The user must first decide whether to play single stroke play or the two player selections of doubles stroke play or match play. The user is then placed at the tee of the first hole of eighteen.

It was the first golf game to feature a power/accuracy bar for swinging the club. The power bar method has been used in most golf games since.

Golf received mixed to positive reviews and is now considered to be one of the most famous games for the NES. It was given a mixed review by ScrewAttack.
