Play PGA Tour Golf (USA, Europe) (v1.1) Online

PGA Tour Golf on the Genesis was my first real golf game—no gimmicks, just straight-up fairways and greens. You pick your course (I always went for the U.S. ones first—felt familiar), line up your shot while the wind gauge wobbles, and pray you didn’t overswing. The controls are simple—hold the button for power, release for accuracy—but the challenge comes from reading slopes and breezes. Mess up, and you’re in the rough staring at a brutal recovery shot.

What I love is how it forces you to think like an actual golfer. No power-ups, no shortcuts—just you, the clubs, and that tiny pixelated ball. The European courses are brutal with their narrow fairways, by the way. It’s dated now, obviously, but there’s something satisfying about the no-nonsense approach. Still holds up if you’re into methodical sports games.
