PGA Tour Golf is a golf simulation game developed by Sterling Silver Software and published by Electronic Arts. Released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), it is beloved by players for its realistic golf experience and diverse game modes.
The game features three real golf courses: PGA West, TPC Avenel, and TPC Sawgrass, plus a fictional course called Sterling Shores. Players can choose from multiple game modes, including tournament, practice, putting practice, and driving range. In tournament mode, players compete against 60 virtual golfers for the championship title. It also includes a replay feature to review every great shot.
Before each hole, the game provides a 3D preview, with the camera moving from the hole to the player’s starting position to help plan shot strategies. It also offers a top-down course map and a 3D grid view of the green, making it easy to analyze terrain and plan the best putting lines.
With its realistic physics engine, rich game modes, and detailed graphics, PGA Tour Golf became a classic golf game of its era, earning high praise from players and critics alike.
