Title: Virtual Golf Released: Unreleased Genre: Golf Developer: Core Design Publisher: None % Complete: 80%+

Video games based on sports have always been popular, even those based on golf. Most every console ever made features at least one golfing simulation, and most of these consoles were active many years before Tiger Woods made his first appearance. This popularity of the golfing genre remains something of a mystery, as the "sport" of golf would seem to be a poor subject on which to base a video game aimed at teenagers and young adults. Golf is, after all, a spectator sport, and golf tends to be an activity enjoyed by older adults. It's slow, it doesn't require fast reflexes, and it doesn't demand a particularly high level of athleticism, yet it sells video games... go figure. Virtual Golf was to be a high-end golfing sim highlighting the Scottish Open, one of the major European golfing tournaments. Virtual Golf  was advertised as being "Also Available for 32x" on the back cover of the instruction booklet for another Core title, BC Racers, along with another unreleased game, Soulstar X.  The game was evidently well into development when it was cancelled, and video footage of the game in action appeared on the videotape included in the Virtua Fighter Training Pack. The graphics seemed comparable to those found in 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples, the only 32x golfing game that ever made it onto the fairway.

Virtual Golf may also have been under development for the Atari Jaguar under the name Scottish Open Virtual Golf. The Jaguar, like the 32x, was the victim of poor marketing and cancelled software.
