Play Golf Online
Golf is a classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) sports video game released in 1984.
Developed and published by Nintendo, it was the first NES game to feature a golf-based theme.
It was followed by a sequel, Golf: Japan Course, which was released in 1985.
The game was designed to provide an accurate simulation of golf play, and featured several options that could be adjusted for different levels of difficulty.
Players can choose from one of four characters—a male or female golfer, and two caddies—and select from three different courses: a 9-hole course in the United States, an 18-hole course in Japan, or a random course generated by the computer.
The courses are each divided into nine holes; each hole is represented by an overhead view of the green with obstacles such as sand traps or water hazards displayed onscreen.
Players can adjust their shot power and direction before hitting the ball; they must also take wind speed into account when aiming their shots.
Golf uses a point system to keep track of scores; players earn points for each shot taken and lose points if they land in a hazard or miss the green entirely.
After all nine holes have been completed, players receive bonus points based on their total score.
Players can also compete against computer opponents in either stroke play or match play mode; these opponents range from easy to hard difficulty levels depending on how well the player has performed thus far.
Golf offers several other features that make it stand out from other NES sports games at the time.
The game supports two-player simultaneous play using two controllers (though only one player can control both characters at once); it also supports save states so players can resume their progress at any time without having to start over from scratch.
Additionally, Golf includes several minigames such as “Closest to the Pin” and “Longest Drive” that can be played alone or with friends for added replay value.
Golf remains one of Nintendo's most beloved sports titles despite its age; it has been rereleased numerous times since its original release on various platforms including Game Boy Color and Virtual Console services for Wii U and 3DS systems.
Its simple yet addictive gameplay makes it an ideal choice for casual gamers looking for an easy but enjoyable way to spend some free time; even hardcore fans will find something enjoyable about this classic NES title after all these years
