Golf is now available in "Nintendo Switch Sports"!
Golf is a sport where players compete to get around the course with the lowest score (number of shots).
The rules are the same in the new "Nintendo Switch Sports" version of golf, where players swing the Joy-Con to send the ball flying and aim for the cup in as few shots as possible, just like in real golf. The winner is the player with the lowest score.
Golf includes a total of 21 holes!
Nintendo Switch Sports" includes 21 holes of golf from the "Wii Sports" series with a great view.
The stage features a large L-shaped hole with an expansive fairway, a hole surrounded by trees that can become obstacles, ahole where the green is surrounded by the ocean, and many more.
Before you hit the ball, you'll need to do some swinging!
"Nintendo Switch Sports" golfers can check the strength and direction of their swing by taking a swing before hitting the ball. The secret to success is to look at the course map and adjust the amount of force according to the point you want to hit the ball. In addition, each hole has its own wind direction and speed, and the wind direction and speed shown in the upper right corner of the screen must be taken into account when hitting. Check the wind direction in advance and adjust the direction of your shot!
On the green, check the elevation!
Once on the green, roll the ball with the putter and aim for the cup, just as in the normal golf rules. However, it is not always possible to just hit the ball straight to the cup. This is because the green has a difference in elevation, and you need to take into account the bend of the ball. Also, the further away from the cup, the more difficult it becomes, and the more you need to consider and adjust the strength and direction of your shot. If you are trying to get a cup in on the green, be sure to check the elevation difference first!
You can play with up to 8 players! Survival Golf
In general, golf is played with a maximum of four players per team, but "Nintendo Switch Sports" offers a "Survival Golf" mode that allows up to eight players to play together!
In "Survival Golf," up to eight players can play together around the course at the same time, with the player with the highest number of shots being eliminated first. Keep your score low until the end to win!
