Well, I like some golf games. I appreciate the skill involved for the real sport, but I'm not really that much into it. I do love hitting the greens in video game form though.
Faves:
Neo Turfmasters (Neo Geo)
Swing Away Golf (PS2)
Hot Shots Fore (PS2)
Outlaw Golf 2 (XBOX)
What I'm really getting at here is, well the developers.
I mean, check this out.
Nazca...the Metal Slug team also created Neo TurfMasters, and T&E Soft created Swing Away Golf (and countless other golf titles including Wicked 18 SNES, etc) but also UndeadLine for the Megadrive!!!
I wonder if there's more dev teams who make shmups and play golf?
I heard Konami has a cool arcade golf game...never seen it though.
Some Shmup-heads love Golf!!!

Naxat Soft, famous for several excellent PCE shmups (and, erm, Planet Joker for Saturn...) also had a golf game "Naxat Open" for PCE. Jolly good, relaxing fun.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Yea, I've heard of Naxat Open.
I was looking through the list at KLOV, and Konami has at least 6 arcade golf games. Thats really no surprise though, as they are a huge company and any large company is going to offer games of all types.
I'm mainly refering to the smaller dev teams/companies though.
I wonder if Irem has one? Taito has a few...then again, they're pretty big.

Sega has also developed a number of arcade golf games, most of which haven't made it outside Japan.
But speaking of great golf games, I've heard nothing but excellent things about the Seta-developed GameCube game "Legend of Golfer" - it looks terrific, but aside from a review on NTSC-UK, I've never seen anything about it. Seems to have gone completely under the radar. Has anyone played it?

I despise the real life game however I always got a kick out of the Camelot golf games (Hot Shots, Mario Golf.) A multi-tap, a few beers, and a lazy Sunday afternoon always makes for a good time. I just wish we wouldn't get those wretched "westernized" character models we got in the past few Hot Shots titles. Interestingly enough I got a copy of Naxat Open for free when I bought my PC Engine and have never once fired it up. Maybe I need to give it a shot.
