The problem with Story mode summed up in one picture.

I got really excited that it might be going somewhere mildly interesting/funny every once in a while, but it never really did. The practice challenges were (for mii, at least) either too easy or too difficult, and you can't even go back and play a standard 18-hole round on the courses you'd cleared (which is kind of a pain, given that Adventure Mode is the only way to level up your Mii).

I don't want to get too down on the game, I actually like a lot of the things that I've seen people complaining about (the new swing mechanic and XC golf come to mind), just not Adventure Mode. Which is extra disappointing for me, because I came to Super Rush from the Gameboy Mario Golf games by way of Golf Story, and was really hoping for a similarly robust single player story experience.
