ATARI GOLF 2600

The golf course includes a nine-hole, par 36 course, which can be played by one or two players. The game is played from an overhead view of the course, which is complete with sand traps, water hazards, trees and rough. The player does not have the option of choosing different clubs, so the distance the ball travels is controlled by the magnitude of the backswing. The direction is controlled by the position of the player in relation to the ball. When the player finally reaches the green, the view switches to a close-up of the putting green. Two different skill levels are available which control the size of the cup and the amount of power lost in rough or sand.
