PGA Tour Golf II hit the Sega Genesis in 1992, bringing a solid golf simulation to the 16-bit era. It was developed by Sterling Silver Software and published by Sega, releasing in both North America and Europe. This wasn't just a simple arcade swing; it aimed for a more realistic take on the sport, building on the foundations of the original PGA Tour Golf with improved visuals and a deeper career mode. You take control of a custom golfer and play through a full season on the PGA Tour, aiming to earn money and climb the leaderboards. The core gameplay revolves around the three-click swing meter: press to start, press to set power, press again to set accuracy. You'll choose clubs, account for wind and terrain, and read greens for putting. Courses are based on real PGA layouts, and the game tracks your stats round by round. PGA Tour Golf II remains a benchmark for early golf games on the Genesis. It strikes a fine balance between simulation and pick-up-and-play accessibility. The career mode gives it lasting appeal, and the course variety keeps each round fresh. For retro sports fans, it's a worthy play that shows how far golf games had come by the early '90s, even if later titles would refine the formula further.

How to play PGA Tour Golf II online

Getting Started

When you first start PGA Tour Golf II, you'll either jump into a quick round or start a career. In career mode, you create a golfer and begin on the Tour. The main screen shows the course map and your current score. Use the D‑Pad to navigate menus and confirm with the A button.

The swing mechanic is the heart of the game. You press A to start the power meter, press A again to set your power, and press A a third time to set accuracy. Getting the timing right is everything. Wind and lie affect your shot, so check the information panel before each swing. Putting uses a green grid that shows slopes - read it carefully to sink putts.

New players should start with a practice round or a quick play mode to get a feel for the swing timing. Don't try to smash every drive; a smooth, consistent swing yields better results. Also, club selection matters - the game gives you a recommended club, but you can override it if you need more or less distance.
