The first computer game was developed in the year 1962. Since then, computer games have evolved significantly. Today, online versions are available for every game played on earth.

A computer golf game is software that is executed on a computer. This software simulates the game of golf and enables players to experience real life golf on a computer screen. Basic requirements for these games include a fast computer system and the gaming software. The games have individual and multiplayer options for playing the game. Players have the option of playing a single game or participate in a virtual tournament with other game enthusiasts.

The software development process starts by making a digital video of real golf courses. The video is then converted into 3D animation and other related software and plug-ins are added to make a complete computer golf software. Players can customize the look of their virtual golfer and opponents or choose from real life golf professionals provided by the software. They can select their skill levels, shots, clubs and favorite course. The games can also be played in different modes that may include wind mode, ice mode or desert mode. Some computer games allow players to design their own courses and game modes.

Golf is an outdoor game and requires walking long distances on a golf course. Golf club memberships are expensive and unaffordable for many. Computer golf games are relatively cheaper. A good gaming software provides as good an experience as playing real time golf.

These games have helped in increasing the popularity of Golf. Professionals use advanced versions of these games to record their actual play and find flaws in strokes and club selection. In the coming years, the golf software is expected to encourage and aid professionals entering golfing tournaments and championships.
