About the game
Golf Masters is part of the line of physical dexterity games published by Goldsieber published under the DSF imprint (see also: Tennis Masters). The game is played like real golf over a series of 18 holes with a target number for par. Each hole is constructed from some combination of the six modular boards or a subset thereof. A recommended tournament course is provided. There are special rules for each of the course hazards, including trees, sand traps, and ponds. Included in each game are two golfers of molded plastic and a metal club that extends through the body to a crank. By twisting the crank, the golfer will swing the club to hit a small fuzzy ball down the course. The game is scored like real golf. Includes German, English, French, Italian, and Dutch rulebook.

Questions and answers
Golf Masters supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Golf Masters is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Golf Masters for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Golf Masters has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Golf Masters belongs to these categories: Action / Dexterity and Sports. Its main mechanics are Modular Board.
