Editorial Review

If you aren't a golf fan, then read no further, because this game won't appeal to you. However, if the smell of cut grass and the feel of titanium between your fingers gets your heart racing, then pick up Turf Masters for the NEOGEO. Choose from six golfers with different styles of play and shot specialties, and then head for the tees.

Game selections include an 18-hole game, a handicap round selected at random, or the crown tournament, in which you'll have to invest the time it takes to play seasoned veterans through two days of preliminaries and finals in three major tournaments. With a pocket link (sold separately), you can also take on a fellow NEOGEO owner. In the "versus" mode, while waiting to tee off, you can use your joystick to whistle, boo, applaud, cheer, set off a horn or buzzer, or blow a trumpet to distract your opponent.

Although reading the direction booklet helps, only time and repeated play will allow you to learn the ins and outs of your golfer's unique skills, as well as the properties of your club collection. It also takes time to get acquainted with the feel of each course, from the bunkers to the water hazards to the greens. However, this game is ultimately much simpler to play than many PC-based golf titles. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Decent variety of courses and countries
• Several screen points of view help you plan shots

Cons:

• Nongolfers will have a hard time understanding club and shot selections

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Golf Game, December 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NEO TURF MASTERS (Video Game)

This is a very fun golf game. If you own a NGPC and like golf, I would definitely recommend this game. The only thing that I find frustrating is at times it can be difficult to read the greens when putting. Aside from this, the game is very enjoyable and will keep you coming back for more to win the tripple crown and collect your special prize.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tough Turf To Master, February 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: NEO TURF MASTERS (Video Game)

After I popped this game into my NGPC I found I couldn't stop playing. The three available courses are fun and some holes are really challenging. The game is very easy if you use the hidden set of clubs (you get them after winning the triple crown) so I would recommend sticking with the standard clubs for fun and challenge. With the hidden clubs you don't have to read the greens at all and that's not as fun but they do allow you to score eagles which are a practical impossibility with the standard clubs. If you want to have hours of fun buy this game!

4.0 out of 5 stars a great golf game, January 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: NEO TURF MASTERS (Video Game)

I found turf masters to be very entertaining if you like golf. the controls are easy, the graphics are nice, and you'll probably find yourself playing it for hours. It has several levels of difficulty from easy to very hard. It also keeps records of all your players stats. My only complaint is the number of courses, although three courses are satisfying I would like to have seen more. This game is a must have for the golfer in you.
