The Enshrined
Alright, we're gonna do this nice and spreadsheet-like. Here's the contents of Golfshrine as presently stands. Thanks to SamTheOctopus on the Netizen Club discord for helping to sort these alphabetically for me, since FrontPage 98 somehow lacks such a basic feature.

What's so interesting? |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-American Sports Series: Golf | Sierra | Windows 9x | Budget re-release of Sierra Front Page Sports: Golf. First golf game I ever played to include "True Swing that determines swing power and spin by mouse movements (and you can make your golfer fall on his ass π₯ by overswinging). I own two copies of this now. |
| Amateur League Golf | Simon & Schuster Interactive | Windows | Spiritual precursor to Outlaw Golf, featuring the Composure system and a cast of wacky characters. |
| Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf | Sega | Sega Genesis | Clamshelled. |
| Awesome Golf | Hand-Made Software | Atari Lynx | Golfshrine's first Atari Lynx game, and one of only two golf games available for Lynx. Uses the Lynx's hardware scaling features to zoom the overhead course map in and out for dramatic effect. |
| Bandai Golf: Challenge Pebble Beach | Bandai | NES | [/shrug] |
| British Open Championship Golf (Special Edition) | Looking Glass Studios, SoftKey | Windows | Cut-down budget re-release of Looking Glass's golf simulator, notably missing one of the game's two courses. Not a very Special special edition, is it, SoftKey? |
| Buick Dimensions 1991 | The InMar Group | Macintosh | Primarily a computerized car catalog, mailed to Buick customers on a floppy disk, this one also contains the 1991 Buick Classic, a simplified golf game containing the front 9 holes at Westchester. |
| Computer Golf! | Magnavox | Odyssey2 | Golfshrine's first Odyssey game! I used to have one of those, but the keyboard didn't work and I traded it in like a dumbass. |
| CyberTiger | Electronic Arts | PlayStation | One of EA's attempts to make golf more palatable to casual players, this one features Tiger Woods at various ages, chibi-like character graphics (and a button to inflate your own head π₯), power-ups and just general weirdness. |
| David Leadbetter's Greens: The Instructional 3-D Golf Simulation | MicroProse | DOS | Part of a CD-ROM compilation that also includes Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon and B-17 Flying Fortress. I'm missing the manual so Greens is not playable in this form. |
| David Leadbetter's Greens - Competitive Upgrade Version | MicroProse | DOS | Boxed floppy-disk version of Greens. Includes a special offer: mail in your warranty card, along with the torn-off cover of a manual from any other golf game, and get $10 back (or 2 more courses). Hell of a rebate offer, MicroProse! |
| Disney Golf | Electronic Arts, T&E Soft | PlayStation 2 | Stars the mainline Disney cast as playable golfers, except for Mickey who is everybody's caddy. |
| ESPN Final Round Golf 2002 | Konami | Game Boy Advance | Cartridge only. US localization of JGTO Kounin Golf Master: Japan Golf Tour Game. |
| ESPN Golf Presents: Lower Your Score with Tom Kite | The 3DO Company, Intelliplay Sports | 3DO (JP) | Japanese release of this...collection of instructional videos. This isn't actually a game, and Tom Kite is dubbed over in Japanese π₯, which makes it doubly useless to me (and twice as hilarious to own). |
| ESPN Golf Presents: Lower Your Score with Tom Kite | Intelliplay Sports | Windows | PC version of the collection of instructional videos; all the video has been compressed into Apple QuickTime format for 256-color displays, so it looks much worse and takes up fewer CDs than the 3DO version. |
| Everybody's Golf | Sony, Clap Hanz | PlayStation 4 | Allows creation of new golfers from scratch instead of having a defined roster. |
| Fighting Golf | SNK | Famicom (JP) | Japanese version of Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf. |
| Fox Sports Golf '99 | Gremlin, Fox Interactive | Windows | US release of Gremlin's Actua Golf 2. Supports 3D acceleration! |
| GameTrak - Real World Golf | Aqua Pacific, In2Games | PlayStation 2 | Motion-control peripheral and specially designed golf game that works by way of a pair of spring-loaded wires. One of only three games released for the GameTrak device. |
| Ganbare! Golf Boys | NCS, Masaya | PC Engine | Golfshrine's first HuCARD game! Released only in Japan and still in its CD-like jewelcase. |
| Greg Norman Ultimate Challenge Golf | Grolier Interactive, Friendly Software | Windows | Multimedia golf game featuring Greg Norman, from the devs who would eventually make Microsoft Golf 1998 and Infamous 18. Features live video and narration from Greg, on his home course. |
| Go Go Golf | Midas Games | PlayStation 2 (PAL) | Golfshrine's first PAL game and what a strange one it is, eschewing aim controls for predetermined shots. With names. And Top Gun music. |
