Incredible Technologies are the masterminds behind the phenomenon that is Golden Tee Golf, an age-old arcade golf game that, since 1990, has amassed a passionate following of bar-going golf enthusiasts, and later professional gamers with an edge for competitive gameplay. Though initially the game was oriented more towards the bar crowds, it quickly evolved into a highly competitive title with yearly tournaments and a fanbase that spans the entire globe. As such, Golden Tee Golf, is as much a successful arcade game as it is a household name when it comes to home arcade gaming.
With that being said, it’s important to point out that the Golden Tee franchise is one that generates high sales both to venues as well as to individuals for gaming at home. Moreover, considering the release of the latest entry in the series, Golden Tee PGA Tour, earlier this year, it’s probably appropriate at this point that Incredible Technologies works to put the finishing touches on the home version of this game.
Dubbed Golden Tee PGA Tour Clubhouse, this home version of the popular golf arcade game brings all the fun and excitement of the arcade game, but from the comfort of the user’s living room couch. In this sense, players can expect to find the exact same experience as the game’s arcade counterpart, but without any of the attract and monetization features. This offering includes, according to the game’s product page on IT’s website:
- New, Reimagined Cabinet
Log in to games with groundbreaking NFC check in; OR use the new 5-inch touchscreen. Plus, keep your drink secure with all-new cupholders positioned on the cabinet.
- REAL PGA TOUR Courses
Play Hole 17 on TPC Sawgrass, the most famous hole in golf and six PGA TOUR courses overall. All six tournament stops were created using real topography data. Every blade of grass is accounted for!
- More Than 100 Courses Overall
From the real to the fantasy, tee off on more than 100 completely original designs that will take players to courses around the globe.
- Online Play Available

The Golden Tee PGA Tour Clubhouse edition comes in two versions; the Standard version, and the Deluxe version. And while both of them offer the same gameplay aspects, the latter has a few more aesthetical and practical bells and whistles, along with a higher price tag, to make it stand out. Here are how both versions compare, according to their product pages:
Golden Tee PGA TOUR Clubhouse Standard Edition includes:
- NFC reader
- 5″ Touchscreen
- Wi-Fi enabled
- Cupholders
Golden Tee PGA TOUR Clubhouse Deluxe Edition includes:
- NFC reader
- 5″ Touchscreen
- Wi-Fi enabled
- GT PGA TOUR Marquee
- Illuminated Shroud
- Illuminated Cupholders
- TV Stand
- Side Panels
Neither of these cabinets include a screen or a TV, though they can be easily hooked up to any 4K TV at home. Additionally, the Deluxe edition comes with its own TV stand designed to hold any 55” 4K TV. Nevertheless, if you don’t use the stand, the games can still connect to a TV or monitor of any size, though the 4K requirement is mandatory.
