Super FamiComplete #43: True Golf Classics: Waialae Country Club (Redux)

 

Title: True Golf Classics: Waialae Country Club

Release Date: November 1991 

Developer/Publisher: T&E Soft

So here we are at the final US developed game for November 1991, and wouldn't you know it, it is another sports title. This time, our second golf game that is centered around a particular country club or course, this one in Hawaii. 

Background

This game was developed by T&E Soft, a developer who is best known for two things: the Hydlide series of games (a game series that has gained notoriety through youtube personalities such as the Angry Video Game Nerd and Projared), and this True Golf Classics series, which always takes place at a well known country club. The country club of this game is the famous Waialae Country Club in Hawaii. The club itself is a 90 year old course, and it hosts various tournaments over the years, and has been used in many different video games.  It is quite pretty as well. 

Another fun fact is that this game was one of the launch titles when the SNES debuted in North America. 

Gameplay

For a golf game on the SNES, this game is pretty darn functional. It's easy to pick up and play, and the graphics help make the gameplay functional. They use a psuedo-3D perspective, rather than a birdseye view, which helps make the game actually feel like golf. 

This game lets you choose a caddy, and they are just some goofy looking lil guys. Love em. They even give you some helpful advice along the way like an actual professional caddy.

Does the golf music hold up?

Sports games, especially golf games, usually have pretty good music. This one does as well!

Final Verdict

It is definitely the best golf game yet on the SNES. I enjoyed it a great deal, but again, it is only for those who are a fan of golf games already. Definitely check out the music though!
