When the Aqua Teens reach the green they must defeat that hole's boss before they can putt. In the golf segment's racing levels, the trio race their golf cart through the course they just played, shooting Frat Aliens with a bazooka, collecting speed boosts, and passing check points toward the goal of completing three laps to move on to the next level.

was singled out for praise. Nick Suttner of '' 1Up.com'' gave the game a C stating: "For $30, there's plenty of ATHF goodness to satiate fans looking for more of a good thing (that makes the most of its M rating, no less), but if you have no interest in the show or haven't seen it, educate yourself before even considering ''Pro-Am''. It's not a good game, but it's still a fun way to expand the ATHF world.
