Play Konami Golf (Europe) Online

Konami Golf came out for the Game Boy in 1990, a time when handheld games were simple and often focused on a single, clear idea. Konami, better known for action and arcade hits, took a quiet swing at the sports genre with this one. It wasn't trying to be a flashy showpiece; it was just a solid, portable round of golf you could play anywhere.

You control a golfer from an overhead view, moving screen by screen across each hole. The main goal is straightforward: get the ball in the cup in as few strokes as possible. You hold a button to power up your swing, then watch your pixel ball either soar or embarrassingly plop into a sand trap; those tiny greens are sneakier than they look. Wind direction and strength add a constant layer of strategy, forcing you to adjust your aim carefully. The game moves at a deliberate pace, and the challenge feels fair, if a bit punishing on misjudged shots. It feels like a thoughtful, compact puzzle dressed as a sports game.
