| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA great sports movie and an inspirational family film about an American legend. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel GillespieFlawed as it may be, it respectfully honors a man who deserves to be honored. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThere's much to admire in this ambitious indie: top-notch production values, a gallery of evocative period detail (with location work on Scotland's famed St. Andrews' course) and solid performances from a cast . |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. Means[Caviezel's] aw-shucks demeanor... is at odds with the pedestal-building efforts of every other element of the movie |
| CinemaBlend.comMatt NorrisA man who shied away from the cameras would not want contrived events used to deify him. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperJim Caviezel has a new "passion", this time it is golf |

| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTells this story in a straightforward, calm way that works ideally as the chronicle of a man's life but perhaps less ideally as drama. |
