For anyone coming in cold, this can be a ponderous cinematic experience.

Golf may be the world's dullest spectator sport, not counting soccer: it takes a long time for not much to happen. By that standard, "Golf in the Kingdom" captures the game perfectly.

Rated: 1/5

A story comprised of pretentious meditative fragments.

Love golf and the book so much I bought this DVD. It is simply awful. It's too bad really. All of the components for a fantastic movie are here: a great cast, a beautiful setting, a good storyline, and a glorious sport. And it's all wasted.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Such a wonderful book but a great disappointment as a film. I wonder if this project was something Clint Eastwood had to give up to Frances Fischer when they parted ways! There was a time when Sean Connery was to be in it with Eastwood directing. I like David O'Hara a lot but it would have been really cool to see Mr Connery do it. It looks good visually; the sound mix is first rate; all the performances are pretty solid but somehow it doesn't seem to work. Pity. I really wanted it to.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
