PS4
The same shot carries different stakes depending on your mode in Golf Club Nostalgia. Story lets you experiment with rebounds; Challenge requires you to stay within par, while a mistake in Iron can send you back to the first hole. Use that difference to plan the platinum: do the experiments and unusual interactions in Story, practise a safe line in Challenge, then take it into the final run.
The 28-trophy PS4 list for Golf Club Nostalgia, originally released as Golf Club: Wasteland.
- Required difficulty: Finish Challenge to unlock Iron, then finish Iron.
- Playthroughs: Challenge and Iron are separate clears; Story is useful for optional trophies.
- Online: No multiplayer trophies.
Learn how the ball bounces in Story
Use Story to learn how much power clears a roof and how far the ball rolls on landing. Try shorter lines before a difficult hole: a safer shot matters more than a long gamble when par is on the line later. For Practice makes perfect!, record three different holes in one during the same playthrough, using the simpler early holes.
- Keep the three holes in one in the same playthrough.
Take the optional detours before chasing par
On level 11, land the ball on the overturned pink car and wait with Charlie on the roof for Love Letter to Belgrade. On level 25, use the ball on the red button to open the entrance and pause in the music room for Party Animal. On level 28, let the animal in the gap catch the ball on a dedicated attempt. For Sisyphus on level 29, hit the conveyor button three times.
- Keep these detours for Story so they cannot ruin an Iron attempt.
Complete all 34 Challenge levels
Move on to Challenge once you are comfortable with shot power. A mistake here restarts the hole, so repeat the longest ones until you have a reliable line. The par trophies build during this stage: check the 29-level milestone before the last hole. Finish the 34-level sequence for Challenge Completed! and to open Iron.
- Check that Iron mode is available to select.
Rehearse the holes that cost you strokes
Before starting Iron, note two or three holes where you went over par or lost the ball. Rehearse them in the more forgiving modes and find a landing spot that sets up an easy next shot. Around water or waste, allow extra clearance over the edge. If you still need trophies such as The Beauty of the Apocalypse, do them now: stop on the platform projecting from the building on level 33.
- Set a reference for shot power and aim on the riskiest passages.
Finish Iron without going over par
In Iron, preserving the run is what matters: going over par or losing the ball in a hazard resets the route. Use your rehearsed lines instead of chasing a record hole in one. Check remaining strokes before every shot, particularly near an edge. Reach the end of the sequence in this mode for Iron Will!, then recheck the optional trophies on the PS4 list.
- Finish Iron without taking your optional-trophy detours.

The name change applies to the same game. This guide follows the linked PS4 list; choose your region if you see multiple stacks.
Is Story required to unlock Iron?

Can I earn a separate PS5 platinum?
The PlayStation listing is PS4. Playing it on a PS5 through backwards compatibility still uses the PS4 list.
