Customer Ratings & Reviews

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...

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.

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.

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!

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!

Great Christmas gift! Relatively easy assembly. One star is docked from this review for two reasons: 1. the console/stand is a little smaller than the standard arcade console. 2. there is a small line that keeps showing up occasionally across the screen and you have to hit it to make it go away. It’s pretty annoying. otherwise, this was a big hit. Bought it on a Black Friday price!

Reminds me of the original arcade game! The platform is a must for an adult unless you want to sit on a small stool. Easy to assemble. Cabinet is actually nicely built! Game is easy to use. Great for adults or children. Perfect addition to a game room.

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.

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.

Was excited to see what my family bought me for Christmas. Opened the package and thought it would be a second rate game. Was I surprised. Took about 45 min to put together with easy instructions. Reminds me of the old school Golden Tees I grew up in college with. Love it. Graphics are a bit pixelated but pretty much the same as from 20 years ago. While family loves it. Will update this after a months worth of use.

Got this on Black Friday. Excellent value and fun to play. Was easy to assemble.

Great game play, a little work to assemble for one person but well worth the effort. Graphics are not the greatest but the original games graphics where grainy also. Has enough different courses available so that it's not too hard or easy. If a bowling game came with this lineup it would make this game a must have! IMO

Awesome game with authentic arcade play in a smaller package. Only downside is that it only has 3 volume settings mute/low/loud. This is different from the other 5 Arcade 1UP games we have that allow for full volume control. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 star review.

My husband does a golf trip every summer with the guys. They play several courses and then once they finish on the course the go to Bdubs to play Golden Tee. I bought this for him for Christmas to have something to practice on. It’s a great game. A favorite for the whole family.

Owning both versions from Arcade1up i can say that this is the better one. I owned this one at first Then the larger 3-D version came out so I sold my original to purchase it and I was very disappointed. The rollers didn’t work as well, and the screen on this one is far better because the 3D one is washed out and cant be viewed well from angles. While this one is much cleaner and can be seen at all angles. I felt like the 3D was a step down, bigger isnt always better. So I eventually sold my 3D and bought another original when they FINALLY came back in stock. Way better choice.

I really love this machine and riser. This screams naustalgia and is a great value. I would definately purchase again.

So glad I picked up this game. Great addition to man cave. We have had many hours of fun with this. Just like the arcade in the bars.

This game has been an absolute plus to our home! Everyone likes it from the grandparents, parents, kids & grandkids. You would think the adults would only like a golf game but I'm surprised at how many youngsters gravitate to this game. We got ours for a good price, it wasn't to bad to assemble, it looks good & doesn't take up much space at all. Overall a definite crowd pleaser I would say & it seems to be holding up well to plenty of use.

Little short but game is fun to play. Takes you back to the late 90’s

Super fun, easy to set up only wish the graphic quality where a bit better!
