Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Golf Resort Tycoon lets players choose from a variety of different environments--including a forest, a desert oasis, a mountainous setting, a tropical paradise island, or an autumn wooded terrain--with which to build their resorts. Each area offers its own unique challenges and benefits. Forest levels feature the highest traffic, and will have the greatest potential for success. Desert courses are among the most challenging to build and maintain, but they're also very lucrative. Mountain courses require the player to incorporate the surrounding terrain into a competitive and beautiful resort. Island resorts require innovative strategies due to their small size. Finally, autumn courses have the benefit of attracting golfers due to their stunning, ever-changing environment.

As the course designer, players have to create courses that are attractive, economical, and profitable while keeping the guests happy and maximizing profits. To assist in this goal, players can set costs and organize events that will attract more golfers. Additionally, players can increase the traffic to their entertainment destinations by adding features to the resort, such as course hazards, putting greens, flower gardens, pro and rental shops, food and beverage stands, and even a swimming pool.

4.0 out of 5 stars YOU are the Golf Course Tycoon!, May 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Golf Resort Tycoon (CD-ROM)
Being both an avid golfer and a Sim-Game buff, I've been waiting for a game like this for a long time. So far this game is worth the money! You can dream up a course, design it, and build it.

I like that you can go into a "CAM" and fly around and look at everything from just about any angle.

If you thought that Activision couldn't make a great "Tycoon" game because -Fast food tycoon- and -ski resort tycoon- were mediocre, you should buy this game to get your money's worth for all three of those games.

*PROS: Good graphics, easy to learn, good tutorial, loads of options to build structures, and very good price! *CONS: A little too easy to pick up, no actual manual just a jewel case insert with some explanation on the already obvious controls, only a few zoom levels, and no speed adjust.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not The Best Game. Too Easy!, November 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Golf Resort Tycoon (CD-ROM)
Golf Resort Tycoon is not the best game. First of all it is too easy. In no time at all you can have this huge golf resort that takes up all of your land. On the first day when I played it I used up all my land and buit all of the builings you can build.You also run out of ideas for new golf courses fast. I tried to make zig zaggy courses, But they turned out all looking the same and even if you use hazereds it still look similar. They said they have golf carts, but I haven't found out how to get them. So then I read the manuel, but no help there. It just saids that you should explore with these items: swiming pool, golf carts,ect.A nother problem with it is that there is this object called the media. It is a news van and it is aposed to raise guests, but in the time you have enough money to buy it you have enough guests all ready so that all it dose is makes lines longer for the courses. On the good side, the grapics are good and you can see people's golf score. You can also move the view so you can see golfers golf close up.
So over all it is a O.K. game.I would say you should only buy it if you are relly in to golf, but if you are not buy Roller Coster Tycoon insted.

4.0 out of 5 stars a pretty cool game, and addictive, August 11, 2001
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Golf Resort Tycoon (CD-ROM)
This game starts out pretty cool with all the different courses you can create. after a while, however, it gets hard to think of new holes, and like all tycoon games, money managing is hard. It's a good challenge, and very addictive.
