Our take on World of Golf
The defining detail is direct club control: shots are produced through physical swings rather than button presses, with swing direction affecting hooks, slices, fades, and draws.
What is World of Golf?
This virtual-reality title places players on an 18-hole golf course at home.
Clubs are controlled through physical swings, with hooks, slices, fades, and draws determined by the motion. Players can inspect the course by moving through a room-scale area and use a break-reading grid on the greens. Practice areas include a driving range and putting green, while hole diagrams assist with planning shots. Options include left- or right-handed play, local multiplayer, online leaderboards, and club-color changes. The current course uses a complete club set. Planned additions listed by the vendor include extra courses, golf carts, internet-based multiplayer, weekend competitions, and computer-controlled opponents.
