In this case, it's becaues there's some actual consideration put into the art, partcularly the golfer, so it kinda look a bit like playing a simple cartoon version of golf rather than a really low-end graphics version of golf.
I was born in 93 and didn’t get an NES until 98. It belonged with my uncle before me and all i had was Super Marie Bros., Galaga, and this game. My dad and I would sit on the floor together and play this game for hours. He was better at it than me of course but i managed to do something that he never did. A hole in one. I never managed it again but us playing together and celebrating together is still one of my favorite childhood memories.
I've shot 49 on this game a couple times i believe. It takes perfect wind conditions on the par 5 holes so that you can get eagles instead of birdies on them. You have to get 4 eagles on the par 5s, 1 hole in one and birdies on everything else. Tough to do but not impossible. I recently started playing again on the SNES classic, and just shot a 56 last night, with a bogey.
I would've never realized some of these courses being added in Wii Sports and then returning in Nintendo Switch Sports, justs shows how loyal Nitendo is when returning a classic.
I know that this was due to the technical limitations of the NES, but the way that the graphics were done for this game looks like golf being played in space. Those of us who remember watching The Jetsons would understand. Still this game did have a charm to it.
I spent many, many hours with this game in my youth. All you need is the 1W and a keen hand with the putter and you can finish WAY under par. Never even pull another club out.
You know, this game needed two things to make it more like actual golf, and they were little 8-bit cans of beer to get blitzed on, and the ability to use random punctuation marks whenever you got a bad game of golf.
This was the first game I bought on the nes but is it just me or are a lot of thse holes very similar to wii golf? I have both games but never noticed until now The more I watch I can definitely see the same holes. That's cool they reused them and I never noticed all the years
I used to always go for the highest scores I could get, mostly because I loved the sound effects of the ball either going out of bounds ("OB") or in the water ("WATER HAZARD"). I think my record high score for all 18 holes was 1,782 points (displayed as *H82* in this game) if I remember correctly. The only downside is that each hole had a limited max score (99 points). If it wasn't for that, I probably would have scored much higher than 1,782 points.
When i was like 3 4yo and my brother played this i was traumatized how those maps were designed they looked like monsters lmao they gave nightmares for years literally 😭😂
when i am playing this on switch i’m having a very hard time figuring out how to get the ball to go longer distances like in this recording. many of the clubs seem to go the same very short distance when you hit in the white bars so i don’t get what i’m doing wrong
I'm surprised that this is the only NES sports game that never came out on Nintendo Switch Online. All we get is NES Open Tournament Golf, starring Mario and Luigi.
Golf did kind of come out on Switch. This is the first game Satoru Iwata ever built while being in Nintendo. He was a really beloved man, partner, co-worker and, years later, CEO of Nintendo. He was the mind behind the Switch but he sadly passed away in 2015 so he could not see the outstanding success of his creation. But, as a token of gratitude, this game remains (or at least for a while, don't know if it is active anymore) as an EE on the Switch main menu. Every 07/11 (the day he passed away) if you do his signature Nintendo Direct hand gesture with the joycons the Switch will black out and load Golf and, then you can play it
I guess I'm the *only person* that *didn't understand that power gauge* bar and just *pressed once* when the cursor pass in front of the white area...and I'm "almost" generation X (born in 1981 but feel connected to Gen X stuff like having watched programs on VHS, watched 70's and 80's animes, Hanna Barbera 60's cartoons, used 3 1/2 floppies, and so on). Silly me...
Actually the playable character isn't mario, it's something like "Hassan" or whatever He's in The Japanese exclusive game, "Captain Rainbow" For the Wii
Sometimes you just want to play a damn game without having to worry about a million things. Seriously, games these days are like doing chores! Give me something simple lol.

Even with its plain graphics and lack of music, there's a special charm the very early NES games have.

Most definitely
Completely agree.
They remind a bit of the games that I played on my Nokia phone circa 2006.

Man me and my dad played the hell out of this game back in the day..Great memories!
Same here
We used to laugh at the sounds
What more could you want from a golf game?LOVED this one as a kid
*crack*wooooooooo-ooooh~
*crack*woooOOOOOoooo-oooh~
Gotta love those sound effects.
A decade later and it's still great.
I just noticed something, some of the courses in this game are reused in the golf game of "Wii Sports"! :O
Love Golf for the NES. One of my top "black label" games for the system!
honestly i love this game so much
This and Baseball. Simple titles, not trying to be more than it needs to be. As a kid, the simpler sports games had a nice charm to them.
Had baseball on the same cartridge with this and other 4 games
Absolutley

wow mario was a busy guy, refed boxing (punch out) saved the princess many times, refed tennis, played golf.good lordy
He was a doctor too...😳
Zome68 yes he was :)
+MultiKane666 AND remember, he played the villan in Super Mario 3 as 'WARIO', THE M WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN TO W. :^P
MultiKane666 hwy im not the only one who noticed
@@XxDemB0nesxX i can't find Wario in super mario 3.
Mario playing golf. Gotta love it
No！He is not mario！If you don't believe, you can search a game named Captain Rainbow！
There is a character and his name is Osaan...........
@@張某-x7p Captain Rainbow came decades later, that's what you call a retcon (something new trying to change or redefine something old)
@@videostash413
Because he join Captain Rainbow's status is " the main character from NES Golf"
Can't wait to play this game on the Nintendo switch
-isnt on the switch after 4 years-

Ball is in parking lot, would you like to play again?
You have selected no
Welcome to Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge. I am Carvallo,. Now, choose a club.
You have selected a 3 Wood, may I suggest a putter?
Now enter the force of your swing. I suggest "feather touch".
You entered "POWER DRIVE"
I also came here from Simpsons

