    Not much different than Everybody Golf, but that's not a bad thing. This is my go=to when I have just a couple minutes to kill during the day and I also love cracking a few adult beverages and playing tournaments with my roommate using the pass the controller mode. One of those fun easy to learn, hard to master type games.

    An excellent arcade golf game for the Switch, the antidote for those who were disappointed by the terrible Mario Golf Super Rush.

    Pros: > excellent gameplay, simple to learn but with a lot of depth to explore > 3-click or touch controls, both are quite fun and functional > 11 well-made courses > numerous characters with their own characteristics and favorite clubs > costs $20, 1/3    An excellent arcade golf game for the Switch, the antidote for those who were disappointed by the terrible Mario Golf Super Rush.

    Pros:
    > excellent gameplay, simple to learn but with a lot of depth to explore
    > 3-click or touch controls, both are quite fun and functional
    > 11 well-made courses
    > numerous characters with their own characteristics and favorite clubs
    > costs $20, 1/3 the price of Mario Golf Super Rush, despite being better in every respect
    > the game's fundamental gameplay is basically golf, without stupid gimmicks
    > the HUD gives you just enough information to be clear about what you're doing, but it doesn't feel like "cheating" where you know exactly the trajectory of the ball before the shot

    Cons:
    > 30fps + the Switch's natural input lag isn't ideal, making precise clicks more about prediction than reaction
    > 9 holes per course
    > online tournaments that are just leaderboards is behind a paywall (Nintendo Switch Online)
    > gameplay structure is that of a mobile game, so there isn't a well-structured campaign, but several events designed to be played in small sections
    > you can't save replays (I think)

    Neutral:
    > grind is insane, but it's a fun game so I don't know if it makes sense to complain about grind, unless you're an extremely competitive player who wants to level up all the characters as quickly as possible to win all the online tournaments
    > you don't use the same character on every hole, but assemble teams and choose the players you think are most appropriate for each type of hole, weather conditions, etc.
    > there are no motion controls, which I don't mind, but I think it might be a drawback for some people
    > graphics, although nice and well animated, don't have the polish of games like more recent versions of Hot Shot Golf

    Conclusion:

    If you like arcade-style golf games, but were disappointed by the very low-quality cash-grab called Mario Golf Super Rush, then this is the best option for you on the Switch at the moment.    … Expand

    If you're like me and can't get enough classic-style golf, give Easy Come Easy Golf a try. It's not quite a hole-in-one, but still a sub-par game. (That's good, right?) [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 25]

    Easy Come Easy Golf comes with a wide range of brand new courses of stable quality. Its video tutorials make it an accessible game for newcomers to the genre as well. Easy Come Easy Golf could have the potential to create a new generation of golf game fans.

    The main thing, though, is that Easy Come Easy Golf is a joy to play. Whether you’re a newcomer to the sport/the developer or a seasoned veteran, this game will have something for you. It shows that even if the name on the game may have changed, it’s still fully lives up to Clap Hanz’s very high standards.
