About

Everybody's Golf, known in Japan as Minna no Golf, is the first game in the Everybody's Golf series. The North American release was renamed Hot Shots Golf. It was the only game in the series to be developed by Camelot Software Planning, which later developed the Mario Golf series.

What players say

A charming, cartoony arcade golf game that's easy to pick up but hard to master, with precise controls under its playful surface. Beloved as a party-friendly crowd-pleaser that launched a long-running cozy series.
