"From the very first seconds"
Golf stripped of all austerity: cute characters, colourful courses and a three-click swing system of perfect accessibility. Watching the ball sail toward the flag after a well-judged shot delivers an instant, surprisingly addictive satisfaction. Relaxed yet deep, this convivial sports game is savoured solo or in a group, without the slightest tedium.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Metering your power gauge, reading the wind and aiming for the birdie sets up an accessible golf where every hole sunk calls for the next. Unlocking characters, courses and outfits rewards consistency, and the chase for the best score restarts the round. The principle varies little, yet this instant pick-up-and-play feel and the generous progression keep an easygoing, lasting grip.

Chaining arcade golf courses sets up a loop where shot mastery, unlocks and progression intertwine. Unlocking characters and courses, fine-tuning your swings and chasing the best scores keep calling you back. That generosity of content, paired with accessible play, offers a lifespan golf fans cultivate.
Korean edition of the first Everybody's Golf on PSP, a Sony launch game for the console, localised for the Korean market. The Korean version stands apart through its territory-specific text and accompanies the PSP's start in Korea, giving it the status of a regional launch title. Desirability rests on this historic place on the Korean market, sought by collectors of the PSP's early days in Korea.
Is Everybody's Golf still worth playing in 2026?
An arcade golf from Sony, Everybody's Golf brings the series' accessible, cheerful formula to PSP, with its expressive characters, three-beat swing meter and whimsical courses. The instant pick-up hides real subtlety in managing wind and spin, and the multiplayer is a treat. The solo content is pleasant but classic. An excellent pocket golf, worth recommending to fans of convivial arcade sport and scoring that is both relaxed and demanding.
