Sid Meier’s SimGolf is a golf game where you do not have to actually like golf in order to enjoy it. This early 00s title was one that ignored for many years, but I really wish that I gave the game the attention it deserved back then as I have had a lot of fun with it. If you want to play a strategy game that is about building a golf game, this is the game for you.

Building A Golf Empire

The idea of the game is that you have inherited this land where a golf course can be built, but nothing has actually been done! The game has you building a golf course from scratch and you also have a pro golfer that you can customize. The basic goal of Sid Meier’s SimGolf is to build a full golf course and a country club that people have fun with all the while making money.

Haven’t I Seen You Before?

With the “Sim” in the title, you will not be surprised to know that this game has a very “Sims” style to the presentation. The game is viewed from an isometric point of view and it has a very simple type of art style. This was done intentionally as the idea of this game was that even lower-end computers would be able to run it back in the day. Still, with the primitive visuals, there is a real charm to the game.The sound on the other hand flat out sucks. The music gets repetitive after about 10 minutes and it feels like you hear the same sound effects over and over again!

Golf Course Maker

Sid Meier’s SimGolf starts you off with 100 grand. You can pick from any different locations all over the world to start your golf empire. Each one will have a different terrain, Vegas for example is more dessert based and San Diego will offer you more green, Hawaii more water, and so on.

Making your course is very easy. The game has a tile base system where you need to design the holes so that they are fun to play, but also look cool. It is the kind of game that looks very, very complex, but it is actually quite easy. While the game gives you a limited amount of money at the start it is very forgiving in this regard. Making a course is just as much fun as building a house in The Sims.

Gary Golf And The Game Modes

Another part of the game has you taking care of your golfer. This part of the game has RPG elements as your golfer will get improved stats as you play. You can then enter him in competitions where you can make more money. This is a lot of fun and adds another element to the game.

As well as the main game mode, you also have a sandbox mode where you can just screw around and create a dream golf course without the worry of keeping your bank balance in the black. You can also play a tournament too, but I found this aspect of the game to be a bit underrealized in all honest.

I have to say that Sid Meier’s SimGolf is a very strange game, but it somehow works. It is the kind of game that is not going to rock your world and be super exciting the whole time you play it. However, it is a game that you just keep on playing it, it is a game that can put you in a real Zen state, and before you know it a few hours have passed. If you want to try a strategy game that is very different, I recommend you give this one a try.

Final Score

Pros:

  • The game is very addictive
  • The visuals while basic have a lot of charm to them
  • It is very easy to get into
  • The sandbox mode is fun if you want to mess around
  • It does also have RPG elements as well as strategy ones
Sid

Cons:

