The only drawback is the missing PGAJan 24, 2006
By Aaron L. Shaw
"Casual Reviewer"
Wow. What a great game on the DS. This is not the prettiest game, or the most notable. But it is FUN FUN FUN! Using the stylus to control the swing works great. Nintendo continues to innovate and change the way we play games. There are at least 15 courses. This is enough to keep anyone entertained for a long long time. There are no PGA anything in this game. But for what it lacks in realism it makes up for in fun. Get this game if you have even a moderate affinity for golf.

A Satisfying No Frills Golf GameJun 24, 2006
By A. Ectal Greenhaw
"ectal"
At a glance, True Swing Golf appears to offer an average gaming experience. With graphics that you would expect from a mobile phone game rather than a DS game, a general lack of charm in the presentation, and an extremely limited set of game options and modes, the player's initial impression may be one of disappointment.
You can't do much to customize your golfer, the equipment system is best summed up as "buy the most expensive gear you can", there are no licensed courses, four basic game modes (stroke, match, practice, championship), and you can't even save videos of your best holes.
Despite all of these shortcomings, the game is insanely fun. Mostly, it comes down to the controls, the courses, and the physics. The basic mechanics of making a shot are incredible. Line up your shot, get ready to swing, set your spin, decide whether you want to click L for a powered up shot, then guide the club head back and quickly up through the ball. Incredible, intuitive, and when you crush it just right, amazingly satisfying.
In spite of some very devious greens, the courses are wonderful. Unlike many golf video games, you really do need to think through your strategy, aiming for just the right spot and roll on the fairway to push the ball that extra 20 yards. And attempting mastery of some of the tougher holes gives this game a huge amount of replay value.
If this game had any kind of license attached to it, it'd be perfect. If you married the swing system and the other basics of this game to the Mario Golf franchise, it would likely be not just the best handheld golf game but the best golf video game ever made. Since Nintendo is the publisher of this game, it's a mystery they didn't wait and do just that.
So if spartan presentation with excellent mechanics is good enough for you, get this game without hesitation. Otherwise, wait and see if Mario Golf DS ever appears.

 A must have game for ds owners.Jan 20, 2007
By R. Killough
"cary"
The best golf game on the DS. Very good graphics. Excellent play control.
Multi-player with other DS owners even if they don't have a game card.
You win money as you win tournaments which allows you to purchase equipment upgrades and change how your player looks.

agree with earlier reviewsSep 05, 2006
By lawrence bonk
"Ldawg"
This game is frustrating based on the lack of "Frills" it offers in this day and age. It has about as much play modes as a super nintendo golf game or something. BUT, for some reason I always want to play it. The basic play mechanics are just that fun. When you are in the zone it seems like the easist game in the world, 10 minutes later you might want to throw your DS at a wall in anger. Just like real golf. It just sort of feels like real golf a lot of the time which is probably the best thing that can be said for a video game simulation. If they make a sequel and they beef up the rest of the game, we could be looking at a real classic.
Could be more, but good game.Aug 17, 2011

"Ken"
I bought this game for my son. I played with it first to judge for myself. It is an interesting game, hard to play in the car at first, lots of slicing, I like it though. Good mix of challenges. My six year old son loves it, that's good for me.
