Missed the Links franchise for PC from 1990-2003. Best golf games by far of the 90s.

Imo Tiger Woods PGA tour 2005 for PS2 was the best golf game ever

I think tiger woods pga 07 and 12 were the best but 05 was good too

Thanks for the video but you forgot some BIG golf games whose omissions really hurt your video. - Jack Nicklaus Signature Edition (1992) was the best golf game for its time and had a tremendous course editor. - Front Page Sports Golf (1997) was the first game to have a mouse-swing. - The PGA games of the late 90s were true competitors to Links. - GolfTopia (2020) is the highest-rated golf game on Steam and a rebirth of Sid Meier's Golf.

So many great games thank you once again for all the generations of sports games keep the greatness growing

My favorite golf games were, Outlaw Golf 2, and Links 2004. I currently have The Golf Club, Everybody's Golf, and PGA 2K23 on PS4 and Walkabout Mini Golf on PS5. Also, Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario Golf Super Rush on Switch.

Zany golf on the apple computer was amazing!

Happy National Mini Golf Day ⛳🏌️‍♂️🏴‍☠️🏛️🗼🗽 from VGE 🎮 🕹️

WGT golf on the iPad is still the only golf game worth playing.

I used to play wicked 18 on my SNES so much when I was a kid.

My favourite: PGA Tour Golf II for the Mac.

Played quite a bit from the 'big two' for console golf series, Mario Golf (for Nintendo) and Everybody's/Hotshots Golf (for Playstation, until the latest installment, "Easy Come, Easy Golf", which came on Switch). Also did some PangYa, a few of the NES and PC ones, and also Golf With Your Friends.

Golf games (outside of the Atari 2600 version) have always looked heads and tails better than any other game going back to the NES. I remember being a small child and playing "NICK FALDO'S OPEN" on the C64 and being fascinated by the whole caddy club exchange on the bottom of the screen. The PS1 games were already starting to look, sound and play almost identical to what we have today. Really shows the creativity the early designers had and how to squeeze the most out of a few MBs of code Another great vid. I love what you do

Apart from 'linguistics,' which I took an interest in for the first time ever in 1990, in the 11th grade of high school -- the only other 'hobby' that I've had is video gaming -- which hobby I've had from the early 80s to the present date. I like a 'quasi-wide' variety of genre of PC games -- though the genres of PC games that I have spent the most time on, BY FAR, are golfing simulators, commercial and fighter aircraft simulators, vehicular racing simulators (esp. cars such as Formula 1, Rally Racing, and many others), and first person shooters -- to only a small extent RTS (real time strategy), and role-playing. My favorite first person shooters of all time are Doom, Heretic, and Halflife 1 and 2. I have played golfing simulators since the mid 80s ("Mean 18") to the present. I have always innately been very good and these games -far better than most others, I'm sure, who have also played them. Ironically, if not MORONICALLY, apart from 'mini golf,' which I played twice in my life only and was very good at -- I have never even picked up or used a golf club in my life; I hence have no actual real life golfing experience. If the 'swing mechanics' of a golf swing didn't seem so 'unnatural' and complex to me -- I'm sure that my innate understanding of golf and my uber "Bruce Lee-esque" scientific mind of about all things I take an interest in -- would allow me to be an awesome golfer in real life. But I'm almost certain -without ever having picked up a golf club other than the putter- that I could never master a golf swing and make good contact with the ball -either drive, approach shot, etc.... Nor have I ever had any money in my life -- hence any money to buy a set of clubs and attempt to take up the game of golf...

Me and my brother and sister played outlaw golf 2 all the time I was soooo looking 4 that game thanks.

Been a h7ge "HOT shots " fan since the very first on PS. And the Tiger Woods golf series was great too

Forgot all about Lee Trevino Fighting Golf. A lot of memories with my brother. Very entertaining game!

I remember Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf on the NES!

Golf is originated from a game played on the eastern coast of Scotland, in an area close to the royal capital of Edinburgh in the 15th century!

Lori (The Loud House) is possibly a golf player. Lori: "OMG, I hate running. This is why I golf."

Who would've thought that Mecarobot Golf from 1993 was the first to really introduce the following-the-ball camera that is basically standard now.

16:12 wtf?? 😂😂😂

Ryu Ga Gotoku games had nice Golf minigames as well !

The only thing you might be missing is "Microsoft Golf"

Lots of games I never heard of but I have/had some that were not shown. Front Page Sports Golf, PGA Championship Golf 1999, PGA 2000, Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear Challenge and Custom Golf come to mind. In my opinion the most realistic golf game I have played is Perfect Golf. Unfortunately it was bought by Trackman and the two principals now create the courses for the TM simulator. I rank TW08 as the best of the TW series and the last one on PC. I understand that the upcoming EA PGA Tour Golf game scheduled to be released in the spring of 2023 will have a PC version. I also noticed that the hoary old 3 click, 2 click whether it was a half circle or bar goes way back to 1994.

