* PowerfulButInaccurate: Generally, the further a character can hit the ball, the more difficult it is to hit the 'impact' zone and prevent hooking or slicing a shot. Many characters that can drive the ball nearly 300 yards ''necessitate perfect impact'' to prevent this, as they don't have 'pink impact zones'[[note]]The 'grace' range that mostly maintains your shot's accuracy (by how much is dependent on your character's 'Control' stat) even if you don't hit perfect impact, usually appearing on the right side of the shot bar as a pink line[[/note]] and they generally have terrible control.

* CrutchCharacter: Or Crutch Clubs, rather - most of the games have a pink 'Beginner' club set that requires two button presses instead of three, removing the 'perfect impact zone' and allowing you to focus solely on setting the power of your shots. The tradeoff, however, is that these clubs don't hit very far ''at all'' - for most cases, you'd be lucky if the character you're using breaks a 200-yard drive, which even the easier characters using normal clubs can achieve with ease, and you also lose access to Super Spin shots. For some of the later courses, this distance penalty makes it ''very'' difficult to reach the green in regulation and achieve lower scores, eventually necessitating the player to practice and get better at the 3-button swing.

Not much was changed about the core game mechanics, a majority of the third game's roster returned (one character's animations, Jonnie's, were carried over almost one-to-one and given to a new character with similar proportions named Alan) as well as several caddies (two of whom, Mel and Hubert, were PromotedToPlayable) and almost every full course, on top of ballooning the roster to twenty four characters, reintroducing [[GuestFighter guest characters]] in the form of Ratchet and Jak, with Clank and Daxter appearing as selectable caddies, and upping the course count to a whopping ''fifteen'' to the third game's six. While it's still remembered fondly, the jump in quality from the third game was much less immense than going from ''2'' to ''3'', which received rave reviews for its innovations to the series.

''World Invitational'', however, goes UpToEleven with this, and many have criticized the game for its FakeLongevity as a result. To wit:
** ''Every single item in the game'' has to be purchased from the shop after it's unlocked, including courses, player characters, alternate colors, bonus costumes, extra outfit slots, club sets and golf balls. In previous games, the store generally only held extra items such as alternate costumes and extra caddies, courses were unlocked simply by winning tournaments on them in single-player, and characters and extra outfits were automatically unlocked by beating them in VS mode. Club sets and golf balls can also be upgraded three times, with [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts the cost going up dramatically with each purchase.]]
** On the subject of caddies, they cannot be bought directly from the store or unlocked in regular play - they're locked behind purchasing courses in the store. While caddies don't actually appear on the course in this game, this is still an unnecessarily-convoluted and ill-explained step.
** After finishing the 'Gold' rank tournaments and defeating Pandora in the single-player Challenge mode, not only are the [[UnlockableDifficultyLevels 'Platinum' tournaments]] unlocked, hiding yet another character to be unlocked[[note]]Izzak[[/note]], but all of the previously-hidden 'Crown' challenges are now visible as are the VS character rematches for their alternate outfits, which not only ''require'' these crowns to unlock, but ''also'' have to be purchased in the store after beating them. This all wouldn't be so big an issue, but even after completing enough rounds to unlock almost everything, you're still plenty of points shy of being able to purchase everything in the shop, making [[ForcedLevelGrinding replaying the same tournaments over and over again]] mandatory for OneHundredPercentCompletion.
