JLGolf: Simple 2D Golf Game for Windows

Free golf game with basic mechanics, clubs, terrain types, and obstacles to achieve the lowest score

What is JLGolf?

JLGolf is a simple, yet addicting 2D golf video game available for free download on Windows. Developed as a hobby project by John Linhart, JLGolf provides a basic golfing experience with no unnecessary complexities.

When you start a game in JLGolf, you are presented with a 2D sideview of a golf course hole. Using your mouse, you click once to start the swing meter, then click again to set the power and hit the ball. As in real golf, different clubs have different loft and curve attributes. You have to take wind speed and direction into account as well when lining up your shots.

The physics modeling in JLGolf provides a satisfying sensation when you strike the ball well and watch it curve beautifully toward the hole. There are basic terrain types that affect how the ball rolls and bounces, plus various obstacles like trees, bunkers, and water hazards to avoid. The objective is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible before moving on to the next hole.

With its straightforward gameplay, pixel art graphics, and focus on realistic golf physics, JLGolf delivers a nostalgic golf game experience. It's an enjoyable free software option for golf fans looking to play a few holes on their Windows computer.