| Golden Tee Golf Plug-and-Play | Incredible Technologies, Farsight Studios | Plug-and-Play | Standalone TV game with accurate replication of arcade trackball controls. Powered by (missing) DC adapter or by 4 AA batteries. Software is a modified version of another golf game Farsight developed for a motion-sensing club controller. |
| Golf Club: Birdie Rush | Data East | Famicom (JP) | |
| Golf Magazine: 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples | Sega Sports | Sega 32X | The only 32X golf game, said to have been made by former Access Software staff. |
| Golf | Atari Corporation | Atari 2600 | It only superficially resembles golf, but it's a very early example of video game golf and deserves as much a place as any. |
| Golf | Nintendo | Famicom (JP) | One of the "pulse label" Famicom games. Satoru Iwata's first game. |
| Golf | Nintendo | NES (USA) | US release of Satoru Iwata's game. Clamshelled. |
| Golf | Nintendo | Game Boy | The label is Japanese, but the ROM is identical worldwide as far as I can tell. |
| Golf | Nintendo, T&E Soft | Virtual Boy | AKA "T&E Virtual Golf", this was the Virtual Boy's only golf game. I don't even own a VB, but I'm glad to finally have this in the collection. |
| Golfle Golf (γ΄γ«γγ« GOLF) | Artdink | PlayStation 2 (JP) | Chibi-style golf with very approachable stick-flick swinging. Was released in the UK by Midas Interactive as "Mr. Golf." |
| Golfkko Open | Taito | Famicom (JP) | In a unique plastic case with cartoon artwork that stands out from the pack. |
| Great Golf | Sega of America | Sega Master System | Golfshrine's first SMS golf game, complete in its nondescript white grid box. |
| HAL Hole In One Golf | HAL America, Inc. | Super NES | |
| Hot Shots Golf | Sony, Camelot | PlayStation | |
| Hot Shots Golf 2 | Sony, Clap Hanz | PlayStation | This is the one that features Gex as a guest golfer. |
| Hot Shots Golf 3 | Sony, Clap Hanz | PlayStation 2 | |
| Hot Shots Golf: Fore! | Sony, Clap Hanz | PlayStation 2 | |
| Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee | Sony, Clap Hanz | PlayStation Portable | Greatest Hits release. |
| Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 | Sony, Clap Hanz | PlayStation Portable | Allows high degree of character costume editing, with no gender restrictions whatsoever. |
| Hu PGA Tour - Power Golf 2: Golfer | Hudson Soft | PC Engine CD-ROM | Golfshrine's first PCE-CD game. It renders in 3D, uses CD audio to play nature sounds, and has an option to place TV cameras manually around the current hole. |
| Infamous 18 (Loyal H. "Bud" Chapman's) | aboutGolf, Ltd. | Windows | Recreates the 18 holes depicted in Bud Chapman's series of paintings from the 1980s, in full 3D. Shoot along the edge of the Grand Canyon, off the roof of a Wall Street skyscraper, or through an ice shelf in Antarctica. |
| Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf | Konami | NES (USA) | This is the one where Jack Nicklaus looks like Jack Torrance from The Shining. |
| Jack Nicklaus Golf | Tradewest | Game Boy | Cartridge only. |
| Jack Nicklaus Golf and Course Design: Signature Edition | Accolade | DOS | Complete in box. This golf sim comes with a very user-friendly course editor tool where you can freely draw an entire course on a pre-generated plot of land, and then write words for Jack Nicklaus to say about each hole. |
| Jack Nicklaus 4 DVD-ROM Edition | Accolade | Windows | DVD-ROM disc includes both the game files and regular DVD video, of Jack Nicklaus' "Toughest 18 Holes" video in MPEG-2 format. Shipped in a case not unlike a DVD movie at the time; a very early example of consumer DVD-ROM software. |
| Jack Nicklaus 5 | Accolade | Windows | Includes a course creator tool on-disc. |
| John Daly's ProStroke Golf | Gusto Games, Oxygen Games | PlayStation 3 | Supports PlayStation Move controllers. I know little else about it, honestly. |
| Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf | SNK | NES (USA) | Not actually about fighting, despite the dev credit. Clamshelled. Probably the game that inspired The Simpsons' "Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge." |
| Links: The Challenge of Golf CD-ROM | Access Software | DOS | Original Links: The Challenge of Golf. Contains no CD enhancements and only one course. I now own two copies of this, one bearing a SoftKey holofoil sticker. The contents of both versions seem identical. |
| Links: The Challenge of Golf | Access Software, Virgin Interactive, Papyrus | Sega CD | One of very few console ports of the Links series, and Papyrus's only non-racing game ever. |
| The Original Links: Solid Gold Edition | Access Software, Laser Media | DOS | Collected edition of Links, including the original game and all seven course add-ons. |
| Links 386 CD | Access Software | DOS | Enhanced re-release of Links 386 Pro, featuring nicer sounds, 3D flyby videos, and commentary by Bobcat Goldthwait. |
