As you tee off, you can run (i.e., “Rush”) down the course to your tee shot, basically incorporating an element of racing into the game of golf. A bright and vibrant world awaits alongside the fun gameplay mechanic. Walmart is currently offering $10 off Super Rush, which is pretty good considering the game just came out over the summer.
