A running list of video game platforms on which I have found NO GOLF (oh shit another update):

Tiger R-Zone
Apple/Bandai Pippin
ColecoVision
Mega Duck
Epoch Cassette Vision
Casio Loopy
Gakken Compact Vision TV Boy
Koei Pasogo
PV-1000
Microvision
SuperVision 8000
Tomy Tutor
Dick Smith Wizzard
Epoch Game Pocket Computer
Vectrex

Sub-List: Platforms previously thought to have no golf that do in fact have golf:

Wii U - No dedicated golf games to my knowledge, but Wii Sports Club has golf.
Sega SG-1000 - has Champion Golf.
Tiger Game.com - While not released and no prototype has been found, Mulligan's Golf Challenge was said to be coming soon.
Atari Jaguar - No finished golf game released, but prototypes of Jack Nicklaus Cyber Golf exists.

An updated version of this post now has a permanent home at Golfshrine: https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/nogolflist.html

seriously, the virtual boy has a golf game on it, the goddamn N-GAGE has a golf game on it, the motherfucking Gizmondo has a golf game.

the Tiger Game.com almost had a golf game for it. The Atari Jaguar almost had a golf game for it. in the grand scheme of it i'd say those count as them having golf games.

The Tandy Memorex Video Information System sold a grand total of 11,000 units throughout its short retail life.

It had a golf game.

and not just a golf game: it had LINKS, the golf game. and as far as I'm able to tell, that's one of only three "console" versions of Links, ever (counting the Xbox game)

update again: while the ColecoVision console does not have a golf game itself, its slightly more advanced computer system version, the Coleco ADAM, apparently does:

Well I can shrink your list a little. The Sega SG-1000 had Champion Golf, which actually predates Famicom golf, and it looks like someone did a homebrew port of HAL's Hole in One Golf to the Colecovision.

Edit: but for an addition, I'm pleased to inform you that you can add the Dick Smith Wizzard.

shit that might actually qualify

NeckSpike @neckspike8/16/2024, 1:08 AM

golf is a fundamental type of video game

@darryl @darryl8/16/2024, 1:18 AM

The Ouya has a golf game, loosely defined.

The PICO-8 has a golf game.

The Google Stadia had a golf game.

I think you’re onto something here.

@darryl @darryl8/16/2024, 1:22 AM

I cannot find any evidence that the Apple Bandai Pippin ever had a golf game, but that’s digging pretty deep.

Weasel Hills Golf & C.C. (hole 19)@wildweasel8/16/2024, 2:31 AM

yeah i don't expect Bandai ever made one and i can't imagine they'd have convinced EA Sports to make a version of PGA Tour for half the RAM and no hard disk

sirocyl @sirocyl8/16/2024, 3:53 AM

was there a golf game on the Atari ~~Links~~ Lynx?

Weasel Hills Golf & C.C. (hole 19)@wildweasel8/16/2024, 3:55 AM

Yes, Awesome Golf from 1991. Have wanted it for a while but it is slightly not cheap.

@Fel-Temp-Reparatio8/16/2024, 7:41 AM

Yeah, you need to get really obscure. The only well known console coming to mind that's not yet on the list is the Tiger Game.com. Otherwise it's really obscure stuff like the Epoch Cassette Vision (though there is one for the follow up Super Cassette Vision), Casio Loopy, Gakken Compact Vision TV Boy, and Koei Pasogo.

Weasel Hills Golf & C.C. (hole 19)@wildweasel8/16/2024, 8:30 AM

I believe you are correct about all of these, though there was a golf game allegedly being made for the Game.com called "Mulligan's Golf Challenge." No prototype has surfaced, to my knowledge, but it being on the list of cancelled games makes me hesitant to declare that the system never saw a golf game.