I'm a life-long connoisseur of PC golfing. I like your list; it's as if the people who make these videos aren't very knowledgable or don't do much research. Front Page Sports Golf (developed by Sierra Sports in 1997?) was revolutionary because if I recall it was the first ever golf game to utilize a real-time swing. I played a demo only of this game; never owned the full version. I owned Jack Bear: Golden Bear Challenge. For me, the most revolutionary golf franchise ever (most realistic, best physics and graphics, TONS of options) was the Links Series which was developed by Salt Lake City based Access Software -- which was later sold to Microsoft in the early 2000s. The first game came out in '97? It was totally heads above all other golf games. Since Links has been obsolete, the only good PC golf franchise that I have found so far is the Tiger Woods series.

@@yaantsudnbesdai972 Yes, you correct, Front Page Sports Golf was the first PC golf game with a mouse swing. Their later releases with True Swing were PGA Tour 1999 and PGA Tour 2000. I have been using a mouse swing since then. The absolute best mouse swing I have used for any game is RTSM or real time swing mouse in Perfect Golf. As a golfer I appreciate how it incorporates two fundamentals of a real golf swing, tempo and swing path. If you move your mouse on an inside out path it promotes a draw, too much and it becomes a hook. An outside in path and you promote a fade, too much and it is a slice. At the same time the speed of your backswing compared to your downswing also impacts ball flight. The ideal ratio is .25 where your downswing is 4 times faster than your backswing so for example, if you get a ratio of .18 it will promote a hook. These readings are displayed only when you are on the range or in practice mode on a course which is equivalent to using a Trackman. All other play modes do not display any of these so like real golf you think you know why you hooked or sliced and try to compensate in your next swing. It is a shame that the development of Perfect Golf stopped after they were bought by Trackman. I consider swing methods like 3C and 2C as strictly arcade with no relationship whatsoever to a real golf swing.

​@@McHugh1949 You seem to also appreciate utmost 'realism' in golf games. I do too, as I do all PC games I play: The more realistic, the more difficult, the more challenging -but the more rewarding...and the 'funner' that game is... When I play or purchase PC "sims," that's what I hope to get; a true 'simulation' as opposed to an arcade -whether it be a combat jet flight simulator, a Formula 1 racing games, etc. If I were to create a PC golf game, I would think of EVERYTHING; perhaps someone like you would as well: Try and make the game so that every type of swing takes into account skill and precision or a lack of such. How do I make bunker shots realistic so that it's simply not a simple back swing and a down swing but somehow takes into account the lie, the texture of the sand, whether or not the ball is plugged, etc. etc. Even before I read your golf, I added only one golf game to my Steam "Wish List": Perfect Golf. I currently don't have the specs to be able to run this game but when I can afford to upgrade my PC, I hope to give this game a shot in the future...

i came to say this exact thing. Golden Bear Challenge's gameplay and relative realism were the standard bearers for ages. I was disappointed that this didn't have that game in the list.

Tiger Woods 14 is my personal favourite. It has all four majors, an amazing legend roster and lots of options to customise the difficulty so you can make the game as arcadey or realistic as you like.

You hold golf club with 2 hands. 0:55 *1984* (4 decades ago). I got golfing ad watching this. Don't hit too hard when you are close. 5:54 *1992* (3 decades ago). You need to make the ball fly up and also aim and calculate the speed. 14:15 *2002* (2 decades ago). Seems like the wind or something makes the ball go left. 23:14 *2012* (1 decade ago).

11:45 MS Links. Oh my! Thousands of hours probably. Looked ‘like photos’ at the time, then you look at PGA2k23 and we’ve not even seen EA Sports 2023 golf game yet, other than a trailer which showed it had Augusta and St Andrews, so I’m hoping that’s gonna a good career mode, but it’s EA, they’ll focus on which mode earns them the most micro-transactions. I guess at least it’s good to have a choice between 2k and EA, not many other sports licences are shared. Also they’ll drip-feed course packs as paid DLC, when they could’ve just as easily add everything all at once in the base game. EA seem like they poison everyone they touch. They’ve kindly taken Project Cars 2 off me recently as well, digitally, after buying Codemasters. And I know it’ll be in the T&Cs, we all scroll past em, next next next. Robdogs, all of them: Gambling For Kids/Teenagers. Anyone who made it to here, thanks for reading. TL;DR EA are evil and so are 2K. Everyone knows this but that’s apparently fine 🤬
