Golf Games?

[Edmond Dantes]

So this is kind of a remake of a thread I made on HG101 but I wondered if I might get more/different answers here.

So I've been watching videos of Markiplier and Mangaminx and both have at some point played a game called Golf It which.... just watching it is more fun than a golf game has any right to be. Seriously look at the video and see for yourself.

Thing is... I really wanna play it now, but I'm sure Golf-It won't run on my crappy budget laptop.

So now I'm looking for something that's similar to it, but available for Gamecube, Playstation 2, PSP, or anything of that vintage or older.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

There is one Tiger Woods golf game on PS2 that is really good... they came out with a bunch of them but I think the one we had alot of fun with was tiger woods PGA Tour 2004.

I was quite surprised when Neo Turf Masters turned out to be one of my favorite games on SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1. I mean, its not a physics based thing like this one (instead relying on the ol' wait for the meter to move back and forth for swing power), but there is just something so fun and replayable about it.

Gamecube era golf or back, how about Ribbit King?

N64 Mario Golf is still maybe the best Golf game ever. The Neo Turf Masters recommendation is a solid one as well.

The Genesis also churned out some really good golf games. If I remember correct European Tour was the best one.

Not old, but I have to throw these in there. Golf Story on Switch. Also, for a realistic golf game, Golf Club 2 on PC/PS4 is probably the best one I have ever played.

Then there's https://www.wgt.com/ which is an in browser golf game, that is also super realistic. And super addicting. All the courses are created by shooting them with a helicopter and scanning them.

Another golf game that is very highly regarded by the PC community is the old Links 2001 for Win98. Many people claim this is still the best golf game of all time.

Really you need to decide if you want realistic golf, or a fantasy golf like mario golf. Both can be great depending on your mood at the time. I would avoid anything by EA post genesis era. That's when they started introducing "tiger control" where you could control the ball mid flight. Bunch of BS.

I used to love the older DOS (1992) Links 386 so much. I read that the Links LS (2000) is truly a high point but it seems it detests 64bit windows supposedly, but also randomly. I've been trying to dig up any good info that says it will work on a modern (win7+ 64bit) os with little solid luck.

I'd like to find a fantastic one for IOS on my phone though, problem is you have a required network download connection going (wgt) or it's buried in IAP hell.
