Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf

Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf is a classic golf simulation developed and published by SNK for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. Featuring professional golfer Lee Trevino as the character Super Mex in the North American release, the game brings a detailed golfing experience to the 8-bit console. Despite its unusual title, there is no fighting involved. The challenge comes from choosing the right shots, controlling your swing, and completing each hole with as few strokes as possible.

Players can choose from four golfers, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Pretty Amy offers excellent control and accuracy, Big Jumbo specializes in powerful long-distance shots, Super Mex provides a balanced combination of distance and precision, and Miracle Chosuke is known for accuracy and putting ability. Finding the character that suits your playing style can make a real difference on difficult holes.

The game features two complete courses, an American course and a Japanese course, with 18 holes each. Players must navigate fairways, greens, sand traps, rough terrain, water hazards, and out-of-bounds areas. Wind, distance, club selection, and swing timing all influence the outcome of a shot, so careful planning is essential.

Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf includes three game modes: Stroke Play, Nassau Game, and Practice. Stroke Play supports up to four players competing over 18 holes, while Nassau Game offers a points-based contest. Practice mode lets a solo player work on a selected hole without playing a full round.

With its variety of golfers, courses, and multiplayer options, Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf is an engaging choice for fans of retro sports games and classic NES golf simulations.
