The greatest golf games?

[charlaph]

Everybodys Golf and Mario Golf are fresh in my memory, but I lost many many weeks to Links on the PC, both playing and building courses - it was such a good building tool that if you put the time into it you could make just about anything.

Waialae on N64 was terrible but brilliant at the same time, unbelievably punishing if you went in the rough, so good for when you had mates over drinking.

However for me nothing will beat Golf Shiyouyo on Dreamcast. I liked it so much I bought the data pack, the sequel and Kouryaku Pak. Okay so it's pretty standard cartoony fare, but really well done. Like Mario it's easy to get low scores, but just tough enough to be enjoyable when you want to try beating those scores or hitting them consistently. I don't know if it was ever localised but it's cheap on ebay nowadays. Well worth a try.

I spent many hours playing PGA on the Mega Drive but alas that was all I have ever played on the golfing genre. I really should try something current gen.

This thread has made me realise that, depsite having little to no interest in watching or playing golf, over the years I have played and enjoyed a load of golf games! Recent favourites are the Everybody's Golf and Pangya series, but I remember loving the PGA games on the Mega Drive and a couple on PS1 - remember Actua Golf?

Another shout for Neo Turf Masters!


Also have the Neo-Geo Pocket version too

(Super old and therefore poor quality pics, sorry!)

- remember Actua Golf?

The commentary was amazing. "Herrrrman Hasss has sunk the ball. Herrrrman Hasss is two under par."

I've only gone and ordered Tiger Woods 13 (PS3). Should arrive tomorrow.

Anyone else getting it?

No love for Namcot Open on the SFC?

Better than Turf Masters and only beaten by Minna 5.

I have just started playing 07 and think it's a great game. Granted it only cost me 48p, but it does the job.

Not getting Tiger Woods, however in relation to the original post:

C64 - Leaderboard

Megadrive - PGA Tour

Playstation - Everybody's Golf

Xbox - Links

In particular, I had some great fun on Links, got involved in some leagues and had a right good laugh with the online play - When I think about it, i've thrown a fair few hours at golf games over the years.

Can't stand the tiger games. I miss links. It's not right that there's only one game out there. What happened to john daly's prostroke golf?

I hope that one game you refer to is Everybody's Golf.

[ozzzy189]

Everybody's golf is classic, but I'm a 360 owner and totally fed up with the lack of choice.

[hudson]

Been playing Tiger Woods 13 and really enjoying it.

Last time I played one was 2003 on GameCube.

I can't stand ea or tiger Woods, but if it were a proper golf game i'd look at buying it, but nothing has altered enough over the last five years plus for me to change my mind. We need an alternative. Even a less serious title but with a decent game behind it would get me vote.

I've heard great things about Tiger Woods on the Wii with Motion Plus.
