Our take on Golfing in Aether
Players who want a fixed course structure may bounce off when a game begins, as holes are randomly selected and assembled into a layout. Local groups may also hit a setup limit when more than 4 players use individual controllers; Shared Input is the alternative for up to 8 local players.