| Links Pro CD Macintosh | Access Software | Mac OS | Enhanced CD version of Links Pro Mac, the Macintosh port of Links 386 Pro. Like the DOS CD version, this contains the flyby videos and Bobcat Goldthwait and is also cross-compatible with its add-on CDs. |
| Links 5-Course Library, Vol.2 | Access Software | DOS, Mac OS | Includes Banff, Troon, Cog Hill, Devil's Hill Fantasy Course, and Belfry, designed to work with Links, 386, and Microsoft Golf 1.0-3.0. I believe also works with early versions of Links LS with a converter. |
| Links LS: Legends in Sports 1997 Edition | Access Software | DOS | The last DOS-based Links game, the first Links on their new LS engine, and home of a weird memory manager called the Links LS Sentry to help it run under Windows 95. |
| Links LS 1999 | Access Software, Microsoft | Windows 9x | CIB, somehow, despite getting it from Goodwill. |
| Links Extreme | Access Software, Microsoft | Windows 9x | Bizarre alternate version of Links featuring "deathmatch" mode and Demolition Driving Range. It's not nearly as Extreme as it claims to be, but hey, it exists. |
| Links LS Classic | Microsoft, Access Software | Windows 9x | Links LS 2000 with a lot of the bonus courses included, but with the Arnold Palmer's Office multimedia content removed. |
| Links 2001 | Access Software, Microsoft | Windows 9x | Four-disc release. First Links game on new 3D engine and the final one including Arnold Palmer. |
| Links Pocket PC | Microsoft, Handmark | Windows Mobile | CD-ROM release of Handmark's Windows Mobile port of Links. |
| Links 2004 | Microsoft | Xbox | The last Links game and the only one exclusive to a console platform. |
| Mario Golf 64 | Nintendo, Camelot | Nintendo 64 (JP) | Camelot Software's first Mario Golf title. The box for it reads, in English, "For all players hoping to touch the true entertainment." |
| Mario Golf: Advance Tour | Nintendo, Camelot | Game Boy Advance | Golf as an RPG? Somehow works. |
| Mario Golf: Super Rush | Nintendo | Switch | Mii golfer, RPG mode, and Speed Golf, among other things. |
| Mecarobot Golf | Toho Co., Advance Communication | Super NES | US release of "Serizawa Nobuo no Birdie Try" where real-life pro Serizawa has been replaced with a robot named Eagle. What a weird way to avoid relicensing. |
| Microsoft Golf 1.0 Multimedia Edition | Microsoft | Windows 3.x | Windows port (with enhancements) of original Links under license from Access. Features additional "silly sounds" option just in case your golf wasn't wacky enough, and is compatible with courses for the original game. The CD-ROM release with "MULTI-MEDIA EDITION" emblazoned on the front cover. |
| Microsoft Golf 3.0 | Microsoft | Windows 3.x, Windows 95 | Windows port (with enhancements) of Links 386 Pro under license from Access. Features improved UI over previous versions, is compatible with Links 386 courses, and has a few alternate sets of commentators such as "Comedy" and "Attitude." (Neither of which are Bobcat Goldthwait.) |
| Microsoft Golf 1998 Eddie Bauer Special Edition | Microsoft, Friendly Software | Windows 9x | Special cut-down version of MS Golf '98. I don't think this was sold separately, it may have been a pack-in with a computer brand or something. This was made after MS Golf stopped being based on Links. |
| NES Open Tournament Golf | Nintendo | NES | The fancy one with Mario wearing the stripey clothes. Probably the best golf on the NES. |
| Namco Open | Namco, TOSE | Super Famicom | |
| Neo Turf Masters | SNK | Neo Geo Pocket Color (USA) | Pocket-sized version of the legendary arcade game. Surprisingly accurate to the real thing. |
| New 3D Golf Simulation: Harukanaru Augusta | T&E Soft | Super Famicom | First version of Harukanaru Augusta for SFC, I believe to be the first of T&E Soft's SFC games. |
| New 3D Golf Simulation: Harukanaru Augusta 2 Masters | T&E Soft | Super Famicom | Second version of Harukanaru Augusta for SFC, enlarges the viewing window, adds more course-side objects, tunes up the interface, among other things. |
| New 3D Golf Simulation: Harukanaru Augusta 3 Masters New | T&E Soft | Super Famicom | Part of the updated "NEW" line of 3D Golf Simulations by T&E, that include an SA-1 chip to enhance the 3D rendering of the course compared to earlier SFC versions. |
| New 3D Golf Simulation: Pebble Beach Golf Links | T&E Soft | Super Famicom | |
| Outlaw Golf | Simon & Schuster | Xbox | Comedic take on golf, featuring commentary by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrell, and a Composure mechanic where your golfer will get angrier with bad shots and will affect their stats (and calm down by beating up the caddy). |
| Outlaw Golf: Holiday Golf | Simon & Schuster | Xbox | Xbox-exclusive standalone "demo" with 9 new holes on a winter-themed course. Included a $5 rebate for the full game. |
| Outlaw Golf: 9 More Holes of Xmas | Simon & Schuster | Xbox | Blockbuster Video-exclusive release with 9 more holes on a winter-themed course. |

