Game Ratings for Mario Golf: World Tour Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Dermot Creegan
Nintendo and Camelot have created an extremely accessible game that pulls you in early and doesn't let go. It's a great experience for golf lovers and novices alike and, despite small issues, one of the best sports games on the console. With a wealth of single player options and a well tuned online experience, not to mention the impending DLC packs, Mario Golf: World Tour is a game that begs for a permanent spot in your 3DS.
GamesBeat: 79 / 100 by Jeff Grubb
I have issues with Mario Golf: World Tour, but they are completely unimportant when I'm playing the actual golfing parts. It feels great, it looks very nice, and it plays at a fast pace. And while the campaign packaging is a faint echo of Mario Golfs gone by, that didn't stop me from loving the 20 hours I spent with this entry in the franchise.
IGN: 8.6 / 10 by Brian Albert
You don't have to be a hardcore golf fan to get hooked on Mario Golf: World Tour. It rewards good play, gives plenty to do, and is a great teacher. Its incremental approach to challenge kept me coming back to test myself, and the post-game challenges and multiplayer modes inspired me to play in new ways even after I thought I was a pro.
