This is a very cartoony approach to a golf game, and the bombastic Mario Kart style just doesn't work for a game as slow and serene as golf. The adventure mode is slow and boring, the music is blaring and obnoxious, and the actual golfing only includes 36 holes that are even slightly normal with the rest being full of Mario world enemies and obstacles. This kind of cartoony approach can work for some sports like racing and soccer, but with golf you just get the worst of both worlds.
