Golf is a highly technical sport, and it would take some serious work to adapt the sport into a video game.

While all the beautiful scenery you see on a golf course is brought to life, the golf swing is an art itself.

Most of the games listed find it hard to implement the complicated mechanics of golf, such as the body or hip movement and arm and wrist action involved in the backswing and downswing.

However, games like PGA Tour 2K still find ways to make the experience as realistic as possible. Some games take a different path with more arcadey-style gameplay, like Golf With Your Friends.

This list will contain the best golf games on Steam, whether they focus on realism and simulation or give an exciting twist to the game of golf.
