SimGolf

About

SimGolf by Maxis is a golf simulation that adds quirky twists to the sport. Choose between precise mouse-driven swings that mimic real back-and-through motions or a simpler three-click system. Build custom courses by placing hazards like water traps, sand bunkers, and even cartoonish lava flows over randomized terrain. The game supports single player matches or head-to-head contests with up to three others over LAN or early internet connections. The course editor is the real standout letting you mix practical obstacles with absurd ones for comedic effect. Six different shot replay angles add depth for analyzing play. Released in 1996 this title blends traditional golf mechanics with the chaotic creativity Maxis fans knew from earlier Sim titles. The mix of simulation and silliness makes it a curiosity for retro sports fans.
