Overview[]
The Golf Club is a weapon seen in Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, where it is one of the most common weapons in the first game. It is a colorless Iron.
Hotline Miami[]
The Golf Club in Hotline Miami is amongst one of the most common melee weapons in the game, being wielded by Mobsters and commonly being found on the ground. This weapon is required for the Always On Top and Knife For Pros achievements. This weapon is often mistaken for the Lead Pipe due to their very similar appearances and execution animations.
In Chapter 7, Jacket must perform an unique execution on Biker with the Golf Club, by standing in the posture used for playing golf, and smashing Biker's head off with a single fatal swing.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number[]
The Golf Club returns in the second game, although this time a bit uncommon, as Mobsters are only seen in a few levels. It remains unchanged from the first game. This weapon is required for the A BOX FULL OF SHARP OBJECTS achievement. This weapon is often mistaken for the Lead Pipe and the Big Pipe for their similar appearances and execution animations.
In Apocalypse, The Son utilizes a Golf Club to slay The Bear during his hallucinogenic trip. The Son executes his victims with the golf club the same way Jacket executes Biker with it.

Trivia[]
- The Golf Club's standard execution is shared with the Lead Pipe and the Baseball Bat's executions.
- This weapon is used to surreally kill two player characters: Biker's "death" in Jacket's coma dream and Mark's mortal head wound in Apocalypse's hallucination sequence. However, Mark when seen dead in reality from Manny Pardo's perspective appears to have been shot with a Magnum, much like how Alex and Ash were when The Son hallucinated using an axe to kill a giant two headed swan. Biker also survived his attack in reality, which his appearance outside the courthouse during Jacket's trial in the intro to First Trial establishes.
