Gameplay
Golf: Tee it up! is a arcade golf game with 2 different 18 hole courses (there are more available with dlc). One is called Caribbean and the other is called parkland. They are both good and you'll find yourself enjoying them both, Parkland is actually harder than the Caribbean so there is a good challenge and an easier one to relax on for the less experienced player. The concept is similar to other arcade golf games: you decide the power and direction on the ball to try and get it to the green, this works well and the gameplay here is good especially the putting.

Multiplayer
The multiplayer is exactly the same as the single player but is even better as you have the added advantage of playing with your friends. This makes the game more interesting as you can just chill out and have a friendly competition with your friends. The gameplay is the same as with single player. It would've been nice to see some kind of spectator mode here so other friends could watch but that's only an idea.

Graphics
The graphics are pretty decent for when it came out to be honest I like the colour setup and the arcade feel to the graphics are good. The level of detail is actually decent considering this is quite an old arcade game. The colour are vibrant and bold and the characters look nice. The courses look really nice and graphics are quite sharp. Overall they are not the best but they are actually pretty decent considering when they came out and how much this game costs. I will add some screenshots below.

CONTROLS
The controls are very simple to use you power up your shot and then the accuracy is determined by pressing the button as the white power bar approaches where it started from, it works very well for this arcade game and when you do it a couple of times you will have no problem with it. It is good as it is the same button for power as it is for accuracy this is nice because it removes any awkwardness from switching buttons and just makes it easier to play with. The controls are basic but they do the job well, no issues with them at all.