Had to buy this shit just for the funky sound effects 😂
Nice chip for the birdie at 2:19
Scorch0 Cinderella story... about to become the champion.... IT'S IN THE HOLE
"One player stroke play" I chuckled :)
Lol
Did this game used to scare anyone else as a kid? The weird sound effects, the lack of music, the black empty void around the golf course
You know, this game needed two things to make it more like actual golf, and they were little 8-bit cans of beer to get blitzed on, and the ability to use random punctuation marks whenever you got a bad game of golf.
Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf was pretty much this same game with different golfers. Even the sound effects were very similar. Great memories.
the sound effect are so funny. Like a music to my ears
hurry up dante :D
Legends would recognize these courses....
This was one of my favourite games!
This gameplay of The Last of Us Part II looks amazing!
Just realized all these are Wii sports courses as well
Please Understand.
Aren’t these the courses from Wii Sports?
Brilliant playing, JagOfTroy. Brilliant playing.
It doesn't seem like it's possible to get a hole-in-one, or even an Eagle, in any of the 18 holes.
When Mario became a millionaire, he owned a Gold Club.
That’s Mario playing golf? I always thought it was.
Yup
Ball is in parking lot, would you like to play again?
You selected “No.”
Best golf video game ever.
Like Golf for the NES. It's one of my top "black box label" games for the system!
I used to think that the sound effect of the ball flying was funny af
vahan: the hole in one is a no brainer on hole 14. Shoot north with maxed out slice.
RIP to my Uncle Frankie. We used to watch him play. So boring lol
*Mario playing golf on a weekend.*
I had that along with smb, smb3, zelda, metroid, contra, mega man, etc.
This was the first game I bought on the nes but is it just me or are a lot of thse holes very similar to wii golf? I have both games but never noticed until now
The more I watch I can definitely see the same holes. That's cool they reused them and I never noticed all the years
Hmm... I think i've seen some of these holes before...
Ah, yes. It's Wii Sports!
I don't believe, this game is very short. I remember it that a long game.
I just got a cartridge of that game at Saturdays Market along with The Legend of Zelda and Gotcha.
so many memories....

this game is where I first came to know of the game Golf
I learnt the basics of baseball, golf from these NES games..

It would be a very long time before I get to those.

Imagine seeing a pro hit a driver on a 215 yard par 3 these days lol... Excluding Bubba doing trick shots at the 16th at the Phoenix Open.
The golfer looks like super Mario xD
JadFox696 it is Mario.
JaddikOcypek696 Mario has a ton of occupations
Plumbers play golf sometimes too.
Many characters were inspired by mario

I could never get the hang of this game. Shame really cause I enjoy it.
You know what? This just isn’t right.
But this is! Fore!
(Long Shot Sound Effect)
Before this game is on Wii sports.....
Love such a simple game. I might have gotten -10 once, -9 yes.
Can you please make Violent Vengeance: The Universe Hero, Super Fighter, Tough Guy, Invincible, and Great Fighter for PC/MS-DOS?
Actually the playable character isn't mario, it's something like "Hassan" or whatever
He's in The Japanese exclusive game, "Captain Rainbow" For the Wii
World putting/chipping champ here
I Thank You for showing how this is done....just bought the NES 001....it is a different difficulty...no yardage update with the next shot...
a simple but great game
Anyone else notice the sprite is mario? Not only Nintendo's first golfing game but also the first mario golf game
Jamie Lishbrook Mario cameos in lots of the action and sports series black carts
That's not Mario, it's Ossan.
This is 7.99 on Switch thinking about getting it
Hot Shots golf... the early years
Love Hot Shots Golf.
I remember this game at the arcade!
Anyone notice how some of the courses came back to Wii sports?
I thought they where unused.
Yes! They are all remakes from this game!!
Cubex55 you are a super pro player, i never could get the hang of it.
Chris Griffin would possibly believe this game sucked
My best score? 19 under par. Luck of the draw with regard to the wind, and you’ve got to play bold.
19 under is good. I’ve had about five -21, two -22 and one -24
lol you're right, sorry and thanks for correcting me.
Love how it doesn’t tell you the distance to the hole lol
Once you’ve played it enough that’s irrelevant
I had this game for my msx computer looks 100% the same
0:22 MARIO appears
The sound 😂😂😂😂
Amazing playing - i am impressive, incredible.........
Mario retired little does he know a new villan(bowser) will steal peach
Sometimes you just want to play a damn game without having to worry about a million things. Seriously, games these days are like doing chores! Give me something simple lol.
Golf nes is a good game
I was hoping to see an Eagle but alright
I played the hell out of this and Blades Of steel
Only golf video game I got a 🕳️ in 1
That birdie on 16
Nice shots
Arta nostalgia!
Very close to eagle on 18th hole. Good player!
you can play the same but better graphics if your playing wii sports or wii sports resort or wii club idk
Not one hole below par. Good job
Jim J
You mean “above par.”
Ah, yes.
The last of us 2 for NES
Stop it 😭
I never understood the controls of this game, couldn’t hit a single shot
Is it super Mario who plays? 😂😂😂
Yeah!
Anyone realise how some of the holes resemble Wii sports holes?
i shot -22 on this once.
Fantastic score. I’ve had three -21, -22 once and-24 once
أنا حبيت هاذي اللعبة لما كنت صغير
I am also currently playing Tiger Woods '13 on Xbox if you or anyone else is interested in some head-to-head action.
