ESPN golf is great. The controls are easy to learn, and within five minutes of playing the game you swing like tiger woods! But than the challenge begins: 14 players to choose from, one can hit really hard but can't aim very good. Another can aim very acurate but can't hit far. Needless to say this adds to the game's depth. The sound are goods, a nice tune, lovely birds and other sounds of nature (rain, wind). Naturally the wind and rain infuence the flight and bounce of the ball. The graphics are functional and clear, no oscars here but they do the job perfect. With numurous tours to compete on, with increasingly difficult bukers, water and greens the game has a long lifespan.
Perfect game: easy to learn, impossible to master.

As a frequent traveler, I've been a big fan of gameboy golf. I just got the Advance Console and bought the 2001 ESPN Golf Advance. The graphics are pretty good but it's very easy for anyone who has played other golf games (Example: I got a 12 under on 1st time playing). (...) I have played the Mario Golf for Gameboy color for about a year and find that to be much more challanging.

I was really looking forward to trying out this game. I am extremely disappointed. Every single 30 to 50 foot put goes in the hole. Which means I essentialy one put. Now is that realistic? My golf handicap would be a negative 20 and I literally have hit a 58 on 18 holes with this game.

It gets extremely boring once you finish the total of 4 courses and play them more than 3 times each. Sure you can switch players with different abilities, but they all essentially have the same stroke but mildly different distances.

I would recommend buying a used copy and then reselling it after a week or so when you get bored. In fact, I have one to sell if you want.

This was a fun game, but it didn't hold my interest. As others have mentioned, it's very easy. The saving grace of the game is the fact that there are multiple golfers, multiple courses, and multiple modes of play. The only disadvantage is that you have to win tournaments to unlock new courses; not that this is difficult, but you don't have a variety of courses to choose from until you slog through all 18 holes. The graphics and sound are both great, which has been true of every GBA game I've played so far.

Overall, this game is approximately what I expected. It is not equivalent to the PC golf games, but I did not expect that level of detail and realism. This game is very playable. Although it is a bit on the easy side, it still represents a nice diversion. Both of my sons enjoy this game, and we all enjoy playing together trying to outdo each other on the links.

Boy what a wonderful creation Konami and ESPN have teamed up to bring to the compact video game market. This game is better than many of the older desk top PC games out there. It is hands down better than Mario Golf! I take this game everywhere I go and play it often. The most incredible thing about it is the ability to save games and also to play "on the go." I will not think of getting on a plane, train, boat, or car without it! If you buy it, you will not regret it!

I am actually the mother of my special needs son. He has the game. He seems to enjoy it, that is all I can really say.

Recieved the game today. Was expecting to get a great game. The grafics are good but the on screen golf swing looks like something out of an 80s golf game. I'm sure it will pass the time but I'm not as enthusiastic about it.

This game is cool because of the REAL GRAFFICS and 14 players
to chuse from and 5 beautiful and hard in fact I only have 2 but,
im having fun unlocking them ENJOY!!!

The game suffers from its ease. There is fu to be had playing with other humans who can match your scores, but it quickly loses its charm as a solo game. The graphics are pretty good, but there is no good overhead view of the hole while you play, but otherwise game play is easy to understand and sensibly done.
