The ball-hitting mechanism is quite familiar to golf games of that era. First, you select the appropriate club for the distance and terrain. Then, a power bar appears, moving back and forth for the player to adjust the shot's strength. Timing the press correctly on the power bar is crucial to ensure the ball travels the desired distance and direction. Next is determining accuracy, often a smaller bar or a moving point where you need to press the button at the right moment to prevent the ball from veering left or right.

The game also takes into account environmental factors such as wind direction and course terrain (rough, bunker, fairway, green), requiring players to have a proper strategy for each shot. The ultimate goal is to get the ball into the hole with the fewest possible strokes (par, birdie, eagle).

The game's graphics feature the characteristic 8-bit style of the NES, with golf courses designed simply but recognizably. The sound also contributes to the atmosphere of a golf match. Mezase! Top Pro - Green ni Kakeru Yume is not just an entertaining game but also a test of patience and timing skills, bringing joy to those who love classic sports games.
