• Golf Adventure: Enroll your Mii™ character in golf training at a prestigious country club and go from rookie to pro!

All holes are open at the start, but once a player sinks a ball in it, the hole is closed. Race against opponents to be the first to win three flags.

Reward for this month is blue, green, and yellow Toads. Time to start grinding!

 

[Mr_No_U]

The new maps have been fun so far, although I wish they'd make more wacky maps similar to New Donk City.

 

[Mandos]

The new courses are brutal, if Supers weren’t turned off getting par would be impossible

 

[Red Monster]

The greens are the worst part of the new courses. It’s often not too bad getting to the green, but then putting is almost impossible because of the elevation changes.

The learning curve with the greens was tough. I'm still figuring out the new courses.

 

[Robert]

Of the two new courses, which course do we think is harder? Just from a couple of casual runs, Spiky Palms seems more difficult to me, although the trees on Blustery Basin are placed in seemingly the worst possible places.

Welcome to real golf, expert courses are no joke

Weirdly, although the trees on Basin are in bad spots, it seems much easier to recover from than Palms. Even whacking a few trees I still got a -12 on my first attempt. While on Palms I only managed -3.

 

[EvilChameleon]

I've only tackled the new courses in limited doses via ranked battles, but so far I'd say Blustery Basin. The trees are pine trees, thus big and fat, as opposed to the tall and skinny palms of Spiky Palms.

 

[Sejes]

still think its criminal this game's metacritic is so low. i know a lot of people that were turned away cause they heard it was mediocre and i've had to convince them its actually great. mario tennis ultra smash this is not

Still can't believe they didn't include the option to play first to 3 set games. It also helps that with golf, you can get new courses. With tennis, they already had all the court types covered, so characters were the only thing they could add.

I didn’t even know there were monthly rewards now.
I take it it’s too late to get last months reward?

Yes, but you aren’t missing anything from last month really. It was a costume for Boo that gave him a visor. The reward for August was better - three Yoshi colors.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Alright, got my Toad colors unlocked, now to try out the full 18 holes from these two new courses.

 

[Red Monster]

Has anyone here unlocked the super Star clubs for every character? I’ve only got it for four characters.. the time commitment seems insane, even using my cheese strats to get exp as fast as possible

King Bob-Omb only for me

 

[EvilChameleon]

First time playing all 18 of the new snow course; -1.
First time playing all 18 of the new desert course; -1.

Not bad!

 

[CaptainNuevo]

Finally getting back into this after stopping after beating the Campaign mode at launch: The online is kinda addicting. I forgot how good the golf in this feels, but it's super sad to have mostly played CPUs online still in ranked mode

Hoping I'm just low enough in the curve late in the month that most people are playing at Rank A right now.

 

[Phil32]

Managed to do a mini-marathon session to unlock the Toad costumes today!
Played against some tough opponents today who were higher ranked, but somehow fended them off and won against all of them! :O
Too bad it was the last match I needed to do, or it might have made the process go by more quickly. ha

 

[totofogo]

Super Monkey Ball and Dread tore me away from this game, I've got to get back to it.

Please let me change my story mode mii in the next patch camelot gods!! And integrate the new courses back into it while you're at it

They'll cycle back around at some point, but no way currently!

Love the online ranked matches. Quick, fun, competitive.

 

[Heron]

This was the most disappointing Nintendo game I've bought in years, and I buy a lot. Really felt like it wasn't worth close to $60 - same as a lot of Nintendo's recent sports and party games.

I'm a huge golf gamer (and a huge golfer in real life) and this game just falls so far short of other golf games in every area - from previous Mario Golf games to the far superior Everybody's Golf games to even 2k21 (which is frankly genius).

Won't go into it all here - but the big culprits are the swing mechanic changes, course design, and running to the ball - but if someone is reading this and on the fence, seriously try the game before you buy.

Like, I get the new swing mechanics in the sense that you have to account for elevation, lie, etc. but I still would’ve loved a more advanced option that allows you to manually set the accuracy (tradition 3 click). I’ll still enjoy the game but…man it could’ve been much more. Dang, even shot replays, more variety in viewing angles when you hit your shot, etc would’ve been great. Feels like the entire game was designed around the speed rush aspect and I feel like they went all in on this mode ti the detriment of every other aspect of the experience.

I do hope we get a PGA Tour 2k23 in the spring (that’s a bit more polished, includes crowds, maybe even a 3 click system since EA is bringing that back with their golf game). But I halfway suspect 2K will leave Switch owners lacking.

I wouldn't mind a 6 or 9 hole mode. Sometimes 3 holes is just too quick.
