There are a few games that utilize a dexterity mechanic ( Goofy Golf Machine) but most try to simulate the sport in other ways. Outside of making a dexterity game there is no way you can accurately simulate the sport in a board game.
I found this to be surprising since like a lot of sports golf doesn’t translate all that well to board games. What I was a little surprised by was the fact that there has been well over a hundred different board/card games made based on the sport. With how popular the sport is I am not surprised that there have been quite a few board/card games created for the sport over the years.
My personal opinion is that it is boring to watch and somewhat fun to play even though I haven’t golfed much. While golf may not be for everyone it has a lot of avid fans.
