Would have to be Pangya. I've been playing it on and off since its release in 2005 (US version). Outside of Pangya, the only other golf game that I've put more than a few hours in would be Everybody's Golf. While I enjoyed playing Everybody's Golf it just wasn't able to hook me like Pangya did. I do plan on jumping back into Everybody's Golf on PS4 once the VR update is released.
I love Neo Turf Masters from NEOGEO, you can play it through ACA NEOGEO.
Links 386 Pro is my jam
fuuuuuck I thought that game looked great at the time
New Turf Masters and Links on the xbox have still not been topped. So far ahead of the composition its mental.
The true GOAT. I still like firing this up every now and then to build a course and play on it.
So much this! Aside from the GBC and GBA Mario Golf games Pangya on PC is the only golf game I really love, the mechanics were great, the courses were fantastic and the overall presentation was straight up magical! I'm really sad the PC version got shut-down :( I know we have the mobile version atleast but that feels somewhat hollow and has a insane difficulty curve :/
And I'll use this chance to post my favorite music-track from Pangya:
There's this Korean mmo golf game me and my brother played a long long time ago called Albatross. Shit was tight! Pretty sure it's still played today
And the humor!!Golf Story. I never expected someone could do a RPG about golf that will not only work, but will be so awesome. But here we are. Such a great game.
.I liked Wii Sports Resort Golf because of the motion controls.
I loved the RPG aspect of this game. So addicting. Hot Shots World Invitational is another high one for me. Actually the whole franchise is just the best. The open world PS4 version is amazing. And they're doing a VR version now too. I wish they would do more on the RPG side of that series.
I 100% agree about the mobile version. While it's great to be able to play the game on a mobile device there is just too much missing from the game. Music is also a massive step down when compared to the PC version. While it may not be possible to play on the official servers the game can still be played on private servers. If you're interested in playing on a private server I would be more than happy to walk you through the process via PM. This goes for anyone that would like to play the game again! Just send me a PM and I'll help get you started.
Another Pangya fan! "Albatross 18" was the name used for the western release in 2005. The name was changed back to it's original name "Pangya" in 2009 when Ntreev (Developer of Pangya) decided to take control of publishing the game in west. The game was shutdown in 2016. Now the only way to play the game is on a private server.
If any of the Mario Golf sequels actually improved on it, I wouldn't know, Mario Golf GBC is the only one I've played.I loved the RPG aspect of this game. So addicting.

They actually didn't. There has always been a Mario Golf on every Nintendo platform but they never did the addictive stat manipulation of the GBC game again.If any of the Mario Golf sequels actually improved on it, I wouldn't know, Mario Golf GBC is the only one I've played.
Yeah, I thought about playing the mobile-version on a Android Emulator on PC and see how that fairs but sadly the game doesn't support multi-login too well :/ And I might get back to you on that, how's the state of the private servers at the moment? I tried looking into one before but it seemed quite incomplete.
