I’ve setup up emulation and have had a blast playing Everybody’s Golf 6 for the PS3. It is such a chill game. Golf games are really underrated and everybody’s golf does a great job of cartoony arcade game mixed with just enough real golf to make it interesting. Perfect on the Deck.

Yeah golf games are weird, I didn’t grow up playing golf and thus had zero connection to the aesthetics of golf, the wealth associations with it or the game itself.
Then I fell in love with disc golf and realized the game of golf (whether it be little bitty balls or discs) is an amazing way to dissect your psyche like you are some scientist in a lab pushing an animal to its mental limit except it isn’t fucked up because the animal is you.
Still most golf games… just realllllly don’t do it for me.
I think my favorite so far is honestly the phone game Mars Golf because it is a golf game that embraces the zen of golf. It recontextualizes what golf is in a way that makes it far more broadly appealing in my opinion.
How does Everybody’s Golf 6 compare to other golf games? Do you have any other recommendations? I am interested in anything from Turbo Golf and Golf With Friends to realistic golf simulators, it is more a matter if the game is rewarding to master or not.

I’ve really liked Everybody’s golf so far. I used to play it on the PSP, but then thought I might as well get the most up to date version possible. This 6th version had plenty of recommendations online as one of the best. It has got just enough real golf (compensation for wind, ground type, ground slant, height, etc) and arcade elements (hitting curve balls or super spin, a variety of clubs and balls types to pick for added stats, etc). I’d recommend trying it out. You’ll know after the first few rounds whether you’re going to like it or not.
I’ve also really liked stick man golf on the phone. PGA golf gets plenty of recommendations online too, but I didn’t want anything that was too realistic.
