There are also small RPG elements to the game, as the player's pro golfer earns new skill points by successfully executing different shots and there are also special decorations for courses that give status effects to the player's character. In addition to tournaments, money can also be earned by accepting challenges from richer members of the golf club and play with them for money, where the person with the higher score has to pay a set amount. The player can take part in the tournaments with their own pro golfer. The player also has to tend to the needs of each guest/member, with categories such as hunger, thirst and energy being what needs to be focused on.ĭepending on the number of holes on contained in the course, it is also possible to have golf tournaments arranged including large televised tournaments. To keep club members happy, it is imperative to keep as much variation in how each hole is made as possible so the members do not get bored. Each hole will be rated and given characteristics based on the way it is constructed. The goal of Sid Meier's Simgolf is to create golf course that looks exciting and difficult, but is simple enough such that club members don't get frustrated and can finish the course. Players can also play their course with their custom professional golfer (using basic controls in the isometric viewpoint), as well as participate in championships (in which they can level up their golfing skill and earn money for their courses). Sid Meier's SimGolf (not to be confused with Maxis's original 1996 SimGolf) is an isometric golf course management simulator developed by Firaxis (in collaboration with Maxis) and published by Electronic Arts for the PC on January 23, 2002.ĭesigned by Sid Meier for Maxis's Sim series, players must design and manage successful golf courses while tending to the needs of the golfers and maintaining course finances.
