Play Bandai Golf - Challenge Pebble Beach Online

Bandai Golf on NES nails that classic golf feel—especially when you're playing Pebble Beach with a friend. You pick your handicap (I always go a little easy on myself), then it's straight into the 18-hole grind. Those bunkers look innocent until you're stuck in one, and the ocean? Yeah, it loves swallowing balls. Wind messes with your shots too, just like real life but without the sunburn.

What's cool is how they show the course—you get this overhead map, then a side view that actually helps you judge slopes. Club selection matters way more than I expected at first. Underpower that 9-iron and you're short; overcook it and hello sand trap. After each shot, the game tells you exactly how screwed you are with the lie and distance left. Pro tip: ignore the ocean's siren song on hole 7.
