Our Expert Score

88/100

Neo Turf Masters (or Big Tournament Golf) is a legendary arcade classic, and this ACA NEOGEO port brings it to mobile with perfect accuracy. This is arguably the most addictive golf game ever made. It strips away the slow, simulation-heavy elements of modern golf games and replaces them with fast-paced, high-stakes arcade action.

The 'three-click' swing mechanic is incredibly tight, and the different golfers provide meaningful variety in how you tackle each course. The music is iconic, and the bright, chunky sprites look fantastic on modern screens. With the addition of online rankings and a save-state feature, it's never been easier to enjoy this masterpiece. Whether you're a golf fan or just an arcade enthusiast, this is a must-own for your mobile library.
