Overview

Bandai Golf: Challenge Pebble Beach is a golf sim from Bandai and developers-for-hire TOSE for the NES. Unlike many golf games, this was never released in Japan and remains a US exclusive.

The game plays much like every other golf game for the system: Players select the club and the direction they're pointing in, stop a meter at the desired amount of power they wish to use and then repeat the process from wherever the ball may land. A minor difference is that this game accounts for the topography for the course, displaying the lay of the land from a horizontal perspective along the top of the screen. This helps the player identify where the inclines are.
