I love the cab the only thing I could say is the factory monitor is awful but an easy fix for around $70 and it makes all the difference! Picture is with the upgrade.

What a great addition to our basement! I was skeptical when it came in a small box, but the pieces were very easy to put together. The instructions were self-explanatory, and it went together in a snap. Our family plays it religiously on the weekends.

It’s not perfect, but it is a five star product if this is what you’re looking for. I really wanted a Golden Tee cabinet but didn’t want to overpay for an og cab. When this popped up I was thrilled. More games, online leaderboards, bigger screen, bigger cabinet … I was down. The monitor could have better viewing angles but the screen is fine when you’re playing. Overall I am very happy with this cabinet and it is by far my most played. Even if I’m not up for eighteen holes, I can always hop into a quick round of bowling. If you’ve been in the market for a Golden Tee, this is a solid buy. Could use minor improvements but completely satisfies anything I could need from this cab.

It’s fun. Took some getting use too. The only grip I have about - I wish the graphics and resolution was bit cleaner. I also wish you could play other players via wifi / multiplayer. But it’s fun. Got my first eagle on a par 5. They put an update in which fixed the swing off the tee.

The monitors washed out from both side viewing angles, the game freezes randomly even during game play. One side panel stretched up, otherwise fun games.

I really like this game…when it works. The roller controller has gone out in less than a month. Let’s see how good their customer service is to replace it. When it works it’s awesome.

Overall a really fun game, good size cabinet, and holds true to the original. Might be disappointed if you are looking for HD graphics but this game is pretty much how it was in the 90s and is really fun. Assembly instructions are terrible. Holes in one piece are drilled incorrectly so you have to work around it. It also could use hole flyovers. That's why it's not a 5.

Got this at a great price, as they price matched it for me. I love the form factor of the new XL cabs. It was a Little more difficult to put together but afterwards i felt accomplished and it was worth it. The screen is great when you're playing standing up and in front of it.

The screen may be bigger, but is worse than the first ever arcade1ups. The company put out an update that caused trackball issues for those that installed it making it unplayable. Then, they realeased another update that was supposed to fix these issues. It did not fully address the issues. Controls are still wonky. For a game where precision controls are essential, its pretty bad. You cannot backspin the ball reliably enough to use it effectively (for purists, this is nessessary) which you could in the first golden tee. The golfer sometimes hits the ball with half power, screwing up your score. This is a total ripoff at $760. I had the original, which worked flawlessly. Sold it when I got this one. I really regret doing that. This Is my 12th Arcade1up cabinet and by far the worst. It had potential, but due to Arcade1up's quality control issues, and the fact that they seemingly don't care about their customers, this will be my last one purchased. They are getting too expensive at this point for these problems.

Hoped for better graphics, otherwise no complaints. Have been playing for a week and have had no issues. Assembly takes a few hours, so plan for it. Once assembled, just plug it in. Adding shuffle shot and bowling is a nice addition as well.

I love this cabinet. I have many arcade1up cabs but i love the overall size of the this cabinet. The XL is a true 3/4 soze cab to me and the marquee and size of monitor is great. I would have given them 5 stars butbtje screen they used was not good quality and had to replace it. Some people may be good with it but now that i relplaced the screen it is great. Hopefully they will not use this screen again.

Great cabinet- almost arcade sized. Great number of games- wifi enabled to save your high scores and best shots. Track ball works great. Viewing angle on screen is awful especially from the right side. I propped up the front of the cab a little which helped somewhat. We play this cab often really fun and bowling game is great.
