I was on the fence about this purchase for a bit, a extra 200 dollars for the stand and lit up marquee is a bit much. Once it is complete and it’s a flashback of good times. 4 editions and 3 courses on each. Also saving stats is awesome, graphics are outdated of course but the games are 10 plus years old. Trackball seems to be good quality, no issues so far. Fore!!!!

I was on the fence about buying this for about a month; however, I’m glad I made this purchase.
First of all, I purchased this fir $250. This is a steal, but I would leave the same review if it were purchased for more or at full price.
Assembly was straight forward and I completed this in about two hours alone (besides for my 5 year old managing the build process). This is my first Arcade1up cabinet and I was satisfied with the quality of the material.
Once it got up and running my son and I were hooked. If it weren’t for being 65 degrees day in Michigan in November I’m sure we would have played it all day. I’ve never really play the current versions at bats, but for being classic versions I’m satisfied with the controls and looks (clearly pixilated to match the +20 years these games have aged).
The best thing about this set vs the others are the playability. With twelve courses and changing wind speeds will make for a new game every time.
To wrap this up, if you like to watch or play golf this is a great addition to any basement, man cave, etc. I already have friends asking me to start a league night at my house. The only downside is now I’m going to start spending my money onGolden Tee at the bar.

This game was surprising made well for the price! The action of the buttons and scrolling ball is just like the arcade version. This cabinet with the riser is a little smaller than a full-sized arcade game but not too small. It's actually a perfect size for the home. While putting it together I realized how nicely made this unit is.

I finally bought Golden Tee for $250 after waiting all year on a good deal. The Golden Tee Arcade1up is a perfect addition to my home arcade and I definitely think it's my most played Arcade1up that I own now. You cannot go wrong buying this Arcade1up and especially if you enjoyed the original Golden Tee arcades.

Good reminder of days gone by and times playing this during happy hours. Game is true to form, although I miss the ability for backspin and fly overs. Those were added in later arcade versions of the game. Graphics are sub par in today’s world, but for the price I paid (on sale) it was an excellent purchase.

A great entry level arcade system, trackball is smooth, and feels great for the price, esp for the 249 I paid. If you live golden tee, their really isn't much to think about when purchasing this unit, it's exactly what you would want out of a golden tee arcade, I only wish it would've came with wifi

Out of all the arcade1up products that I own, this is the one I come back to the most. It takes a bit of getting used to it you're unfamiliar but after a few games, you'll feel right at home. Bonus points for adding so many courses spread over 4 different games... Really drives up the replayability.

Arcade1Up games are amazing! I have four and love how they look in my game room. I am an 80s girl and enjoy bringing the arcade world to my teens. I cannot wait to add a few more and a pool table. If you do not have one, get one - these are so easy to put together and so fun to play.

Just how I remembered the game. Fun game to kill some time with friends. I would have given 5 stars but the track ball was defective. If the machine was not so bulky, I would have brought it back to Best Buy. The manufacturer was responsive via email and sent a replacement part.

This item is perfect. My husband does not ask for much, so when he showed interest in this I jumped on it. I was worried he would lose interest and a Mo later he is still making sure to get at least 1 round in each day. I have played a few times and it is a fun game.

Great smaller version of the one me and my friends used to play years ago, it saved me from having to pay the $3-5K on the larger game! It brought back so many fond memories of the fun we used to have playing it while partying and of a friend who is no longer with us.

Just like the original one but a little smaller. Very easy to put together. Only problem is that I got it for my son and my granddaughters (10 & 8) have decided that it belongs to them, so if he wants to play he has to ask them for permission. A great family gift.

If you’re looking for a model with current graphics this is not for you. If you’re looking for something fun to have at home when buddies are over this is for you. It works great and is fairly inexpensive compared to other cabinet video games. But with confidence.

I've played the arcade game in bars for many years and this took me back. If you're looking for crisp graphics or realistic character images, this is not the right game for you. If you enjoyed the old golden tee game as it was, it's a home run. I've been playing for a month with no issues, tracker ball is responsive just be careful of rolling too fast or you may slam your hand into the screen (distance is a little close). Backspin button would be a huge upgrade, but well worth it as is.

It’s a cool machine to have. Played a lot when I was younger. My kids like to play it. A little pricey because of the quality. The graphics aren’t the best and the screen seems a little to close to the track ball. It wasn’t to hard to put together.

Best Arcade1Up Trackball Cabinet

I expected fully to enjoy this machine, but even I'm surprised as to how much I've been getting out of it so far. It's the best trackball cabinet thus far by Arcade1Up, the trackball is sufficiently large and weighty that you can actually get good english going on it.

You would think its gimmicky, but it's on the opposite end. It's a great product, no cracked screen, no missing parts,functions and is fun as I remember. I cook dinner and turn around a swing a few rounds, fun times. Buying Mortal Kombat next.
