Waialae Country Club on N64 is one of those golf games that actually makes you feel like you're lining up a shot—wind, slope, and all. The greens look deceptively simple until you realize they've got just enough subtle breaks to mess with your putts. First time I played, I thought I could just power through, but the physics actually punish you for overswinging.

What I like is how the course feels real—not some fantasy golf land, but an actual place with palm trees swaying and fairways that tempt you into risky shots. The N64 graphics hold up surprisingly well for a golf sim, especially the way shadows move across the grass. If you’ve played other golf games from that era, this one’s got a slightly slower, more deliberate pace that makes club selection matter.

It’s not flashy, but it nails the quiet tension of golf—that moment when you’re squinting at the screen trying to decide if you should go for the green or play it safe. Still holds up if you’re into classic sports games.
