Guide Review
To buy or not to buy?
Want a golf resort management sim for a reasonable price? You should think about "Golf Resort Tycoon II." It fixes many of bugs and adds new features. The thing I really like about the second version is that there is a way to change the speed. So now you don't need to sit and wait to accumulate money.

Also new to this version is the ability to golf your own courses. In this mode you can golf on your own course or play a premade one. You even have to choose which golf clubs to use. So knowledge about golf is definitely a plus! It does take some practice to hit the ball in the right direction and with correct force.

If you enjoyed the first version, or passed up on the first because of negative reviews, you may want to think about getting the new version for the added features. If you enjoy a challenge, and micromanagement games, you may like this one.

To learn more about the basics of the game read the first version's review.