| PGA Tour Golf | Electronic Arts, Sterling Silver Software | Sega Genesis | Clamshelled. |
| PGA Tour Golf | Electronic Arts | Super Nintendo | Cartridge only; thanks to Mom for picking this one up ;) |
| PGA Tour Golf | Electronic Arts | Mac OS Classic (68k) | Black and white graphics, CIB. Runs on my Mac Plus. |
| PGA Tour Golf II | Electronic Arts | Sega Genesis | Now complete in box! Also have a spare cartridge-only copy now. |
| PGA Tour Golf III | Electronic Arts | Sega Genesis | CIB. |
| PGA Tour Golf 486 | Electronic Arts | DOS | Enhanced PC CD-ROM version of PGA Tour Golf III, clearly a branding attempt to outdo Links 386. Actually pretty nice-looking, has the new swing and aim meters. |
| PGA European Tour | Electronic Arts | Sega Genesis | Not the last PGA Tour game on Genesis, there was one more. CIB. |
| PGA Tour '96 | Electronic Arts | Sega Genesis | The actual last PGA Tour game on Genesis. CIB. |

| PGA Tour Gold (CD-ROM Classics) | Electronic Arts | Windows | A 1998 edition of PGA Tour for Windows. |
| Picture Perfect Golf: The Front 9 Holes of Harbour Town Golf Club | LYRIQ International | DOS/Windows | The golf course is represented entirely in static photographs of the real course from various angles. A bit awkward in practice but kind of a neat idea at least. Also proudly proclaims support for an infrared golf club controller (not included). Advertises other editions for other courses that I'm unsure if were released. |
| Power Golf | Hudson Soft, NEC | TurboGrafx 16 | Golfshrine's second HuCARD game and the first in English, complete in its jewelcase. I love the HuCARD jewelcases. |
| ProStroke Golf: World Tour 2007 | Oxygen Games | XBox | Features a slightly unusual twin-stick adjustment system for swinging, first-person swing view, and a course editor. Home of Schmoe, the saddest golfer. |
| Rory McIlroy PGA Tour | EA Sports | PlayStation 4 | The last EA Sports PGA Tour game before 2K Sports briefly took over; rebranding apparently taking place after controversy surrounding Tiger Woods. |
| SimGolf | Maxis | Windows 9x | Almost CIB - was missing one of 3 golf balls, which I've since replaced with a WW Labs one I ordered custom. |
| Sid Meier's SimGolf | EA, Maxis, Firaxis Games | Windows | Less of a golf simulation, more of a golf course tycoon game - build your course, invite people to play on it, make money from people signing up for memberships and maybe even host tournaments. Also play on it with a simplified interface and player-insert character. |

