Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf is a classic sports simulation released for the NES in 1988 by SNK. Endorsed by golf legend Lee Trevino and the US National Video Game Team, it features an 18-hole course packed with challenging hazards like deep bunkers and water traps. You can choose from four distinct playable golfers, each with their own unique balance of drive distance and accuracy. The game utilizes a traditional three-click swing meter, requiring careful club selection and timing to stay under par.
How to Play
Your objective is to complete the 18-hole course with the lowest score possible. The default NES controls in the browser are mapped as follows:
- Arrow Keys: Aim your shot, choose clubs, and navigate menus
- Z: Start the swing meter, determine power, and set accuracy (A button)
- X: Cancel actions or view the course layout (B button)
- Enter: Pause or start the game (Start)
- Shift: Select options (Select)
Tips
- Always check the wind indicator at the top of the screen before driving; strong crosswinds will push your ball off course if you don’t compensate.
- When putting, study the arrows on the green to read the slope and adjust your aim opposite to the break direction.
- Select a golfer that matches your skill levelโbeginners may prefer a character with higher accuracy to avoid shanking shots into the rough.
