Swing Away Golf, a less-than-serious take on the game, may remind many of Hot Shots Golf, and that's not surprising since it was developed by many of the same designers. Seven different golfers are available initially, but success in the tournament mode will unlock three more, as well as additional courses, golf clubs and gameplay modes. It's also possible to design your own dream course or have one randomly generated. And although it's not a strict simulation, the subtleties of real golf have been included for demanding players.

You can play a 4 player match (basically take turns and finish with the best score), or, if you don't have any pals around at the time, go for story mode, where you choose your warrior, distribute skill points (in areas of power, accuracy, control, etc.) and make a career (in other words, work your way from amateur to pro, winning as many tournaments as possible, etc.)