| Super Naxat Open: Golf de Shoubu da! Dorabocchan | Naxat Soft | Super Famicom | Golf sim with RPG elements, starring the cutesy cast of one of Naxat Soft's other games. Got a fan-translation some years ago, tooοΈ. |
| Super Swing Golf | Tecmo, Ntreevsoft | Nintendo Wii | Another offline adaptation of PangYa, this one adding motion controls. |

| Swing Away Golf | T&E Soft | PlayStation 2 | I think this was T&E Soft's last golf game under that banner? |
| Swingerz Golf | Fresh Games by Eidos | GameCube | |
| T&E VR Golf: Pebble Beach Golf Links | T&E Soft | 3DO (JP) | Japanese version of 3DO Pebble Beach Golf Links. Sadly, this isn't the one with Craig Stadler in it, he seems to be exclusive to the Saturn version. |
| Tecmo World Cup Golf | Tecmo | PlayStation | Jewelcase release. This is that one where the cover art is just a pixelated screenshot of the game. Top notch, fellas. Also the game can't decide what it's called - the spine says Tecmo World Cup Golf, the front cover says Tecmo World Golf...come on. |
| Tee Off | Acclaim | Sega Dreamcast | US localization of "Golf Shiyouyo," featuring "the futuristic Gate Ball mode." |
| Tee Time | GameTek, Really Interesting Software Company | DOS | CIB. Known in Europe as "Hole in One." |

| Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf | Electronic Arts | Game Boy Advance | First GBA edition of Tiger, from 2002. |
| Tiger Woods '99 PGA Tour Golf | Electronic Arts | PlayStation | Pulled from shelves by EA after it was discovered that the file ZZDUMMY.DAT on PS1 versions of the game was actually 5 minutes worth of South Park's The Spirit of Christmas. This is a pre-recall copy. Amazing. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 | Electronic Arts | PlayStation | Supports DualShock controllers. The first mainline PGA Tour game to have analog stick swinging. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 | Electronic Arts | Windows | Complete in big box - this game features basketball star Michael Jordan as a playable golfer! |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 - Buick PGA Tour Courses | Electronic Arts | Windows | Expansion pack for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000, featuring the three courses Buick sponsored for the real-world PGA Tour. Read the article for why that's significant. |

| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 | Electronic Arts | Windows | First Tiger game to feature the EA Sports Game Face? Complete in box. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 | Electronic Arts | Nokia N-Gage | As far as I'm aware, the only golf game for the N-Gage! 99% identical to the Game Boy Advance version though, apart from one course (The Predator) being locked behind Nokia's discontinued N-Gage Arena online service. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour | Electronic Arts | Nintendo DS | Another DS version of Tiger Woods, without a year attached to it. Doesn't give a year on the box, but released in late 2004. |

| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 | Electronic Arts | PlayStation 2 | |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 Family DVD Game | Electronic Arts | DVD Player | An adaptation of EA's Tiger Woods series, meant to be played on any regular ol' DVD player and not a game console. It accomplishes this with tons of pre-rendered footage and heaps of the Olde Magicks. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 | Electronic Arts | Nintendo DS | |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play | Electronic Arts | Nintendo Wii | One of a handful of "All-Play" editions of EA Sports titles from 2008-09, intended to be more approachable to players who do not normally play video games. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 | Electronic Arts | PlayStation 3 | Runs on the same engine as EA's survival horror game, Dead Space. Contains several costume items from other EA games; Dead Space's Engineer Suit is one of them. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: Masters | Electronic Arts | XBox 360 | It took two attempts to get a copy of this one. This game emphasizes the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. It's not the only TWPGA game that does. |
| Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 | Electronic Arts | XBox 360 | In a slightly crushed case, but not bad for a garage sale find. |
| True Golf Classics: Waialae Country Club | T&E Soft | 3DO | CIB. Yes, I have three different versions of this game. I regret nothing. |

| VR Golf 97 | Interplay, VR Sports | PlayStation | I think this was a Gremlin Graphics game called Actua Golf in Europe? |
| Virtual Golf: The Scottish Open | Core Design | DOS | Golf sim from the team responsible for Tomb Raider. Lets you color your golfer almost any way you want. |
| Virtual Hydlide | T&E Soft | Sega Saturn (JP) | Powered by the 3D engine T&E developed for their golf simulators. Yes, really. |
| Virtual Reality Golf: Golden Fairway FX | The MVP Network | Windows | An online-exclusive golf game, active between 1999 and 2008. This does mean the game on the disc is completely unplayable now, since the servers no longer exist, but it is a bit of obscure history anyway. |
| Wii Sports | Nintendo | Nintendo Wii | Includes a Golf game in its selection of 5 games. Notable in the speedrunning community, for some reason. |
| Winning Shot | Data East | PC Engine | Pretty much just a golf game - came out roughly the same time as Power Golf did, so never saw a US release. |
| World Class Golf | Radica | Handheld | Standalone LCD handheld game, earlier model with smaller swing button in bottom right corner. |
| World Class Leader Board Golf | Access Software, Tiertex | Game Gear | Handheld adaptation of Access' computer golf sim, with most of the digital speech intact, even. |

The Offshrine
This auxiliary table will contain related material - golf of unconventional types, perhaps. Miniature, fantasy, Frisbee, I don't fully know yet.

What's so interesting? |
| 3D Ultra Minigolf | Sierra/Dynamix | Windows/Mac | I suppose this is going to be Golfshrine's first miniature golf game! It's going to get all kinds of weirder from here. (I now own two copies of this.) |
| Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am | Adult Swim, Midway Games | PlayStation 2 | Golf with combat - an over-the-top video game adaptation of the surreal and absurd late-night animated TV show, and kind of a remake of Atari's Ninja Golf. |
| Beavis and Butt-Head: Bunghole in One | MTV Interactive, Illusions | Windows | Miniature golf game starring Mike Judge's two music video commentators. Pseudo-3D perspective holes set in various locations from the TV show. ...Also not actually very good. This copy has a sticker indicating it's "property of HP Compatibility Lab." |
| Kidz Sports Crazy Golf | Data Design Interactive, Bold Games | Nintendo Wii | An otherwise ordinary minigolf game from a budget developer, was briefly the subject of legal threats from Nintendo over their "NuYu" character creator. |
| Kirby's Dream Course | Nintendo/HAL | Super NES | How about "everything"? Golf with Kirby powers and a boss fight. It's so weird. And brutally hard. |
| Miniature Golf | Atari | Atari 2600 | Only the second-ever golf game on the Atari 2600! |
| Original Frisbee-Disc Sports - Ultimate and Golf | DSi Games | Nintendo DS | Golfshrine's first simulation of Frisbee golf - and one of only two that I'm aware of being published physically. |
