It is well worth it if you like a less serious golf game than Tiger Woods. The characters are all a little zany and cartoony, in a fun way, but the golf physics are top notch.
It is a great party game with friends at home. There is even a special mode for new comers so they only have to set the distance of their swing and not time to moment of impact.
Any one can play it. You can either use basic controls to just hit the ball, or once you are more skilled, you can use button combinations to do trick shots like sidespin and backspin.
The online portions of the game are also great. You can have 50 people tournaments, but all players play at the same time as ghosts on your course, so it is really fast. And the lobby system is the most fun you'll have in a lobby. I've spent hours in the lobby. A keyboard is a near necessity to have fun in the lobby.
