This golf game was released in 1984 and is a power-up version of the 1983 "3D Golf Simulation," featuring all-machine language for faster playability and multiplayer support for up to four players for a more interesting golf experience.

The game takes place on a beautiful coastal course with 18 holes, 6063 meters in length, and a par of 72. After first selecting the starting hole, number of players, and player names, the game begins. Shots are made by selecting a grab, deciding the direction of the shot, and timing the up and down bars. This is a system that can be found in today's golf games, so players will be able to enjoy intuitive play.

As the words "3D" and "simulation" in the title suggest, the game's main feature is its precise calculations. For example, for each shot, a 3D view screen is generated from the position of the shot, the ball's trajectory is calculated, and the rebound coefficient, angle, wind speed, and other factors for each fairway and rough are taken into account to create an excellent simulation of golf. At the time, this level of calculation was extremely groundbreaking, and it was talked about as a way to enjoy a realistic golf game.

This title is indispensable when talking about golf games in their early days. In addition to the enjoyment of golf, this title is also notable as an "ambitious title" that challenged the limits of the PCs of the time.
