What Parents Need to Know
About Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
Parents need to know that this is a simple golf game with accessible controls and easy-to-understand modes. Aside from a couple of moderately skimpy outfits worn by female characters, there is little that might be considered unsuitable for young players. Note, however, that this is the first game in the series to offer online play. Common Sense Media does not recommend online play for kids under age 12.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about etiquette in golf and golf games. Do you believe the courtesy and graciousness expected of people on real golf courses should apply to those playing golf video games? Do you congratulate others when they hit a good shot? Do you make a special effort not to distract others when it is their turn to play? Or do you think the reverse applies, that part of the fun of a golf video game is that it should be less serious than real golf? For those families trying the online portion of the game, what is the proper online behavior. What constitutes a breach of game etiquette? Under what circumstances should you report a fellow gamer?
