Summary: YOU are the Golf Course Tycoon!
Review: 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.

Summary: Not The Best Game. Too Easy!
Review: 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.

Summary: Good for a couple hours of fun
Review: I bought Golf Resort Tycoon after having played Rollercoaster Tycoon for several weeks. This game doesn't have nearly as much to offer than Rollercoaster Tycoon does, so don't get your hopes up too much.

Your job in the game is to design a golf course and place hotels, restaurants, and other shops around it in an attempt to create a resort.

Building the golf course is too easy and doesn't allow for a whole lot of flexibility. You place the area where the golfers tee off from, indicate the direction and width of the fairway(s), and place the hole. There are some tools which allow you to modify the terrain, but you need to use them before you create that particular hole. In other words, you cannot create valleys or hills on fairways or greens after you create the hole. When your hole is built, you may add sand or water hazards. About 20 of each are available. You can also build cart paths (too bad there are no golf carts in the game) and landmarks. I had hoped the game would offer more in terms of complexity of course design.

As you build your course, you'll also place coffee shops, restaurants, bathrooms, maintenance facilities, recreational facilities, and other buildings around your resort in order to attract more guests.

The game offers about 10 different scenarios and includes a tutorial.

The game crashed on me twice during the first three hours I played it. The game periodically saves your progress, but it can be frustrating having to rebuild anything, so save your game often.

Overall, I think the twenty bucks I paid for the game was worth the four hours of fun I had with it, but if you haven't played Rollercoaster Tycoon yet, I'd definitely buy that one first.

Summary: Ok but still BAD
Review: I find this game interesting but not that fun. Activition did a great job on other games, but on this one crashed and burned. Activition found a fascinating topic but no real story line. I played Ski Resort Tycoon before but this one was different. I don't know why but I found that Ski Resort Tycoon more interesting. You don't see Golf Tycoon having Movie Theaters. I think this time Activision. was focosing more on the elderly folk. Other than that I think this game was..........ok.

Review: Interesting concept. Great graphics. My only problem is the game tends to run a little slow and freezes up every so often.

Summary: Too sloooow, too repetitive
Review: The concept is interesting, but the application falls far short of the mark. The gameplay is very slow on an older machine, and even on 1.6 Pentium is poor. The golf course design applications are vey crude, especially in comparision to the golf architect functions in golf simulations like Jack Nicklaus golf or Tiger Woods. In addition, those products give you the opportunity to play the course.

The challenges are very easy provided you have the patience to wait for enough money to come in for building the course, and you don't mind endlessly chasing gophers. This is a poor imitation of good products like Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon.

Review: The games is ok but for some reason it runs very slow. If you have a fast computer you will enjoy it but if you have a slower computer you may not enjoy it like me!.
