Ever get home one evening and want to play golf, but the weather is not cooperating? Although it is not quite the same as playing 18, it can scratch the itch to play golf a little. Of course, I am talking about playing online with a game called Golden Fairway.
Golden Fairway allows you to compete against other people from across the country and world. If you just want to play a quick round by yourself, you can. You can also play in tournaments for prizes or challenge other players for golf balls. It is almost the same feeling of being out on the course.
If you are reading this, the chances are that you will be able to run this Golden Fairway. However, if you are on a Mac, you will need a Windows emulator to run this game.
Anyone can pick up this game and learn how to play quickly, but it does remain challenging. In addition, you can play very complex shots such as draws, fades, and flop shots. Just like in real life you will have to practice these types of shots to get them to work correctly.
The game is free. The max number of players in a group is four. You can chat with your fellow players while playing a round of golf. VOIP is also available so if you have a mic you can actually talk to your partners while you play a round.
There is a slight difference between the single player and multi-player games. The main disparity is the multi-player games are more difficult. The flight of the ball is affected more by the wind and weather, and the putting game becomes harder to read. In the single player games, the greens are almost flat, In contrast, the multi-player games the greens have slops, hills, and valleys.
There are 3 courses you can choose from. They are Canadian Rockies, Hawaii, and Arizona. The scenery and challenge differ depending on the course.
In order to play in a tournament or challenge other players for golf balls, you do have pay. For $9.99 you get 2500 tokens, in a pay as you go pay system. So, you only pay when you want more tokens. The tournament cost 100 tokens for each round you play. If you win, you will receive $10 and a scratch card with a opportunity to win up to $50,000.
The challenge feature allows players to challenge each other for a wager of 10 golf balls. The winner acquires the golf balls that can be changed into game tokens. You can use these tokens to enter the tournaments or use them to buy power shots. You can also buy a mulligan, if you hit a bad shot.
This is a very fun golf game that you can play at any time from the comfort of your home. This is my favorite online golf game. It is not quite the same as going out on the course with friends to play 18, but it is fairly close.
