What Gamespot Users have to say about Golf

    A challenging yet simple game to add to your collection.

    It doesn't get any simpler than this, folks. Golf for the NES cuts an already unexciting sport down to the marrow in the graphics and sound department. If you're looking for flashy sprites and an abundance of color, go... Read Full Review

    Best golf game for the NES named Golf.

    This game was more than likely the first golf sim for the NES, and also the first one that was ever produced. This game is a little difficulton the controlls, but luckily it will let you keep going until you get the bal... Read Full Review

    Better than you think . . .

    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 c... Read Full Review

    disappointing

    When I sit down and I put this game in I kinda see a disappointment with this one. I am sure there are others out there who totally disagree with me but I was ashamed to play this. The game wasn't even that fun of a ga... Read Full Review

    A hidden gem in the huge ocean of GB games.

    This game is great In every way, however, Golf is hardly everyone's cup of tea. I love golf games, but hate real golf. The game itself is something you won't get bored of quickly. There are two courses to play, which you... Read Full Review

    It's an OK game, but if you don't like, understand, or play the real sport, you probably won't like this one.

    Golf. Guess what you play in Golf! Golf! You know, the sport where you hit little white balls with clubs and try to get those balls into a hole. I sort of like golf; this is an OK game, but if you don't like, underst... Read Full Review

    Good Nes Sports game.

    Golf for the NES is a good sports game for it being on the NES. Golf games now are much better. Golf was good because two players can play. You only get to play on one course. The single player mode is not that good.... Read Full Review

    A decent golf game.

    In this game you play golf at one of two golf courses: USA or Japan. Each course has different holes. The hazards are good and there is a big selection of clubs. You can change your club at any time and should change it ... Read Full Review
