The Sega Genesis version of Pebble Beach Golf Links, known as True Golf Classics: Pebble Beach Golf Links, was released in North America in 1992. The original game, New 3D Golf Simulation: Pebble Beach no Hatō, was first released in Japan on the PC-98 in 1991.

About Pebble Beach Golf Links

Pebble Beach Golf Links focuses exclusively on a single, well known coastal course. The environment features both wide fairways and hazards like sand bunkers, with some greens positioned near cliffs.

Gameplay uses a third person perspective where the player controls a chosen golfer. A meter system governs the swing, requiring timed inputs to manage power and accuracy. Reading the green is assisted by a topographic grid that displays the slope of the three dimensional putting surface.

Success requires a mix of precision and occasional power, making the overall experience challenging. The design is a dedicated representation of this particular course's layout and demands.
