    Very easy to set up. Bought for my dad for fathers day. He has been playing it a lot everything seems to be working and doesnt overheat or have any issues. The only thing I would say is when using the roller to hard you can hit the screen. Seems to stand up to the hits but not sure how long. I did buy this for 200 off the price fyi.

    Check the PCB and screen first

    Looks pretty good assembled, though the family thought it was smaller than they liked. Things went rapidly downhill after turning it on — the screen showed continuous interference (despite checking that all connections were tight) and the game would freeze after a few holes (even after unplugging it and turning it on again). I then saw other videos online of the Golden Tee unit having freeze issues, which is disappointing. At the end of the day, no one in the family wanted to keep it, and it was returned. If you do want to keep it (even with the diminutive size), then try powering on the screen and PCB (properly grounded) first before assembling the cabinet.

    This is my second Arcade1Up cabinet (NBA JAM), and I have been extremely impressed with Golden Tee. The game is fun (and hard), the cabinet was easy to set up and I think it will be used a ton. I was skeptical on the trackball before I bought it, but it has performed better than I could have imagined. Very happy with this purchase.

    Got this on sale. I always wanted a golden tee arcade and was too cheap to buy one and to lazy to build one. Well i got it and i knew it was the size of a standard 1up arcade. My impressions: Its golden tee. Fun to play while with friends. Its small. Really small. Quality of 1up arcade... well im going to be that guy. This isnt of the highest quality. I can definitely see how they can make money on this and how its a wanted commodity for any of the 1up games. We have all wanted to own an arcade machine at one point in our lives but couldnt justify a few thousand dollars for a stand up machine. My thoughts? These are worth no more than 150 bucks at most. Why do i say this? Well Ive made a few stand up arcades in the past. A stand up mame if your not lazy can be built for around 250. Depending on how crazy you want to be with what it can play.

    Game is fun but the screen went blank after 30 days. 1up Arcade did send me a replacement motherboard but still wasn’t very happy it went out so quick with very little use. Hoping I just got a bad one we will see how long the replacement last.

    I love the game play and the cabinet design is great. The controls feel good and overall it's a good buy. However Arcade1up seems to have quality control issues so don't be surprised if you need to make a call to get some replacement parts. If you can get an extended warranty, do it.

    Quality product for the money, The directions if followed step by step is an easy setup. Should be a lot of fun when the grandsons come over. My only disappointment is the graphics are from the early days compared to PlayStation type graphics. This is an older type game and thus the graphics show it.

    My husband loved receiving this for his birthday! He plays it all the time. We have it on our covered back patio for over a year now and it has held up well to the elements and still looks great and works perfectly.

    Good quality and value for the price. Fun game to play and competitive. Not a full size arcade game, please be aware it is smaller than what is in the arcade. Trackball / console is shorter, so during stroke you can hit the screen. Made of particle board and requires construction.

    Very nice machine, ball is very accurate and responsive. Of course you would like to have a back spin button but classic GT didn't have one. Well built worth the money if you love GT. I plan to mod my machine down to the road and add silver strike as well as a backspin button.

    Set up: pretty easy with two adults. Gameplay: feels like slightly smaller version of original arcade Golden Tee. As most reviews note, this won't be tall enough to stand at and play on its own. You need a table, stool, riser for that.

    I would likely purchase again. It's a little cumbersome to assemble, this was the first one so it was the one we learned on. The graphics are sub par, so much so that I contemplated returning; however, we played it a few times and it's still really fun.

    I have 4 Arcade 1Up machines and this one easily gets the most use. It plays very similar to the original. The graphics are a little pixelated, but that is also like original. My only concern is I'm not sure how long the roller will last.
