Family Computer Golf: U.S. Course is a classic 1987 sports game developed by Nintendo for the Famicom Disk System. As a follow-up to the original NES Golf, this entry brings players to a challenging 18-hole course modeled after American links. Featuring Mario as your golfer, the game offers slightly refined graphics and physics compared to its predecessor, alongside the original disk system’s ability to save tournament scores.
How to Play
Your objective is to complete the 18-hole course with the lowest possible number of strokes while accounting for wind speed, club selection, and terrain. Use the D-pad (Arrow keys) to aim your shot and switch clubs. Press A (Z) to start your swing, press A again to set your shot’s power, and press A a third time precisely in the white impact zone to determine your accuracy. Press B (X) to cancel your swing setup.
Tips
- Watch the Wind: The wind indicator at the top of the screen heavily impacts the ball’s trajectory. Compensate by aiming in the opposite direction before swinging.
- Master the Impact Zone: The three-click swing system requires careful timing. If your third click misses the center mark, your shot will aggressively hook or slice, often landing you in a bunker or water hazard.
