PGA Tour Golf was released on 1992-07-03 , and it introduced many conventions seen in the genre since. The three-click control method allowed for a multitude of different shots, and required a sense of timing.
The game features four courses, one of which is a fantasy 'links' course designed by the programmers. Some of the holes are challenging, with bunkers, water hazards, and trees, and players need to plan their strategies to get to the green.
When playing in tournaments, there are 60 opponents, each representing top US golfers. Ten of these characters appear in the game, providing tactical advice for each hole.
