Jack Nicklaus Golf - SNES Gameplay

Three holes of golf in Jack Nicklaus' Power Challenge Golf for the Super Nintendo (SNES). Actual console play. Not emulated.

Jack Nicklaus Golf is missing most of the innovative features found in state-of-the-art 16-bit golf simulations. It's little more than a graphical update of the Jack Nicklaus golf game on the NES.

The game employs a vertically-oriented three-click swing meter. Club lengths are provided on screen. Wind is a factor. Single round stroke play and some practice options are the only game modes available. There is no tournament mode. Two courses are included in the game.

Putting in Jack Nicklaus Golf is extremely forgiving. Simply aim the ball at the hole, with a reasonable amount of speed, and most putts will drop. A grid can be toggled to reveal the topography of the green between the hole and the ball's current position, but it's rarely necessary to make use of it.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Jack Nicklaus Golf. Played for its own sake, it can be a serviceable diversion. Nevertheless, its presentation and gameplay belong to an earlier, 8-bit era. It simply lacks the features necessary for it to be able to stand with the best of its contemporaries.
