Phi Golf – The Indoor Golf simulator review
How can you play golf when the courses are closed? We asked long-term TSGer John Barber to tell us how he has been playing through lockdown using the Phi Golf Simulator.
The Phi Golf Golf Simulator.
At around £200, this game is well ahead of the types of golf games that first appeared on the Wii several years ago. In fact, with Phi Golf, you feel like we’ve fast-forwarded 50 years, not just 10!
I’ve now been playing the game for almost a fortnight and it is fun – and you do feel as though you have been swinging a club. The golf game simulator allows up to 4 players, so would be ideal if you wish to invite people round for a game (when that is permitted!). BUT, make sure you wear the wrist strap because I can see the ‘wand’ going straight through a screen or window.
What the manufacturer tells us…
Phigolf WGT Edition is a brand-new way to play your favourite golf game! Now, use your real golf swing instead of playing with your fingers on a screen.
Have your very own mobile golf game simulator at home with the photorealistic graphics you know and love from the WGT! Even play for real on world-famous golf courses with the Phigolf swing stick and 9-Axis 3D swing sensor.
Be amazed as the avatar on-screen mirrors your swing in real-time! Play a round of golf remotely with friends and family wherever they are in the world!
Phi Golf – The Verdict…
- I know we have all been missing golf lately (COVID etc) but I wish I had bought this when I first saw it.
- You get to swing a ‘club’, it gives you a round of golf in around 30 minutes, and you feel you have ‘played’.
- The only thing missing is the 5-mile walk (and the rain, cold and lost balls).
- I give it 5 out of 5 STARS!
