IGN
A tremendously fun golf game, one that should appease either casual or hardcore golf fans.
 89
PSX Extreme
The online sessions can make for some great fun, and supporting offline four player support is also a great move. A round of applause for Clap Hanz.
88
GameZone
The game is simple to use and players of any age should be able to jump in and play. You can use the new swing meter or stick with the old-style method (meter).

It could have been the best game on the PS3, if only it was a bit more original and contributed more to the evolution of the franchise. [JPN Import; Issue#158, p.82]

PGNx Media
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds is one of the most fun games available for the PS3 and certainly a great new-generation start for the franchise

Cheat Code Central
This is not a replacement for your favorite golf simulator, but it is a very well made title that hits on almost every level.
83
GamingTrend
While there isn’t a great deal of courses to play, there is certainly a great golf game underneath the confection veneer overload laced onto every square inch of the game.
83
Gaming Age
With a good amount of single player content, really solid, tried-and-true gameplay, and an extremely playable online multiplayer mode, it'll be difficult to put the game down any time soon.

GameShark
Minor additions and amazingly details visuals keep the experience fresh enough to justify a new game, but they aren't great enough to provide an evolutionary leap forward.

PSM3 Magazine UK
The Japanese is a hindrance, but EG5 is a really beautiful game. A great alternative to "Tiger." [JPN Import; Oct 2007, p.80]

NTSC-uk
Despite the lack of challenge provided for half of the single player game, Minna No Golf 5 excels in every other area, offering a realistic golf simulation wrapped inside a package so cute that it is impossible to resist. [JPN Import]

Playstation Official Magazine UK
Games don't get much more friendly than this. [JPN Import; Nov 2007, p.100]

Gamestyle
This is simply one of the most entertainingly laid-back titles of the year.

G4 TV
The game is solid, if a bit short on content, but it’s more fun than it’s ever been.

GameSpy
For those of us who enjoy a little less seriousness in our golf game's appearance, but don't want some dumbed-down baby's toy, Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds is a uniquely accomplished solution.
80
Gamervision
Believe me, no one is more shocked than I am about how much I love playing this game. At $60, it is right up there with other high-end PS3 titles, but is one of the best exclusives the system has to offer.

GamerNode
I had hopes that Out of Bounds would be a hole-in-one, and what we got is a birdie. It's good, but you can easily look back and see where it could have done better.

GameDaily
The addition of online play is also splendid, as you can go up against others in tournaments.

GameTap
The game may shank some of the superficial niceties, but when it comes to the fundamentals, Hot Shots is still sinking aces, every time.

EuroGamer
In spite of the fact that all you're doing is pressing a button three times, over and over again, it never gets boring. It would probably be too controversial to call it the best golf game, or the best PS3 game. But on both counts it's a remarkably close call. [JPN Import]
80
Game Informer
While this newest version of Hot Shots ushers in a welcome new swing mechanic, it’s unfortunate that other areas have been neglected. Out of Bounds is worth getting, but what it gains in its drive distances it loses in its short game.
75
Game Revolution
Few titles succeed without having your brain go into overdrive or your character constantly be on the verge of death, and this is gladly one of them.

1UP
If Sony's smart they'll approach this as a moving target that's ripe for expansion -- the addition of a course editor or (dare we dream?) the return of minigolf could easily bump this up a full letter grade.
