Play PGA Tour Golf Online

You time three button presses to shape each shot—easy to learn, tough to master—while dodging pixel-perfect hazards that’ll wreck your round if you get greedy. The SNES version somehow makes golf feel tense, like every putt actually matters.

Game Overview

PGA Tour Golf on SNES was one of those games that made golf actually fun—even if you didn’t care about the sport. The three-click swing mechanic feels simple at first (press once to start, again for power, and a final tap to shape your shot), but nailing the timing takes practice. Miss by a fraction, and you’ll watch your ball veer straight into a bunker or, worse, a pond.

The fantasy course is brutal in the best way—tight fairways, sneaky hazards, and greens that punish lazy approaches. I lost way too many balls there before figuring out you sometimes need to play it safe instead of going for glory. And having real PGA pros (well, their pixelated versions) as opponents gave tournaments this weirdly authentic vibe, even if their "tactical advice" was basically just "don’t mess up."

It’s not the prettiest golf game now, but the mechanics still hold up. Just don’t blame me when you rage-quit after slicing your third shot into the trees.
