App version of Golden Tee Golf coming

VERNON HILLS - Incredible Technologies will launch a mobile app version of its popular Golden Tee Golf game for Apple and Android platforms on Oct. 28.

A staple in bars and restaurants nationwide, Golden Tee, where players hit a palm-sized trackball instead of swinging a golf club, has a contingent of devoted fans. Over the last 30 years, it's been played by more than 20 million people.

Golden Tee Mobile utilizes the same gameplay physics as the original arcade game. Like the original, players will have the ability to customize their avatar's name, look, clothing and equipment while navigating golf destinations around the world.

The app will launch in the United States with six nine-hole courses. Six more courses will be released after launch. Players can compete against other golfers in real-time contests, refine their skills in Challenges or Campaign Mode and score rewards in a feature called the Daily 9.

"Like the arcade game, this is an experience that will resonate with so many different people. And we're just scratching the surface on what we have planned," said Golden Tee Golf design lead Adam Kramer.
