-ups in the golf shop and you earn those coins by making great golf shots. There are 7 different games you can play: Stroke, Match, Skins, Combination, Long Drive Contest, Near Pin Contest and Challenge ( where you play to unlock characters and courses ) The size of the Characters are not too big..not too small..just right. The 6 courses ( 2 you have to un-lock ) are detailed and in vivid colors. There's even some wildlife running around these Fairways and some Tumbleweeds blowing around the American West course..nice little details here. You hit the ball using the standard 3 click method and you putt using the standard grid method..nothing new here, but effective. If you enjoy the Hot Shots series ( which is a LITTLE better ) you will feel right at home playing DG. Overall, this title deserves some praise for it's efforts..it is a solid golf game and one that you will enjoy. Just remember, its a Fantasy golf game..nothing more, nothing less. So tee it up and hit the fairways with Disneys best Characters and have some fun...that's what playing games are all about. Enjoy.

I bought this for my six year old but was surprised how much I enjoyed playing this game with him. The graphics are colorful and the characters (though you only have 8 of them) are fun to play with.

My biggest disappointment is that the game does get too easy quickly. Luckily there are more challenging courses, but those can be easy after playing once or twice. That makes this a great game for young children because they will be challenged longer. There is no violence and most definately deserves the 'E' rating. It is also nice to have a game that more than one person can play at a time.... in fact you can even have up to 4 players playing.

There are other challenges like the Long Drive and Closest to the Pin competitions. These are fun, challenging, and a great way to put in a "quick game".

For children I would most definately recommend it. For adults, I would recommend playing with them. But if you want something more challenging, there are other golf games that are better and have more characters.

We are relatively new to PlayStation, but this game is fantastic. It combines all the elements of a great golf game with the imagery and fantasy of the Disney world. The graphics are unbelievable, the courses and the camera angles spectacular, and we've barely played it a couple of times. I'm sure there will be many hours of enjoyment ahead. The game is simple enough that my four year old can enjoy and play it, and challenging enough to bring my 13 year old back to try to beat it and unlock the characters and courses.

Just opened this game tonight and I played with my 5-year-old son. I've played other golf games before, so the play mechanism was familiar to me -- aim, click to start the swing, click to determine your power, click to determine accuracy. Very fun and easy for me, and even my 5-year-old had picked up on it by the 2nd hole. I've been looking for a game for him so he can start using the PS2 to develop hand-eye coordination, and this is the one -- he REALLY enjoyed it and as I said, picked it up very quickly. He has trouble with other games on the PC, but this one is just perfect for him. The graphics are very good, and overall it's just a lot of fun. We didn't get into the whole thing with coins and power-ups, but what's cool is that you don't have to do that stuff if you don't want. Highly recommended. Great game.

I purchased this game for my three grandsons. They are 7, 4 and 3. The three year old is still having a little trouble, but the others fight to keep it away from ME!!! I love this game. It is great to teach the children eye-hand control. But it is equally fun for me. This is something we can all enjoy.

You might approach Disney Golf and laugh for a certain period of time thinking it will be childlike and brightly shallow. You might even expect the odd sing-a-long, taking golf balls or giant weights falling from the sky to crush underperforming golfers. But suprisingly it is a very playable golf game.

Of course, this isn't an entirely straight game of gold. There are several recognisable and realistic modes of play; Strokeplay, Matchplay and Skins, plus combination play for a pair of two-player teams, Long Drive or Near Pin contests and a challenge option where you play against AI(computer) characters.

Each toon has there own playing style as well, for example Donald Duck is a good all-rounder, while Goody is a power player with a hefty swing.

MY VERDICT:

THE GOODS:
-Real golf games suck the fun out of ball-thwaking

LET DOWNS:
-Only eight characters, only six courses.

Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 6.5/10
Gameplay: 7.4/10
Life span: 6.2/10

OVERALL SCORE AND THOUGHTS:
-6.4/10 64%
PGA Tour Golf + Walt Disney toon icons = a suprisingly enjoyable and playable game

Disney golf brings fun characters, unbelievable power ups, and terrific courses to the game of golf. My 5 year old is even learning to keep score when he watches real golf on TV.
OK, here's the deal. Select a Disney character with a particular strength (i.e. power, skill) and play head to head with another character (though you can play doubles). Earn coins by defeating your opponent and bonus coins by hitting the ball full power, landing an approach shot within 10 feet, sinking a chip-in or long put, or landing your ball in a secret area. Use these coins to purchase power-ups that can be used to up your game or hinder your opponent's. The use of your power ups is monitored by an energy meter. If your out of energy, you can't use your power ups.
All I can say is fun fun fun. This is the first golf game I've ever sunk an ace on and the pay off was more than a feeling of satisfaction (347 coins!) The game gets harder as you progress, but not too difficult to beat. Right now, I'm working on saving enough coins to purchase the elusive "turn your ball into a walnut" power up. 9999 coins. Yikes. Wonder what it does for you.
Great game! Fun courses! Slam your opponent with defensive power ups! Not a sim, just tons of fun for a combo mini golf with full scale golf.

My son, who is five, enjoys this game. He like that the disney characters are the ones actually playing golf.

I bought this game for my 5-year-old. It seems okay, despite the silly "power-ups," but I can't for the life of me figure out how two people can play. I select a game, then I select "2 players." I next select a character for player #1 and one for player #2. When play begins, though, it's a one-player game. The directions are not helpful in the least. Any ideas?

I AM THINKING OF BUYING THIS FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON. ARE THERE DIFFERENT SKILL LEVELS? WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS FOR A FOUR YEAR OLD? IS IT ANYTHING LIKE PUTT PUTT GOLF?
