Pro Golfer Saru: Kage no Tournament is based on the manga turned anime, and it's a golf game starring young golfer Sarumaru Sarutani. The main game consists of a tournament mode with two 18-hole golf courses, including prehistoric-themed Ryu course and modern-themed Tecno course.
The courses have traditional hazards like bunkers and water traps, as well as non-traditional hazards such as whirlwinds, turbines, and critters. Players can choose from a limited number of golf clubs and select where they want the club to make contact with the ball. They then aim where they want the ball to go and hit it by adjusting the power using the swing meter.
The game also features a training mode that lets players practice their golf skills.
