Toys and Games Reviews of Gator Golf
Customer Review: Has some value. But only average in this day & age.
Summary: 3 Stars
I'd have to give this Toy only about an average review because it's been around for a long time & hasn't been updated with any improvements even though there are two things that could vastly improve this Toy. A major flaw & aggrevating aspect of this toy is that the mouth has to be manually opened after the ball enters & closes the mouth. Even young energetic children get quickly tired of constantly manually reopening the mouth & it's a bit tricky at times getting the mouth to stay open. Another aggrevating aspect is that the ball does not always get returned after entering & closing the mouth. It's important to also know that this Toy does NOT use any Batteries which customers often don't realize. No Batteries is a benefit to saving Money but causes a lot of manual intervention with the Toy. The Toy has value as an introduction to Golf [Hand & eye coordination.] & young children enjoy hitting the ball around with the Little clubs which are safe & well made.
There is also a very misleading video that circulates [Not on Amazon.] that shows the Toy spinning around after the Ball is hit inside the Gator which is not the case & is false advertising. A couple of the other reviewers here are also extremely specific to the Toys functionality & benefits but ignor to mention any flaws which lead me to believe that these reviewers are unfairly biased & are not giving an accurate & honest review of this product.
This Toy has been around for years & years & has obvious value but it could be vastly improved on if only there was a battery operated mechanism to automatically open the mouth & flip the Ball back more often & more reliably. This would make the Toy much more fun & easier to use for both Children & Parents. Lights & sounds or music could also be incorporated into this toy very easily & would make the Toy more interesting to children. Obviously these improvements would increase the price of this toy but would attract more buyers because of the more modern & up-to-date electronic functionality.
