Golf is a game that allows you to relax while hitting a ball. For less experienced players, they can fall back on the mini-golf, which won't require to rent a cart or have a backpack full of golf clubs.
Golf games will reproduce the game of a golfer as if it actually took place. He will choose his club, hit straight and strong for the ball to reach the hole.
Some golf games also require the intervention of the player before hitting the ball since you will have to move objects which are on the track and might block the ball.
