Hier nog wat impressies van IGN toentertijd voor diegene die het interesseert: (was idd een launchtitel Ken!)
"We should've known to trust Sega's arcade expertise a bit more. While Sega Golf Club is indeed the ugliest thing at the PlayStation 3's Japanese launch, though like its arcade counterpart, it is also an enjoyable game of digital golf.
The arcade version of the title is known for a unique swing controller, where you flip a lever back to select your power, then release when an on-screen marker reaches a hot spot. The PS3 version replicates this with the right analogue stick. You tilt the stick to select your power. A power meter indicates the power that you've selected, so you can make fine adjustments before releasing. A bar cycles right and left on top of the power meter. When it reaches the middle, you release the stick and your character swings away. Swinging is a bit more involved than in a certain other golf game that we'd been expecting at the PS3's launch, but after a bit of fiddling, you should get the "swing" of things.
Most of the game modes will be familiar from the arcade, but there's still plenty to suck up your time, especially when playing on your own. Single player modes include 18 hole round play versus 3 computer opponents, a putter golf mode featuring obstacles and prizes to earn, and challenge mode, in which short single-stroke challenges are set up in an Outrun-like progression chart. The putter mode is particularly fun thanks to the variety of obstacles and the amount of strategy required in order to collect the items that are placed on the course. Challenge mode includes 45 challenges for each of the five courses, and should require a substantial time investment, especially considering how tough some of the challenges are.
Multiplayer supports up to four players and includes 18 hole play and a short three hole match."
