There are hundreds of golf video games on the market, possibly even thousands, but very few really make an impact.
Here are ten of the most enjoyable golf video games we’ve ever played.
10. Outlaw Golf
Developer: Simon & Schuster Interactive
Release Date 2002
Golf appeals to relaxed and stoic people; however, the Outlaw Golf Video game attempts to inject some excitement into the game by adding strange characters. This makes it more exciting.
9. Disney Golf
The developer: T&E Software
Release Date 2002
Golfing with Goofy, Minnie, Donald, and other iconic Disney characters is a trip that will last an entire lifetime. It can make you feel like you don’t care about losing.
8. Hot Shots Golf 3
Creator: Clap Hanz
Release Date 2002
Hot Shots has always been well-known for its quirky graphics. You can compete against hilarious and attractive characters. But, every player is unique enough that you can’t believe they’re actually individuals. The tracks are basically the same as in their predecessor. This one is designed to be a fun and enjoyable game and not to be a serious game.
7. Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf
Developer: SNK
Release Date 2005
This is the best game for beginners. The instruction is straightforward, and the game’s mechanics are easy, as are the controls easy to use.
6. Tee Off Tee
Developer Top Up
Release Date 1998
It’s not a game that has the same thrills and challenges that similar golf games do; however, the simple nature of this one also lets players simply enjoy the game. It’s easy and stable.
5. Tiger Woods ’99
The developer: EA Sports
Release Date 1998
It’s the first in the numerous Tiger Woods series to follow. It’s one of the very first PGA-certified golf games, which means that real pros are playing the game, like Tiger, Janzen, O’Meara, Faxon, Jacobsen, Stadler, Kite, and LoveIIl.
4. World Tour Golf
Development: Evan Robinson and Nicky Robinson
Release Date 1986
Two years were needed to develop to be a decent enough game to follow up on the initial Golf video game, which was released in 1984. Because the game was developed by two people behind the game, World Tour Golf managed to be more expansive in its scope than other games of the same time.
3. Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Software Developer Camelot Software Planning
Release Date 2003
It’s incredible how this model managed to be a step above the rest during the Tiger Woods era. The controls are easy to use, and the process is straightforward.
2. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11
Developer: Nintendo
Release Date: October 10, 2010.
There’s only one word to describe this authentic and accurate. The authenticity of the graphics will draw into the game, making you believe as if you are actually playing golf. This particular version has benefited from all the lessons that they’ve learned from previous Tiger Woods PGA Tour games.
1. Golf
Developer: Nintendo
Release Date 1984
Think of this as it’s the Pacman of Golf games. It was the first game and established the basis for the other golf games to be played in the future. If it wasn’t for it, the concept of creating a game that could be a boon to both non-golfers and golfers was beyond the realm of possibility.
