Product ReviewsGolf (Nintendo, 1985)

Good Game!!

It felt very good and very nostalgic to play this game for the first time in several years!! I am guessing Golf on the Nintendo NES was used as one of the precursors to some of the other sports video games made by Nintendo, Sega, MicroSoft, etc..!! 👏👍Read full review...

Golf in its earlier forms was a little crude. You didn't get the feel for the environment of the courses. The clubs felt a little more preprogrammed for their effectiveness, so it became more of a game of strategy of club selection rather than including some skill with aim and swing. This golf game was a little bit better.

Watch Mario as he walks out on the course. You have your selection of clubs and you can aim, but the game does a great job at failing you if you don't aim properly at a hole and providing more depth to the greens. The wind plays a big factor too. Maybe a little more than it should, but it was good for Nintendo's first attempt.

Golf is where all golf games have really evolved from. It has given a basis that worked for other companies to improve off of. I have to give this game respect for that.Read full review...

Golf 1984

I love this game because I hate it lol. Unlike golf games of today which by comparison almost play themselves for you, this gives you no help. Like a masochist, I keep coming back almost daily in the hopes that I hole in one #14. Read full review...

Nostalgia

I love remembering playing this game with my grandfather as a boy, but as far as games go this one is good for remembering the good ol' times. The game play is decent enough, with only 18 holes to play. Control of the ball is quite good for you only having one button to press. Classic NES playing, definitely fun though.Read full review...

Nintendo Golf

At first the game is difficult, there are no distances to the flag. You have got to kind of guess on how far to hit the shots and which club to use. Putting is also difficult. However, the game moves by quickly, and once you have mastered the distances, the game is alot of fun!Read full review...
