This nostalgic package is set to launch digitally on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on July 17th 2025.
The Arcade Comes Home
For the first time, a huge collection of the games that became a cultural phenomenon in bars and arcades across the globe is being brought home to modern consoles, complete with a host of new features.

- Golden Tee 3D Golf
- Golden Tee ’97
- Golden Tee ’98

Modern Touches on a Classic Swing
While the games are exactly as you remember them, Atari and Incredible Technologies have added a suite of modern features to enhance the experience.
- New Control Options: The classic trackball feel is being adapted for modern hardware. The games can be played with a standard gamepad, touchscreen, touch pad, or a mouse and keyboard, with support for digital trackballs as well.
- Practice Mode: For the first time ever in Golden Tee, a dedicated practice mode has been added, allowing you to hone your driving, chipping, and putting skills without pressure.
- Mulligans: Had a bad shot? The new Mulligan feature lets you and your friends agree on a number of retries per round.
- Turn-Based Multiplayer: Up to four players can compete across all game modes, just like in the arcade.
- Achievements and Trophies: Fill your virtual trophy cabinet and celebrate your best moments on the digital links.
A Word from the Creators
The teams behind the collection are passionate about bringing this iconic series to a new audience.
“Golden Tee is a cultural phenomenon that brought people together in bars and arcades, and with Golden Tee Arcade Classics, we are giving everyone the chance to experience that same fun and competition at home,” said Mike Mika, Chief Creative Officer at Atari. “We’ve enhanced the games with modern features like practice mode, mulligans, interactive trackball controls and more, giving players new control options tailored to their playstyle. So whether you’re chasing a perfect score and catching up on a few rounds with friends, this collection celebrates everything that makes Golden Tee iconic.”Â
“Bringing 1990s Golden Tee to consoles has been a passion project—these are the games I grew up on, the ones I walked up to as a kid nearly 30 years ago,” said Kevin Lindsay, Head of Amusement Marketing at Incredible Technologies. “Digging through decades of code and art for this project was like unearthing buried treasure. It’s been incredibly rewarding to work with Atari and help breathe new life into this iconic era of Golden Tee Golf.”
