Play Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf Online

Back in '88, Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf was the gold standard for golf games—even the U.S. National Video Game Team called it the best around. And honestly? It still holds up. You've got two full 18-hole courses (one American, one Japanese), and the weirdly fun option to cram four players into two controllers—just don't blame me when the arguments start.

There's stroke play if you're serious, a Nassau mode for trash-talking with friends (complete with side bets), and a practice mode when you need to work on that one hole that always wrecks you. The swing mechanic's simple but sneaky—tap A three times for power, impact, and spin, but timing is everything. Mess up and you'll be hacking out of the deep rough or those nightmare bunkers.

Characters actually feel different too: Pretty Amy's laser-precise but weak, Big Jumbo crushes drives if you can handle his wild streak, and Miracle Chosuke has this absurd trick putt that saves your round when you least expect it. Super Mex's your safe middle ground when you just want to relax.

It's not fancy by today's standards, but there's something satisfying about nailing a backspin shot onto the green or finally beating your friend's Nassau bets. Just watch out for the water hazards—they're brutal.
