Gameplay

Test your putting prowess in 18 Holes Pro Golf, a two-player sports game released by Data East Corporation in 1981. Players take turns navigating a virtual golf course, attempting to complete each of the eighteen holes with as few strokes as possible. The gameplay emphasizes strategic club selection and precise timing to successfully guide your ball across the green towards the pin. Originally appearing as a DECO Cassette game, this standalone printed circuit board version offers a straightforward golfing experience focused on skill rather than elaborate presentation. While it shares its foundation with the earlier Tournament Pro Golf, 18 Holes Pro Golf provides a distinct arcade challenge for two competitors striving to achieve the lowest overall score. Released in September of 1981, this game represents an early example of golf simulation within the arcade environment.
