The Japanese version of Sony's beloved relaxed golf, where cute characters and colourful courses make the sport irresistibly accessible. The few-press swing hides real finesse, and every successful shot delivers an instant satisfaction. Relaxed yet deep, this convivial game is savoured solo or in a group, an ideal companion for sessions as peaceful as they are addictive.

Beneath its approachable surface, the experience hides unexpected depth: unlocking courses, characters and gear takes patient hours of practice. Challenges and online play renew the mastery of the three-tap swing. This greedy progression, native to the series, makes it a surprisingly long-lasting golf game.
A laid back golf simulation from Clap Hanz, known in the West as Everybody's Golf, Minna no Golf 5 transposes the sport into accessible games with a simple power gauge, in colourful settings peopled with charming characters. The immediate pick up and play, the hidden depth of placement and spin and the multiplayer fun make it a timeless golf. The Japan exclusivity of this edition and the end of online play weigh. A convivial golf for fans of accessible sport and relaxed games among friends.
