Mr. Golf is a fun one-to-four player golf game where players are drawn in a cute cartoony style and the courses are all fictitious. The game features two modes of play: stroke play or match play, with matches that can be played over three, six, nine, or eighteen holes.
The game has several key features to keep players engaged, including background music and an in-game commentary system that provides stock phrases to react to the player's shots. An in-game tutorial teaches players how to use the controls, which include using the right analogue stick for shot power and the left analogue stick for aiming.
The game offers a range of options to customize gameplay, including the ability to swap the use of the right and left sticks and to change the selected club. Players can also take practice swings to gauge their backswing before taking a shot. The full game features fourteen playable characters, eight courses, plus mirrored courses that can be played in any of four seasons.
