Arcade1Up - Golden Tee Arcade - Golden Tee Black

I love Arcade 1up to start with. I have the Mortal Kombat cabinet and now this one. I’ve replace my original Golden Tee cabinet for one of these. It plays just like the original one but in a smaller package. Also just to let ppl know the game quality that is in the original one from early 2000 is still there it’s not remastered or anything. Anyone on the fence for this game will not be disappointed.

I was hesitant to buy this at first because I know how these smaller scale games usually are: not durable, not like the game I remember, etc. However, even at this game being 3/4 of the actual game’s original size, it’s still quite sturdy and has the same feel of the original, but obviously doesn’t take up as much space. The game play is EXACTLY like the game that was in bars, and surprisingly, it was still fun. I say surprisingly because sometimes old school games are much more fun in memory than they actually are now. It has an on/off switch when not in use, but your course records remain on the game even after turning it off. There is also a switch to mute the sound if you’re not trying to hear that British announcer criticize you when you make a poor shot (“Get the chainsaw”). It has all the courses from the first four years the game was in production (the original, then ‘98, ‘99, and 2k. I did have to assemble it, but the instructions were easy to follow and it only took me about 30-45 minutes with my 10 year old repeatedly jumping in to “help” me put it together. If I had any complaint about this game it’s that the screen is straight up and down and close to the roller to hit with. This is how the game in the bar was also, but I’m still not a fan of trying to hit a hard shot and jamming my finger on the screen (if you’ve played, you know). All in all, it’s a well designed and put together machine. I am very happy with the purchase.

I love this game. It was in every bar, restaurant, arcade, everywhere! Love how the play and graphics are still retro, easy to put together, just don't overtighten the screws, they recommend a screwdriver not a drill, just set it low speed or run them in some, then hand tighten the rest way so not to strip any. I'm 6'2" so I have to bend over even with riser, so I may raise it more, overall, love it!

It's been just over a month and I love this unit. Was able to play it multiple times with multiple people and it has the same feel as in a bar. Highly recommend for a rec room. I noticed a couple reviews saying the graphics aren't the best, but it looks just like the graphics of Golden Tee in 99' when it was original and supposed to be. It is a bit smaller than a version at a bar, but I love it because it is easy to move and does not take as much space. Being a person of 6ft, you need to crouch to play, but it is not a big deal. Personally I put a bar stool in front of hit to sit when I or someone plays. Assembly: I am not handy at all and was dreading this. But it was very easy to setup with the step by step instructions and take me 45 minutes to fully assemble.

Pretty affordable classic version of the game. With the riser just about traditional arcade height. Kid height without the riser. Easy to assemble but takes about an hour. Plays well. Grainy graphics but authentic to what it was with the original. Only had it a little while so we’ll have to see if it stands the rest of time. Seems worth the price to find out. So far so good.

I was able to grab this for $250 on Black Friday. It’s everything I hoped it would be and a steal at that price. It was reasonably easy to build - I have several arcade1up machines I found this one among the simplest. Gameplay is a perfect representation of the arcade versions. The trackball & buttons work fine, but they do have a vague cheapness to them. It’s to be expected from a low cost home machine and if they break they’re fairly easy to replace. For any price under $300, you would be crazy to pass up putting this arcade classic into your home. The included riser and lighted marquee are just the icing on the cake! Very happy, off to shoot 18...

It is old skool and I love it. A little assembly requires but worth it. If you want an HD brand new video game this isn’t it. If you bought it as a great old skool at jade game for your man cave this is it!!!

Great arcade for the price I paid when I purchased this online from Best Buy, however it was challenging to assemble, especially setting and attaching the LED screen into the display. I ended up having to drill new holes to hold the screen in place. The riser it came with is so helpful to increase the height of the display for taller people. Other than that, the remaining assembly went smooth and it's been a great addition to our game room in the lower level of our house!
