Hit the links in Jack Nicklaus’ Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf, released for the NES in 1990. This classic golf simulation lets you step into the shoes of the Golden Bear himself or create your own golfer to tackle some of the most famous and challenging holes in the sport. With its detailed courses and strategic gameplay, you’ll need to carefully consider wind, club selection, and green slopes to shoot under par.
How to Play
Your objective is to complete the 18 holes with the lowest score possible. Master the swing meter to control your shot’s power and accuracy.
- D-Pad (Arrow Keys): Aim your shot, select clubs, and navigate menus
- A Button (Z Key): Start the swing meter, set power, and determine accuracy
- B Button (X Key): View an overhead map of the hole or cancel a selection
- Start (Enter): Pause the game
Tips
- Pay close attention to the wind indicator before taking a shot, as strong gusts will drastically alter your ball’s trajectory.
- When putting, study the green’s break and adjust your aim accordingly. It’s often better to leave a long putt slightly short rather than overshooting it.