  • The sound is pretty brutal
  • The game overall Is not all that exciting

  • Thank you so much! I bought the CD many years ago but lost the CD cover with the key codes. Thank you again! Love this golf game during Covid time.
  • Tried on Parallels for Mac with Windows 10. Just extract the contents, then go to the golf.exe and change the compatibility settings to Windows XP and voilá. The screen size is a bit small, but is 100 playable!
  • Thanks Johnny L, worked for me. I went the the application folder where its installed and just went to properties. Set compatibility to XP. Great!
  • i need the 'code found in the white box in the CD case'
  • Anyone have a step by step way to get this working on Windows 10? I'm a noob, but loved this game way back.
  • I love this game, thanks for all the tips especially Neddo! Works perfectly for me!
  • Guys just get a Windows 98 CD and create a VM using VMware Player or Virtual Box. Both are free
  • So close - almost worse than completely failing :)
    I followed the instructions and the game appears to launch. I get a black screen, then a logo appears that seems to have CLS letters with the word Class (R) below it. I can hear the SimGolf music playing, but it never advances past this logo screen.
    Anyone else experienced this? Am trying to run it on a Mac using Crossover with a Windows 10 environment (have tried with Windows XP SP2 and Windows 98 as well, no joy.
  • My first comment on this thread was 3 years ago lol I eventually found a different download that worked beautifully. fast forward now different pc different system and i cant follow these instructions correctly to get the game past play. trying virtual box now but any tips would be great thanks
  • Update lol. Ive gotten the menu to pop up through autorun but nothing happens after play. tried all compatibility and run as admin ty for any help
  • This is amazing except for the fact that I cannot load a save without the game going unresponsive! It makes all the effort I put in worthless. Can anyone help??
    Also, it freezes when upon leaving the game when the credits roll and I hit Enter or Escape to finally get out, not a big deal but maybe there's a way to beat that.
  • Thank You!!! I've been wanting to play this again for years. Works perfect for me so far.
  • Found a Fix for Full screen, If you have a dual monitor setup just place the monitors over the other instead of side by side. BINGO!
  • I can get to the choose course screen and I can't get past it. Hugely disappointing as I loved this game as a kid. Did anyone else have this issue?
  • Max, make sure you copy/paste the golf.exe file from the .ZIP folder, not any other folder. I've just installed and it's running on Windows 10, but it only displays in a small box on my screen (does not fill the screen). If anyone has a fix for this, please share!
  • I cannot get this to work on windows 10. I have followed Neddo's instructions, but when I start the 'golf.exe' it looks like it's about to start the game. Screen goes black. And it makes a sound twice as if it's about to start the startup intro, but then fails and crashes. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
  • Anybody know how to change the resolution? Absolutely loving being able to play this game again, my original CD wasn't able to install it anymore so I am glad I found it here. Neddo had the fix that worked for me, you are the best!
  • Neddo, I've been trying to get this to work on Windows 10 for YEARS. YOU THE MAN!!
  • Hey Gamers!
    Having trouble in step one of the process of getting this to work on Windows 10. When I go to open the .zip folder, the error message 'Unexpected end of archive' appears. I can repair the .zip with WinRAR, but after doing so and extracting the sim golf folder, there is no golf.exe or the NoCD Crack golf.exe. Has anyone else run into this issue?
  • Thanks Neddo. This 100 works for Windows 10
  • how do you change the change compatibility options for the new golf.ex?
  • Thanks to all the advice above, here's how I got it working:
    1. download sim_golf.zip above
    2. extract files
    3. extract SIMGOLF.102.ENG.MYTH.NOCD
    4. copy golf.exe from that zip into the main 'Sid Meier's SimGolf' folder, overwriting the original golf.exe
    5. change compatibility options for the new golf.exe to Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and tick 'Run this program as administrator'
    6. open 'setup.bat'
    7. open 'golf.exe'
    All seems okay except two issues: the game crashes when quitting, and I get briefly stuck at a low resolution. I also want to run it in windowed mode as it is stretched on a widescreen monitor, but can't get it to work. Anyone who has achieved that, please shout.
  • Hi, Is there anyone that could post a step by step download guide?
  • i love this game! loved playing it as a kid, and love playing now! I saw a youtuber named KILLROB play, and it brought back memories. so here I am! thanks for this everyone!
  • Thanks, Aaron(and everyone else). The game works after the NOCD patch (included in download) was unzipped to the correct folder and the sound works after unzipping the sounds from the 'unpack' file.
  • You may need to enable compatibility settings for this game to work properly on Windows 10. Go to the installation directory, and click 'golf.exe', then left click and click properties, under properties go to the compatibility tab and select Windows XP.
  • HERES A FIX FOR EVERYONE DOWNLAOD GAME AND PUT IT INTO PROGAME FILES NOT 86 JUST PROGRAME FILES INSTALL PATCH 2 THEN INSTALL THE LATEST PATCH RUN UNDER VISTA COMPATIBILITY MAKE SURE TO UNZIP SOUNDS FROM BATCH FILE MINE WORKS FINE WITH SOUND JUST NO STORIES STORIES IS CORRUPT
  • I missed this game so much that I was searching for this game for 2 or more years.Last time it worked,didn't know it will work this time.
  • I followed fj's instructions and was able to play. No sound for me as well. Great to get to play this gem again, but the nostalgia bug would be cured a bit more with the funny sounds in this game. Hopefully someone has figured this out and will be kind enough to post their fix.
  • Where are the sounds? Anyone know of a fix? Its such a great game, sad to not hear a thing
  • nah, not working on win10 - keeps crashing inside the game
    running winxp on virtualbox will likely work though
    to have sound, doubleclick on setup.bat
  • managed to get it working on win10
    . replace golf.exe with the golf.exe from the 102-nocd zip
    . compatbility mode: win7
    . optional: run as admin (when i don't do this, after the ending credits when exiting, my screen resolution remains at 640x480)
    i'm unable to get 1.03 working on win10 (doesn't open)
  • i got the everything working fine but the sound is just missing.

  • First, GREAT game. I played this when it first came out for literally 100s of hours. I missed it so much I sought it out and am thrilled to find it. For those having problems, try running the game out of Windows 'Troubleshoot compatibility' mode. Tell the computer it used to run on Windows 7 and Windows will use those settings. I have zero problem running it on Windows 10 through Windows 7 compatibility.
  • @eric Hi Eric! I found this article about setting up a virtual machine really helpful: https://www.howtogeek.com/196060/beginner-geek-how-to-create-and-use-virtual-machines/
  • Ive had problems downloading this with windows 8. I downloaded the requested virtual machine as well and still cant seem to figure it out. is there a step by step process for making this game and the virtual machine work together? thanks!
  • This game is amazing and should be played by those who loves to control every aspect of a game. Unfortunately you can't play this gem on Windows 10 because EA thinks it's not worthy of uploading to Origin or even making a simple patch for this game. It's amazing to me that they will do this for a game like this but who cares, battlefront 2 is coming out so they give a rats ass.
  • Doesn't work on Win 10 due to DRM incompatibility with the software. Use an XP virtual machine.
  • Downloads fine, click play on the first menu and nothing happens, changed compatibility/ran as administrator. changed every setting possible.
    anyone else?
  • This game is one that needs a reboot for Windows 7/8.1/10 and beyond! This is a classic game that can be addicting and provides hours of endless fun. The only way it would be better is if the patches (V1.01 thru V1.03) were readily available and the game didn't crash after trying to start a 500K tournament.
  • I love golf!
