    Overall I’m happy with the machine and it is a lot of fun. Assembly takes a bit of time but isn’t bad. The instructions are a little confusing but we got through it. The only issue I had was the trackball was stuck. I worked with their support and received a replacement quickly.

    I recently got my hands on the Golden Tee 3D Deluxe cabinet from Arcade1Up, which I preordered from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with it! As a long-time arcade game enthusiast, having this iconic game at home feels like a dream come true. The wait for it to arrive was so exciting, and it definitely lived up to all my expectations. When I first unboxed the Golden Tee 3D Deluxe, I was really impressed with the quality and attention to detail from Arcade1Up. The assembly process was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions. Once it was set up, the cabinet looked fantastic and brought that authentic arcade vibe right into my home. The vibrant graphics and solid build make it a standout piece in any room. The gameplay is where this cabinet truly shines. Golden Tee has always been known for its engaging and addictive nature, and this 3D Deluxe version doesn't disappoint. The trackball control is smooth and responsive, capturing the feel of the original arcade machines perfectly. Whether I'm playing solo or competing with friends, every swing feels just right. One of the best features of the Golden Tee 3D Deluxe is the variety of courses available. With multiple courses to choose from, the game offers endless replayability. The graphics are sharp, and the 3D environments are beautifully rendered, adding to the immersive experience. It's incredible to see how well this classic game has been adapted for home use without losing any of its charm. The nostalgia factor is huge for me. Having grown up playing Golden Tee in arcades, owning this cabinet brings back so many great memories. It's not just a game; it's a piece of gaming history that I can now enjoy anytime I want. Inviting friends over to play has become a regular event, and everyone is amazed at how authentic the experience feels. The sound effects, the announcer's voice, and the overall gameplay are perfect throwbacks to the golden age of arcade gaming. Ordering from Best Buy was smooth and easy. The preorder process was simple, and the cabinet arrived on time and in perfect condition. Best Buy’s customer service was great, keeping me updated throughout the shipping process. It's reassuring to know that both Arcade1Up and Best Buy are reliable when it comes to delivering such a high-quality product. In summary, the Golden Tee 3D Deluxe from Arcade1Up, purchased through Best Buy, has exceeded all my expectations. It combines the best aspects of classic arcade gaming with modern convenience. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Golden Tee or new to the game, this cabinet is a fantastic addition to any home. The excitement and joy it brings are truly priceless. Fore!

    Always loved to play Golden Tee over the years so it is a great addition to my gameroom. But, beware! If you are a fan of modern Golden Tee, then you will be stunned at how much more difficult the older versions were--water hazards everywhere, wind that seriously blows your ball all over the place, trees that you do not just hit through, and course layouts that have very few shortcuts. In short, your days of shooting 10-under with no trouble are GONE!

    It’s good, almost great. This unit has a lot of casual replay-ability. Pros: affordable price compared to the previous model, looks great, plays great. Bowling and shuffleboard are very addictive mini games. Cons: the graphics could be better. Shuffleshot in particular is pixelated. Also a quick word of caution, on my unit the edge of the clear plexi that covers control surface was sharp. I didn’t realize it until I accidentally slammed my palm into it on a drive and cut my hand. Had to file down the edge after that.

    I absolutely love this thing. It works perfectly, and it has made an awesome addition to my mancave. Great to play alone or with friends. There are a bunch of golf courses to choose from, plus the bowling and shuffleboard features are awesome as well. If you are considering, I highly picking this up! You won’t regret it.

    Ive had this for a few months now and its become the machine in my collection I play the most. The form factor of the deluxe iteration is great and they finally brought back a good screen! I have lightly tapped the lower part of the screen surround a few times rolling a big drive, but it hasnt been a big deal at all and I have adapted to the point now that its a non issue. The addition of bowling and shuffle shot are a nice touch and are the perfect games to jump into for a quick match when you dont have time for a full round of golf. The only real criticism I have is that I wish the track ball was just a tad "smoother" in its spin. It has some light resistance (which may go away with time), but again, not something that takes away from enjoying the machine.

    Great machine if you just wanted the golden tee games. the only thing that I wish they would’ve added was the lighted coin door because it is a deluxe model. Easy to put together. Includes the screw cap covers for a finished look.

    The box was a little scuffed when it arrived but there was zero damage to the product itself. Setup was not super fast but it also doesn't feel like cheap quality. Have enjoyed playing this almost daily since arrival.
